I will be more careful in my of meh. Too strong of a negative connotation associated with it. Good films with awesome openings may not have amazing legs. Great films with just good openings have a better shot of having great legs. Even then no guarantee. The point was, those chart profiles show 90% of Marvel movies have the same profile. So we can predict with some accuracy what it is going to end up at, which currently is around 405m. What we don't know is what effect EG is going to have. It may have a positive or negative effect.

terrestrial Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 (edited) With $4.3 million on Tuesday (+49% from Monday), Captain Marvel has earned $327.9m domestic as it approaches its first month in theaters .... Overseas is another story. With $591 million in foreign box office as of Monday, it's just over/under $600m overseas by today. It should have around $603m overseas as of yesterday, giving it a global cume over/under $930m thus far. .... https://www.forbes.com/sites/scottmendelson/2019/03/27/captain-marvel-brie-larson-box-office-disney-avengers-suicide-squad-deadpool-wonder-woman/#2a223ec81c5a Edited March 27, 2019 by terrestrial 8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Tran Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 The problem with CM is that yes it is having a good run and will finish above a billion WW but there have been recent films where similar runs were downplayed on here so there is no reason to be "OMG what a run by CM!" .... if all movies that had similar runs were treated equally then maybe there would be more excitement for what CM is doing. 2 1 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Tran Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Perfect example: Fast 8. Fate of the Furious did $1.2+ billion. I don't believe CM will catch that number. It was treated as "meh" on here. Both movies probably cost around the same ballpark to make, F8 did better overseas and CM is doing better here in North America. Nobody was tracking F8 every day and saying what a great run at the box office it's having. In fact, people were saying it should have done more. Again, CM will not reach $1.2B 1 1 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Tran Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 (edited) All I'm saying is a little consistency would go a long ways. 😉 Captain Marvel isn't a typical 1st entry. It's the 21st movie into the MCU. An 8th movie in a franchise doing $1.2 billion some 17 years or so after the first one was released is not something to be excited about? It doesn't deserve high praise? This is where the biases come in. Edited March 27, 2019 by Johnny Tran 2 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be treated like Aquaman. Both recent origin flicks. Both over $1B. Awesome for both. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, CM will not reach $1.2B To be fair and realistic, we are still in the middle of an MCU boom, and sociologically speaking, it is normal for lots of people to cheer for/root for /champion whatever is the trendy/hot/of the moment thing in pop culture, while the FF franchise is widely perceived as "not so hot" (even though the actual numbers say otherwise. Also, to be fair, most people here are quite balanced in their assessment of CM. Even its staunch defenders generally call it "ok" ir "good" (not "great") and most people here who have no horse in this race generally say that its domestic BO run is good (not OMG or extraordinary). There will always be one or two who will scream "troll" at anybody who dares not rave about MCU films and their box office (or any big franchise film) but that is normal for any fandom.

Nova Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Imagine walking around and trying to down play any movie that's grossed over a billion dollars. All that free time on your hands and you spend it hating on projects that are just winning. Meanwhile the studios making that billie off of one movie is just chilling. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For better or worse... Why? Why is there more investment in tracking one genre over another? It's a site dedicated to box office numbers, it's not a fan site. Unless you're telling me that it is a fan site now? I remember when I first started posting here or even when I was lurking the threads there was discussion on all types of movies and all types of runs.. What happened? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without commenting on whether I personally agree, its 1.2B was met with a shrug for the same reason people were underwhelmed by TLJ, JWFK, and even AoU. It’s in a completely different category of expectations than CM, so obviously it got a completely different sort of response. I guarantee that if BP2 makes 1.15 it will be treated more like F8 than CM. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
