Doesn't that seem high with a B Cinemascore. 2.5x legs 🤔

I am thinking that the lack of competition plus Thanksgiving will help with legs. I don't expect anything to do much until NWH. The biggest threat is Ghostbusters (which I personally think it will open with 25M). Encanto and Gucci go after different target audiences.

Prequel/Sequel debate on BOT? The real Eternals 

Only the Sequel Sequel Trilogy can save us now

Anyway the trade war and senate vote of no confidence stuff is why PT is easily better than OT and ST

[Starphanluke]

The funny part of the stupid SW discussion is that I genuinely think a big Star Wars movie could be one of the things to rejuvenate the domestic box office, even moreso than anything Marvel could offer. Marvel of course is the juggernaut worldwide, but SW has a tight grip domestically. Shame there's no SW movie on the horizon.

 

Edit: specifically, I think SW could both convince older crowds to return to theatres AND excite younger crowds in a way most pandemic movies have failed to do thus far.

I’m not sure how worth it is keeping the convo going: I’m super conservative here and you guys are really gung ho. I don’t think we’re going to convince each other so in like 5-6 weeks we’ll find out. 

this is way too rational. Can’t compute. I must fight with @Eternal Legion over NWH until we are both on our last breath. 

[John Marston]

Spider-Man NO Way Home would have probably made 600m in normal times but right now it will have to settle with 500m

I predict a 117M OW for 880M WW.

Just trying to predict SMH accurately. If you’re from the future maybe you can tell me whether I got close.

I am afraid I can't tell you. That may temper the absolute point, which may destroy fabric of time and reality.

 

Please return to your time ASAP.

I’m sorry, but I find this unacceptable. I will go consume eldritch horrors for a few centuries instead.

Time difference between duo is like conversation of people between Stone Age &22nd Century

So they’re still making CBMs then. 

[Eric Prime]

Look I would love to be proven wrong here, and I'm sure this is just me going "expect the worst, hope for the best", but everything from how the current market is looking and acting, as well as how much larger and potent the streaming/VOD market is here in the US compared to other countries just reads to me that NWH will do ~350M, and I think that's still a really good and wonderful and important milestone to get to and we shouldn't just discredit that because it would do more in 2019.

Ohh ffs. Yes you are right.

 

Now don't do that what you said you will. On that note, also convey to Feige to stick to formula for Eternals.

Are you sure? I have this weird feeling all of existence might be destroyed a killer robot if I decide not to.

Nah, I’m happy with the results of the sacred timeline there

To be fair; this is post End Game and the MCU brand is stronger than before. 

We also have Angelina Jolie’s debut in the MCU.

 

I am not sure actually how many MCU fans worldwide are comic book readers? Like I don’t think there is a huge difference in terms of “recognisability” between GoTG and Eternals for the GA (before their respective movies were released). I think people know it’s MCU and they will give it a chance and watch it.

 

If Eternals had better reviews (I.e above 90% on RT), I think more GA will be curious and I think a better OW will be expected. The obscurity of these characters (for an origin film) at this stage isn’t really a factor IMO, at least for the MCU. 

 

Well I think Marvel made sure previous introductions to C-list characters were fun. Making a slow, dull movie with D-list characters is asking for trouble.

 

Also it's unfair to put the Eternals on the same tier as Ant-Man, Captain Marvel or Guardians.

 

Even the average Marvel fan couldn't name the Eternals by name.
