I don’t think I’ve ever heard anything nice said about Stan Lee from people that have worked for him. It’s almost always shady business practices and taking credit for shit never did.

 

As for royalties it was probably not much at all. This is an industry that still claims The Flash was created by nobody. That’s how far they refuse to give credit. No man created The Flash it was all DC Comics apparently.

Actually Bill Finger, the same guy who got shafted by Bob Kane and DC, is also the co-creator of the  Flash and was shafted again. Talk about an industry that ate its own.

Marvel movies usually land in the A/A- area. The first Thor was the only one to get lower than that with a B+.

the only MCU films that got less than an A are the Incredible Hulk and Thor 1 and 2 and Cap 1.

 

Ant-Man and the Wasp was way better than those 4 so this score is kinda weird :ph34r:

I wouldn't read too far into the CinemaScore. July looks relatively weak, so I could see Ant-Man and the Wasp putting up durable legs despite any early doomsaying connected with the slightly-lower-than-anticipated CinemaScore.

 

35 would be solid for Friday, though it would put a $100 million weekend out of reach. Still, Ant-Man "only" opened to $57.2 million three years ago, so an opening in the mid-to-high 80s would mark a substantial jump.

Theater count reports on Wednesday were scarce when The Purge 4 opened.  jumps from Weds + Thurs to Friday will require more work when drawing comparisons and I think most of the films that lost around 10% of their spots on Wednesday maintained the same average that was had on Tuesday, if not higher.

 

Take Hereditary for example on July 4th.  I think it should have maintained at least the same attendance it had Mon and Tuesday.

2018/06/29 10 $673,188 +47% 1,424 $473   $37,792,941 22
2018/06/30 11 $867,465 +29% 1,424 $609   $38,660,406 23
2018/07/01 11 $746,158 -14% 1,424 $524   $39,406,564 24
2018/07/02 10 $425,975 -43% 1,424 $299   $39,832,539 25
2018/07/03 11 $440,649 +3% 1,424 $309   $40,273,188 26
2018/07/04 13 $344,958 -22% 1,424 $242   $40,618,146 27
2018/07/05 12 $242,484 -30% 1,424 $170   $40,860,630 28

 

as you can see on July 4th, the number dropped twenty-two percent.  assuming the $309 Tuesday average stayed the same, then the new PTA should be overridden as $309 and the new theater count as 1,116 with the same Wednesday gross and percentage drop.

How long until somebody starts a Mamma Mia > Ant-Man 2 club?

I think it could do 1/3 the Thursday previews of Ant-Man 2.  11.5/3 = 3.83 previews.  10x those previews over the weekend = 38.3 million + previews = 42.1 OW.  If that happens and decent holds continue, I'm sure Mamma Mia 2 could catch Ant-Man 2 in the dailies, but I guess it won't happen until it is confirmed by something.
