This thing gonna bust past $400 million domestic or no?

Need to see audience reception, leaning towards no for now.

People here are saying that the franchise feels purposeless because it's building up to nothing right now, but I think it feels purposeless because of the opposite. They are building up to too many things. There are way too many ongoing threads that it's impossible to make sense of any of it.

 

This is certainly possible. Building up to Young Avengers, Secret Wars, Defenders Part II, and Thunderbolts all at the same time.

Honestly shocked a bit. Never thought it would go this low. Reactions seemed stronger than Doctor Strange 2

 

Really? The trailers are ass.

Every time Waititi takes over he returns Thor to 2011 maturity.

Even if audience reception is like MoM it would pass 400M bcz of lack of competition in July & August. MCU movies got free run in 2021 & now getting free run in 2022 but they won't be that lucky 2023 onwards as WB will release 4 DCEU movies & Sony will release 3 Marvel movies each year

But what if audience reception is worse than MoM?

Phase 4 - 75.8% on RT

Phase 3 - 89.1 on RT

It would get A- or in worst case scenario B+ bcz of jokes & comedy

[ThomasNicole]

I think this will finish with 360-380M assuming audience reception is decent [at least A- cinemascore]

 

Not bad, not great, fine like pretty much the whole phase 4 has being

Not if the OW is less than $130 million. Or at least I doubt it. It's going to have to have TGM type legs in order to avoid a 45-day D+ release (although they MAY wait until right after the Labor Day holiday).

I'm not sure about that. Reviews are worse, and usually reviews and audience score are pretty tightly coupled for MCU.

Hot take: No Way Home is a Sony Spider-Man movie that disconnects from the MCU and should not be considered in the same listless post-Endgame MCU category as the rest of these movies that have come out in past year.

This stands true just by the virtue of Tony Stark references per hour

[Lighthouse]

The amount of bad reviews with huge score, truly shameless. If this wasn't Marvel, it would have been rotten by now.

You´re really saying critics are kind to Marvel and priorize their movies when this is the fourth of only six movies they release that is getting just ok reviews in barely a year? This was a bad argument back in 2016, it´s even worse now. 

 

It´s weird that is so hard to believe people simply can see problems in a movie and despite recognize them, still think it wasn´t enough to bring down the overall positive experience. Grades isn´t a rule that people have to keep taking a few points every time they see a problem.

As an MCU fan, Critics are surely lenient for MCU. 

 

But that is only because how much MCU was fun for all, even the lower quality movies had enough humour and likeable characters to get them decent ratings.

 

Eternals had neither character nor humor, and it is rotten.

 

Although i have absolutely no idea how  Multiverse of Madness is 74 on RT. It's inexplicable except leniency.

and why you said is not good? because has a low score in sites like metacritic where other taika films like jojo rabbit ( witch won best screenplay oscar) had low score too?
