Yeah, we're pretty much back to pre-pandemic levels for the big movies now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as the film does 500 million + (I can see that, take out Russia, China mostly, and then account for realistic pandemic setting), that's a win I'd think. Franchise films have largely been unaffected by the pandemic since Bond came out last October. The Harry Potter series is arguably one of the biggest in the UK, so if Fantastic Beasts drops from its predecessor, it won’t have anything to do with the pandemic, and everything to do with diminishing returns after two middlingly received prior entries. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Roark Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 So it looks like NWH won’t be able to top NTTD. Is the UK the only market where Spidey is not the #1 film of 2021? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildphantom Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 (edited) It’s incredible how much the Beasts franchise has disintegrated into being effectively just another Turtles sequel to audiences. Take it or leave it. whilst I think Harry Potter itself is still as popular as ever, general audiences are really not that bothered about rushing out to see Beasts 3. They don’t really watch the first two on repeat at all. They know this is coming out and are fine to catch up with it down the road. That’s what happens when you make an ambivalent instalment with no real story people are excited to see conclude, and no characters they really care about. I mean, I’ll be there this weekend. I love the wizarding world and regardless of what I thought of Grindelwald, I’m there just for the craft - these films look great and are so well made. But other than the true hardcore I feel like walk-ups are no more likely to pick it over Sonic. I hope I’m wrong and Dumbledore does great, but it doesn’t feel like it at all. I feel zero anticipation in the zeitgeist for it whatsoever. You’ve got a real problem when a franchise so associated with kids doesn’t appeal to them.

The films making more than 600 million in pandemic times are super rare. I have no doubt The Batman and most of the big films releasing now (and especially earlier in the pandemic) would make more in regular times. And let's not even talk about China which is going to be dead for a while with the zero covid policy. That alone means remove 30 million+ probably from the CoG gross, remove Russia, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bond is on a whole new level compared to both of them. Bond is not a SH though. As for Spidey and Batman, the Raimi movies outgrossed Batman begins but then TDK established Batman as the biggest SH and I would say it remained that way till recently. But The Batman 2022 is unlikely to out gross FFH and then there is NWH which is a special case. I'd say for now its a toss. But anyways lets not get into this subjective debate, better stick to UK BO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
