Before WW1984 BOP and Black Widow are coming.. I think second movie wouldn't have that royalty like the first one. 

 

It will do good but not that good. 

 

I also except BP to decrease. There is nothing wrong in that. 

There's so much good will from the first movie. There's no reason to not do better.

Does $5-10m give or take domestic really matter?  Especially when we're not even bothering to do adjusted numbers?

But adjusted for inflation, it will be even more difficult for CM.

Anyway it isn't a contest, but WW was obviously the more significant movie - the rise of female superhero blockbusters.

415M would be acceptable. As long as it doesnt go over Fallen Kingdom, the world will be a happy place.

Dear Disney,

 

Let's do some fudging.

I loved WW so much. I can't believe CM is beating it by that much. And NO, i haven't seen CM yet, but i can't imagine it being better.

Maybe for some people it's better. 

 

I love both Wondy and CM. There is nothing wrong in CM doing better than WW. 

 

Did you feel sad when Avengers out grossed Dark Knight or when 

 

Nth Spiderman Movie out grossed (N-1)th Spiderman Movie.

People are so insecure that CM is out grossing WW. 

 

 

Every year tons of male Superhero movies outgross tons of other male Superhero movies.

It will do better overseas by a large margain i think.

All i'm saying is that WW deserved to do more. At least 1B. It's so easy for the other cbm to do it.

I expect WW1984 to explode. 200/500 is my prediction.

So do I to be honest maybe a bit lower on the OW side as there’s no real competition for it in the summer domestically (Black Widow will likely do around Ant Man Numbers, Fast 9 will decrease domestically, Ghostbusters are dead and Minions 2 is going decrease so much) and although CBMs likely won’t be as big as the last two years, I still think there would be a lot of hype. It, whatever Nolan and Pixar projects are and Jungle Cruise in my opinion will likely be the biggest summer breakouts.

You'd think they'd be more offended that Venom and AQM out grossed WW

It's not easy btw.. 

 

Just because BP, CM and Aquaman did it in first try doesn't mean everyone can do it. 

 

What a nice way of undermining other CBM success.. 🙄🙄🙄🙄

Hey fellas, I Here if you say “Shazam will perform like a family comedy” just once more, it’ll come true this time.

Box office has absolutely nothing to do with what we subjectively think a movie "deserves" to earn.

$1B is still a hard number. Even films like GV2, Homecoming, BVS and JL, all of which had decent shots failed.
