Captain Marvel is more than doubling yesterday's matinees here in Victoria. Can definitely see Asgard's range being accurate, if not higher, based on this

[Mekanos]

Captain Marvel was a lot of fun, although I had doubts during the first act. So far Dr. Strange is the only Phase 3 movie that scores less than a B+ for me.

Heh, found this post from last year:

 

I know it says it's edited but uh, you'll just have to trust me on that one...

 

(I don't expect 450M finish but still)

 

I like how the optimistic WW might be low by a double digit % 

[The Futurist]

MCU movies tend to have strong Satudays, no ?

So how big will Captain Marvel 2 open after this and Endgame? Make your predictions!

It's probably not coming until 2022, so lets see how things are doing then. If I "had" to make an OW prediction for CM2, I'd probably say about 10% over what CM is doing. I don't think there will be a 30% jump or anything like that, just like I don't think there will be for BP2 (I actually expect that to drop a bit.)

Dafaq!?

Here in my country, you only pay if you screw up the whole year, and it's only like a 1000 dollars, slightly more. If you screw up only a couple of exams, you pay even less. I study architecture, my sister studies dental medicine and my brother studies electrical engineering, I'm pretty sure our parents would kill themselves before all of us would get to the second year if our higher education was as messed up as yours, lol. Anyways, good luck, I'm sure you'll manage to pay it off in no time, doctors earn quite a bit, lol.

Looks like Captain Marvel passed the Alita Challenge

[KJsooner]

Rip Alita. Passed it in like 1.5 days. 😂 

 

Cameron who?

[Zakiyyah6]

But 85-90mil for a 170mil budgeted film is excellent because...reasons.

You’re welcome for everything in your country being subsidized because of the size of our market.

Late night shows faring noticeably better than yesterday around my parts. 55 wouldn’t surprise me

I’m thinking WW1984 should benefit from this as well. A friendly rivalry so to speak. 150m is in the cards for her next year 

That is obviously going to be a massive opener if it is good.

[Eric Duncan]

Sigh...I really hate that I have to keep bringing this up.

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.

A lot of people think Lex in BVS was a great villain, myself included.

So you got the joke after all

I know gitesh has an account here. It's nice of him/her to wait until after Rth posts his updates before they tweet it to the twitter masses!😂

Its not hard to estimate and Gitesh is in bizz since it wasn't comScore not even Rentrak.
