Everybody's reporting the 3-hour runtime on this. Even Endgame didn't get this much coverage over how long it was. Not sure why this is a big deal, but good on the PR team I guess.

 

I think its because there's literally nothing else to report in terms of movies. Spider-Man is coming to the end of its run, there's nothing new which looks like it will get audiences, the biggest movie from now to March 4 is Uncharted. Leads to too much focus on this, trades are reporting everything - from the PG-13 rating to the runtime to potential sequels. Its perfectly timed for an empty market. If reviews are good, this can be way bigger than expected.

Every little thing about this movie trends like crazy. It's insane.

Sounds like the test screenings gave them confidence on keeping it 2hr 55 min.

I'm going to assume The Batman's runtime is not what he was talking about with this earlier tweet, otherwise Mr. Frosty is losing his grip on what people are aware of lol.

Nah, just nothing else going on at the moment. So even small things get reported on.

He said it isn't.

Now release the budget numbers. They've said it's 100M, but i am not convinced

It's this

 

 

Weird this isn't HBO Max, but I guess Legendary got a better deal from Tim Cook

Nah, it's news that just broke of a Godzilla/Titans Monsterverse series in the works at Apple TV.

The brass early in the Giacchino track is hitting hard. Between hearing that and the Moviemaker article, I'm officially jacked.

Spoiler

HUGE grain of salt: Some guy on reddit is claiming that his brother has seen a test screening and apparently the ending references another hero

The theme is great but does nobody realize it's just a sample of Nirvana?

How is anyone still predicting sub $200m opening weekend for this? The market will be DEAD and the buzz for this is insane.

People are still predicting it because it’s still going to open under $200M 🤷🏼‍♂️

[BestPicturePlutoNash]

200m is still hard. Only 8 films have done it. 5 are MCU/Avengers adjacent. Two are Star Wars. Jurassic World is the outlier but that was a nostalgic smash.

 

BVS is still the highest opening Batman movie and that had hook of a Superman team-up. Ironically, the 17th, 18th and 19th biggest openings are Batman. BVS (166), Dark Knight Rises (160.8m), Dark Knight (158.4m). Of course TDKR has impacted by the tragedy but safe to say, it likely wasn't coming near 200m.

 

160-170ish seems right? (Iron Man 3 did 174m and Civil War did 179m).
