Brie Larson said that she wanted more diversity in critics circles so some white men thought they were being attacked and thus decided to "boycott" Captain Marvel and also troll its audience score on various sites. 

 

*Mods I hope I don't get banned for replying to this. Just answering a question and really not trying to start anything.* 

 

@DeeCee seeing Novas Post:

 

 

No mercy.

Alita was supposed to make more than AM&TW. There are receipts. Out of respect for receipt holders, I will not report them. 

Not according to Boxoffice prophets though. Maybe Alita or Cameron fans had it at those numbers.

I actually agree. That small scene and especially Mark Ruffalo in the Hulkbuster just ... well lets call it unfinished CGI. Infinity War had some incredible VFX, but it was not 100% consistent.

Can we estimate CM legs based on the Sunday drop? Too soon?

Box office Pro predicted a $14m opening and $41m total Dom.

That's with all their insider info and years of tracking experience.

They were were over 100% wrong.

Alita over AMATW will only be 40% wrong.

 

It's easy to laugh at predictions when you made none yourself.

Yes this is an excellent summary and leaves nothing out

This but unironically.

Can’t we all just believe in our hearts Alita got a billie and leave it at that?

2. KEEP YOUR AGENDA OUT OF HERE. We get it. Marvel is the greatest film series ever created and all other franchises are below it. Marvel is destroying cinema and Kevin Feige/Bob Iger/Kathleen Kennedy is the spawn of Satan, and DC or James Cameron are gifts from God. Wonder Woman is better than Captain Marvel. Captain Marvel's better than Wonder Woman. Alita's better than Captain Marvel. Captain Marvel's better than Alita. Shazam is the true Captain Marvel. Brie Larson wants to exterminate white men from existence. Yadda yadda yadda.

 

There's a time and place for these kinds of statements...actually, there isn't. But at the very least, it doesn't belong here. If you want to start these beefs related to all of these dumb children's movies, take it to the Fanboy Wars thread right here. If you do this kind of stuff here, it'll derail the thread and can be considered trolling. The mods will not be kind to the people who started this, I'll tell you that much. Don't be a dick.

I reckon Captain Marvel will surpass Wonder Woman's 16 week worldwide total after 10 days.

Predicting the future is freaking ludicrously hard ahead of time and really, really easy to do after-the-fact. Not putting your money where your mouth is *ahead of time* matters a lot.

Just want to say that Alita is finishing closer to that 41 mil prediction than whatever AMATW made DOM.

Make that 3.

[DAJK]

Had a dream last night that upon the Fox acquisition, Feige put into motion a Fantastic 4 reboot... directed by Tim Story. 

[Valonqar]

Alita won't even get a sequel let alone a billie.

>Does it bother you, that I didn't make a billie?

>You're the most billion dollar movie I've ever seen
