Anyway it’s great to see Michael Pena opening a film to 80M.  That’s phenomenal and proves he has excellent drawing power.

Just goes to show when you put him in a good movie, the sky’s the limit. The role in the last four films he was in (Ninjago, Pony, 12 Strong and WIT) was a fraction of his Oscar worthy locked performance in Ant Man and The Wasp.

The truly incredible thing about the box office so far this year is how much it is dominated by A) Marvel and B> Superhero movies in general.  Obviously it's not surprising that people are seeing super hero movies, they have been huge since 2008 and really before that.  But without looking it up, has there ever been a time in box office history when in the first 5 months of the year, three huge super hero movies were released and were all massive hits?  People talk about fatigue with other franchises, but Marvel had Black Panther in February and that is going to cross 700.  Then two months later it had IW and that is going to come close to 700 and then three weeks later Marvel and Fox put out Deadpool 2 and it is going to hit 320.  Add in The Incredibles 2, even though it is Pixar first and then Ant-Man and super hero movies are just killing it this year, maybe more than any other year in history.  Later this year we have Aquaman and if it can hit 200 million, it'll add to an already massive year for the genre.

 

Last year we had six super hero movies in the top 12 but the overall gross is nowhere near what it will be this year.  We still have Aquaman and Venom and they will both have a chance at more than 200 million so this year is going to be absolutely ridiculous for the grosses.  I know including I2 is cheating a little, but even if you take it out, this year still towers over last.  

 

Like it or not, super hero genre is here to stay and it's killing it at the box office.    

Here to stay... for now.  Westerns had 45 solid years then died off.

John Wayne's last film was in 76,. Superman came out in 78. Its like he passed the batton before he died in 79.

Yep, they are here for now and the foreseeable future.  Maybe they will die out one day.  But right now they are at their apex.  So I'm just giving credit where it's due.

[DAJK]

The fact that we’re in the middle of the (likely) the smallest major CBM of the year (yes, I do think Venom and Aqua will be bigger) yet it’s still one of the biggest movies of the summer is a true testament to the genre.

I can’t be the only one who feels like they’ve gone on a drug trip every single time they read one of @dVmatrixmathi5xdU posts.

There is nothing terrible about Ant Man's number or The First Purge's number, so some of you might want to relax with the projections.

Westerns will probably always be alive though and reiterated in different ways.

Deadline reports that Sorry to Bother You is looking at $695K for the weekend (or around $43K average from 16 theaters). Pretty great start. Hopefully that translates to decent business when it goes wide next weekend.

You don't have to care to know that AM2 over 80M OW being disappointing is kind of a ridiculous notion. (I didn't say you said that, for the record.) 

80 mln is a great opening for Ant man2, but I still don't care.
