Fascinating degree of frontloadedness for Ant-Man & The Wasp.

Is the 6.61 internal multi the worst ever for an non Avengers MCU ? Those have ridiculous mega previews numbers like the star wars that make certain to keep low internal multi.

 

Civil War 7.16

Homecoming 7.6

Thor: 8.46

 

Is so, how much is simply having the Thursday falling on the 4 of July celebration/people taking days of ?, do we have some precedent for very recent blockbuster ?

 

Will see with the legs I guess.

An MCU sequel opening under $80M? Time to fire Kathleen Kennedy. 

[Rman823]

Movie should have had that Hawkeye cameo. 125M + OW confirmed. 

[Rebeccas]

Clearly Disney knew the potential for this franchise was smaller than their others since they kept it to a smaller budget than Ragnarok, Homecoming, Dr. Strange and obviously Black Panther. A $200m budget for this would've been a bad decision they managed to avoid.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Sky falling for marvel, must be amc only paying studios 8.99 for premium screenings. Disney will use it clout to stop this.

It was a considerably smaller rumored budget than the first Thor and first Captain America and opening not too far (and very well intl). Googling a little bit for the forbes and others OW reaction, not one mention of a flop can be seen, all mentioning a nice smaller scale for them but still clear success story.

AMATW needs a 2.79 multiplier to pass Solo.

Just look at the Friday jumps and internal multis for other films this week to see how box office was reacting - and the other times July 4th landed on a Wed in 2007 and 2012.

It would've made a billion dollars in 2 weeks.

Hard to really compare when Thursday previews weren't really a thing in those years..

[Nova]

@GraceRandolph that’s it. Omg. It’s over. The MCU is done. Time to pack it up. Right? 

 

Your Queen, Miss Randolph, also agrees. So it must be true

Is Europe the only region that Disney delayed their releases? If so, good foreshadowing about who would be in the WC finals lol

Previews were still midnight in 2007 and 2012 too right ? (And amazing spider man was a monday release in 2012), I have an hard time reading them, but a quick look July 6 friday jumps was quite quite low, indicating that it was either a specially strong Thursday or low weekend.
