Universal taking the studio crown in 2015 is unforgivable.

 

That was Disney's year.

This is so stupid backward reasoning

 I think you know you are wrong.

How is it wrong?

 

Because Avengers wasn't released earlier?

 

Avengers = megafranchise

 

IM/Thor/Cap/etc = subfranchises

 

Actually I'll just call IM a subfranchise instead of debating semantics.

 

How many Jurassic World subfranchises could make over 200 m DOM and 700 m WW.

 I was just lurking in 2015 on these forums, but many many Marvel fans were extremely butthurt that JW not only demolished Age of Ultron DOM, but worldwide.

Honestly, it deserves it. I don't love JW1 by any means, but I'll take it over AOU any day of every month. And they probably would too. But nah, I don't think the problem is Ultron, or just Ultron - the problem is Avengers 1, which JW also outgrossed both DOM, OS and WW. That's what triggered them really bad. Can't imagine what would've happened if Avengers was still #3 before The Force Awakens came out.... meltdowns everyday over the inevitability.

 

And now, FK is having a very worrying drop from JW1, but it seems Marvel fanboys are going the extra mile with the schadenfraude, almost as if they were worried FK was ever gonna even touch the MCU 2018 dominance of BP/IW. Pettyness over small things, my friend. 'Tis what it is.

JWFK will be nowhere near as frontloaded as SMH was on it's OD.

Imagine rooting for cinematic dreams filled with mythical heroes who compete for cultural capital by the billions and survive generation after generation pushing the boundaries of imagination and communication.

 

Beats pro wrestling and football imo.

Why?

 

Marvel won’t stop.

 

Jurassic World subfranchises would never make 200M.

 

Disney.

 

Lmao.

[JohnnyGossamer]

Yes. Any talk of any MCU, DCEU, etc. being a spin off needs to stop now. That's goofy talk.

I'm convinced grey ghost is just trolling us all at this point.

[FilmBuff]

Fuck marvel fanboys.

Ignore me.

 

But don't tell me I can't explore the definition of a spin off in a box office forum.

I still have yet to figure out how an 18% preview drop from a mega-blockbuster is "worrying".

[MovieMan89]

A direct sequel from the modern preview era (let's say 2014-) going over a 9x multi from its previews is pretty much uncharted territory. Only a couple have gone over 8x.

IM/CA/Thor are not spin-offs.

 

You could say that SM;H is a spin-off, or that BP was a spin-off.

I didn't tell you you couldn't, I said that everyone else is in physical pain reading this and would appreciate you stopping

Have you banged your head recently? 

 

I’m pretty sure you didn’t always act like this?

Well for context someone bragged that JW2 would make more than Iron Man, Thor, Cap.
