Those two you mentioned are Sat-Sun only which is $3.9mn for Captain Marvel.

 

 

I didn't know that. Still higher 2-day for CM, which is good.

Go to sleep! Thank you, but we can wait while you get a full night's rest before giving us an update. ❤

Who is this "we" that you speak of? Do you not remember what happened last time Charlie decided to choose sleep over BOT? How some of you forget so quickly

Go to sleep. You need to recharge your powers for next weekend.

So you appreciate that WB doesn’t have to rely on live action adaptations and superheroes and then say that WB had to rely on a superhero and a live action adaptation to hit the billion mark?

Yeah my phrasing was stupid as hell.I mentioned WB because they (will) have 2 billion films but I appreciate them because they also have 2 major horror franchises (conjuring,it),one monster franchise (Godzilla v kong) and then they will throw something original in the mix like a Nolan film or something.What's the last time Disney had one of those?

Aquaman had very good Sunday, not much less than CM. CM started with +80% on Friday.

So i guess Blunder Park is replacing Lego 2 as the biggest disappointment/ bomb of the year so far. 4.3 million does not sound good at all.

They have had those recently; it is just that they have flopped.

You know what sucks about Alita? that it still made enough that studios will continue to try to make more bad anime live action adaptations instead of making animated anime movies. Anime and live action do not go together at all period. Quit trying to make them a thing.

 

But Alita was good.

Everything that’s been said alredy confirms what I’ve stated all this time. The movie won’t be the massive 1 billion grossing success that BOT is expecting. Those predictions are absolutely batshit insane. I trust that Grace Randolph has inside information. But we don’t even need that to deduct that the movie will gross 700 million AT most (Im expecting 600~). Just look at the trailer and reception. The movie looks basic and boring (phase 1 level) and I don’t think anyone’s booty hole will be puckering to see it. 

Imagine typing out this wikipedia entry and being completely wrong

He obviously meant live-action remakes of cartoons for Disney. It doesn't get worse than that in terms of originality (except perhaps CGI "photorealistic" "live action" remakes).

 

In comparison, a first adaptation like Detective Pikachu is a triumph of creativity for a movie dominating the box office.

The first 10 minutes were great and then.... meh

 

 

 

And it still was the best theatrical Batman since the DCU got started. Which is... quite sad.
