I find that whole sentiment strange honestly since that was the whole selling point in the first place.

Sure, but many thought they'd team up at the end and fight the big bad and it would end upbeat.  Conversely,  there are those that were salivating for death and felt unfulfilled.

 

IIRC The Russos & Marcus & McFeely said the last part of the movie played out like a horror movie during earlier screenings and if your a big fan of both Steve & Tony it does.

 

It's easily in my top 5 but I can understand those who though they liked or even loved it did not opt for second theatrical viewings.

 

The downer ending is why many thought AIW would have similar legs and also why there was reportedly some internal debate on how to end AIW

IW may have a downer ending, but it has a clear victor, which allows catharsis for the audience. 

 

CW just has 2 friends beating the crap out of each other and feeling bad about it the whole time.  No surprise to me audiences didn't want to relive that to the same extent they do other MCU films.

I think these are Charlie's personal estimates. Since its already past the weekend, actuals will probably be close.

Then why is there a Robert Rodriguez movie in there 🤔

I defined the JCU as Jim movies plus Alita, that's why.

Strange Days? Why no Strange Days? He wrote the story, he wrote the screenplay and he produced it.

I like strange days.

 

We need a serious discussion to define  Jim movies by there types.

 

Perhaps the JCU can be Jim films + productions with screen play

[charlie Jatinder]

So I had exams close to Endgame and now they are postponed.

 

Cutting the crap,

 

We are getting very early estimates on 26th April 2019 20:30 IST.

I think the ending of IW really changes how you see the film.

 

You see it as more a film about Thanos and that really changes how you see the film.

 

Meaning it makes for an interesting rewatch and IW is quite a rewatchable film. 

 

I have already seen the movie 5 times since release lol .

So I'm seeing lots of people joining the 1.3 billie bandwagon which I've always been a part of. Interesting, very interesting...

You can't lock 400DOM and Billion after OW even with these numbers. Reactions are good but they aren't buzzing like BP either.

 

There is also potential frontloading from the Endgame tie in stuff. Now that thats done how many repeat viewings are there going to be? (haven't seen the movie yet myself). 

 

The movie is a success based on OW alone with a 152 budget but legs aren't guaranteed especially without holidays or summer. 

 

Spring break starts this week and goes for several weeks for many kids, could lead to higher dailies/weekend numbers.

I don't understand. How can anyone prefer GOTG2 over the first one?

 

GOTG is a very fun space adventure which doesnt have much emotional substance apart from the great opening scene.

 

GOTG 2 is also a very fun space adventure but it has much more emotional beats throughout. It has a much better villain with Ego and Kurt Russel is gold. I find Vol 2 to be a much more investing film.

Uhh...did they just say 700-800m Total worldwide. Who wrote this 

[ZattMurdock]

Captain Marvel, Aquaman and hell even maybe Shazam! will have $1B films before Spider-Man does. Mind-boggling. With that said, this is not a shade on Homecoming, I very much love what Marvel Studios is doing with the character, the slow build of the character Harry Potter style is bound to make the character THE biggest of the MCU going forward, let's hope that Sony doesn't fuck it up and keep the deal going in the future. Tom Holland could easily make as much Spider-Man films as RDJ has done Iron Man films. Hell, he could even top him.

Quote

Together with her overseas take of $302M –the 5th best overseas debut of all-time–global debut for the Disney pic stands at $456M. By the end of its first week (or less), film finance executives are saying that Captain Marvel will hit $650M global and pass break-even in its theatrical cycle based off combined net production and global marketing costs of $300m. Final domestic B.O. should be north of $400M. Final global, if the film is front-loaded would be around $750M-$800M, with a shot at $1 billion.
