Bullet Train and Nope could be breakouts though (hopefully).

Thor is going to eat into Minions' audience a bit. To say nothing of the fact that Minions 2 is going to have a noticeable (but not bad) drop from previous DM movies.

So what are we looking at for presales going live? Next week probably?

I would say next week seems like a good bet (get Memorial Day out of the way).

 

If not perhaps the Monday after JWDs release (so June 13).

[EmpireCity]

It definitely isn't next week.  It will be after Lightyear knowing Disney.  That goes on sale June 7th.  

 

My guess would be June 14th or 16th.

Fun trailer, but if you look closely there's a potential here for this to be one of the weaker MCU films. Some of those effects are Terrible with a capital T. 

 

I'm surprised nobody here has mentioned it given 

A. how bad they look

B. that's all Twitter is talking about re: this trailer

The effects just didn't try to looks realistic. 

 

It's more stylistic and cartoonish, but it's very well done, that's why nobody was freaking out complaining. 

 

And honestly how VFX alone can make a movie to be weak? NWH have some awful scenes with heavy effects and people adored it.

I too love stylistic and cartoonish cgi like this.

Bad effects didnt stop Black Panther from breaking records.

 

People on the Internet generally overstate how much the GA cares about the quality of special effects in my opinion. Sure, if they are real bad, then that obviously gets noticed. But if they still look acceptable and a good story surrounds them, then most people just dont care.

No, the real VFX in the marvel movies are those muscles....that is why nobody realise the CGI was meh.  

[ddddeeee]

It really does look bad. I love the runs this is based on, I love Ragnarok, Thor is probably my favourite comic book...but I can't get excited for this because I really hate the look. It reminds me of Zoom backgrounds.

There's a conversation to be had about how the productions of these movies have ostensibly glorified steroid use lol

Except that's not what it looks like.

[Brainbug]

Im a bit confused honestly. To me, both the teaser and the main trailer looked visually good enough? Very Ragnarok-syle but thats ofc to be expected with Waititi. But it looks colorfull, energetic and yeah ... just stylish.

 

Definetly better than a Zoom background lol.

MCU SFX is mostly shit, nothing new here. But twitter acting like L&T SFX is She-Hulk level debacle is a typical fandom exaggeration. 

 

SFX is easy to polish but honestly I dig L&T look a lot. It's fantasy so you can get away with a bit of unrealsitic.

[Jeight]

How exactly is mcu sfx mistly shit? The majority of jt ranges from hood to great. There are dodgy shots but yhat is expected from every vfx heavy franchise.

 

Dc movies dont have inconsistent cgi?

Adjusting for about a 10,000x budget, looks about the same to me.

what does DC have to do with anything? MCU SFX isn't known to be top notch. Thanos was pretty great but the rest is between average and some "where did 200M+ go?". So zero-ing on L&T SFX when MOM zombie looked embarrassing af is just nitpicking. Also, hilarious that L&T is catching some flack with She-Hulk fiasco right there.
