Still remember the disappointment when Scre4m opened way under what was predicted. The meltdowns were way up there with some of the best. Mass revolt.

I think it can still cross 2B but TFA is gonna be hard without 700 million DOM. 

670+430+980. We’re just leaning harder on China now.

I meant WW guys for highest grossing disappointment for Ultron.

 

TLJ is highest grossing disappointment domestic lol 

[Zakiyyah6]

Scream 4 was a garbage movie, I was okay with it disappointing.

[a2k]

JP2 for it's time was the highest grossing disappointment.

Thanks, I’m perfectly aware that IW isn’t actually crumbling. It’s just a fun meme.     

 

My point was simply that a big OW is 0 evidence against crumbling, when you seemed to be listing it as though it was.

 

I don't remember saying anything about it crumbling.  In fact I said the opposite.

I'll still maintain that TLJ had a decidedly average performance for a Star Wars saga sequel to the biggest movie of the decade. 1.1B would be a "disappointment," 1.5B would be a big success.

TLJ was such an event, two films from the MCU ended up being a much bigger deal in 6 months

The raw numbers were great but the word of mouth was decidedly mixed. Box office numbers don't exist in a vacuum, the reception and legs matter just as much as the total. TLJ was NEVER going to do as well as TFA but I still maintain that it would have done better if more people had liked it. It's controversial here and there are decent arguments against but I do classify it's numbers as slightly disappointing for those reasons.

TLJ is shorthand for "Cut half an hour for a much better movie that makes a couple hundred million more dollars."

Titanic WW is still in play depending on how high China goes. 

Based on everything I’ve read about where China could land seems like 450-500m should be expected.
