Why would it be better received? Huge assumption.

 

Has there ever been an absolute terrible movie that actually improved with a sequel?

 

Even without HBO Max, TSS wouldn't have come close to Suicide Squad

 

This movie will surely be the Magnum Opus Best Picture nominee though. It's guaranteed!!! 

[ThomasNicole]

Some of you keep overestimating how bad Eternals reception will impact on a sequel 

 

Thor get a B+ cinemascore, the sequel is probably the most hated MCU movie by fans and still it grow up, and after 2 bad received movies in a roll, Ragnarok still blowed up lol 

 

Eternals 2 is probably coming in 2025, i bet even further. Nobody will even remember Eternals was that poorly received by then to hurt it's box office, especially if they ended up on the Avengers 5-6 movies and made a good impression. 

 

Of course they need to correct a lot of things, but expect a bomb years prior release is funny

Yes, it is an assumption. That’s how prognostication works.

Typically a poorly received movie wouldn’t get a sequel to begin with but this is the MCU and if it’s a better received film (this is an assumption!) then it won’t go down from the first. I guarantee that.

I think this can do 75M for sure... in total

[Lion Roar]

I for one am very much looking forward to more Makkari/Druig.

This is the MCU, not a DC film. Don’t get yourself 5 warning points for trolling outside of your home.

[Mr Terrific]

Um. Yeah. 
Eternals had its chance. It did not work out. I’ll see the sequel, but it just pushes other possibilities farther down the road.

Happy for the people who enjoyed eternals. Wasn’t a fan of the first but it’s some years away so we’ll what happens as the mcu storey moves along.

Can't wait. Finally, we all get to enjoy a MCU movie outright bombing at the box office.

 

Bring Gemma Chan back to stare confusingly at things and Jon Snow doing his I know nothing face as well.

 

Let's start the bidding at 40M OW.

Over 100M

[John Marston]

they can make a sequel if they want but it will likely flop. Kevin Feige is not invincible. People should realize that now

[Joyous Legion]

Some big trollin in this thread. This will probably be one of the most satisfying runs ever just for the egg on certain people's faces.

 

[The GOAT]

250 million dollars to make another convoluted snoozefest? I doubt it. 100% getting canned.

I know right? How dare people think differently than you.

Because $200M is crazy but $100M isn't much of a stretch. The first one made $71.5M OW with poor reception near the height of a pandemic. 

Ragnarok increased OW 43% from poorly received TDW. IM3 increased 36% over poorly received IM2. Neither of these had the benefit of major ticket price inflation like this sequel will.

Y’all ready for this take?

 

Eternals straight up is better than both MCU projects in 2022 so far.

That's a disingenuous rephrasing of my statement on a way that seems to be a recurring bit for you.

[Lion Roar]

This movie will likely be released between A5 and A6 and be marketed as essential watch for Secret Wars. Even if it doesn't do amazing numbers there's no way it bombs.

Cold take.

 

It's better than all 3 movies that followed it
