What I remember from last night was 

 

Hobbs and Shaw

Spider Man

Dark Phoenix new trailer 

Dumbo

The Lion King

Shazam new trailer

Avengers Endgame

 

If there were any other trailers they werent memorable.

Its funny. We had a bunch of family/Christian-themed trailers:

 

A Dog's Journey

Wonder Park

Dumbo

Shazam

Run the Race

Breakthrough

 

Then the *Dreamworks* logo came up and it started playing HTTYD3. We got about a minute into it, the screen suddenly went black for a minute, and then the Disney logo came up and the movie actually started. Was kinda weird and the second time that's happened. When we went to the Wonder Woman premier they accidentally started the last Pirates of the Caribbean movie instead before realizing their mistake and running the correct movie.

 

I have to say, the audience really got into the Stan Lee-centric Marvel opening.

Not for us here overseas, its now nearly 4 pm!

 

Sure, but that doesn't change the fact that more than half the countries theaters aren't even open yet.

People are high fiving each other likes it’s the first MCU movie to open strongly. Once the hardcore MCU fans are done seeing this for the 10th time in two days that's when we see if it really is a hit with GA. 

The general audience are the hardcore mcu fans. They watch all the movies but know nothing of the comics. From here on out every Marvel film is locked for nearly 80m at a minimum on OW.

Am I the only one that thinks it's too early even for Charlie?

 

No offense, but my God it's 8:30am 🤣

Yeah, its basically an estimate, which we do in China thread based on PS we have, on the basis of comps which we think might suit it.

[Krissykins]

$150m gives it the 4th biggest March opening weekend ever, behind Beauty and the Beast, Batman v Superman and The Hunger Games. 

 

2nd biggest Superhero origin film opening ever, after Black Panther (which BOM doesn’t count as an origin film, why is that??)

So basically, it's a forecast.

Ant-Man and the Wasp didn’t reach $80m and that was the most recent release before today.

Daylight saving time or not? The world time map shows both for your theoretical time zone (I hate when they do that, all within their zones should have the same, less confusion)

Hey nobody said you arent allowed to like BATB 17. Why do you feel so attacked?

 

Just because someone (like me in this instance) says "I dont like Film X", that doesnt mean that others cant like it, obviously. Its just the opinion of 1 guy lol.

Why would you think i would be attacked? I’m not offended that that there are dislikers of that movie. Don’t try to school me for being too sensitive for a huge movie. 🙄

I think the logic is that Black Panther was introduced in Civil War, and the events in the BP movie is after that.

 

Whereas even though Wonder Woman was introduced in BvS, the events in the WW movie precedes BvS.

Well, BOM did count it as a superhero origin film, but for some lame reason, it’s discounted nowadays.

Also, I'd say, because Black Panther didn't show the origin of him becoming Black Panther.
