If it weren't for the reviews, Eternals would have crossed $100m easily. The underwhelming reviews spread like wildfire with so many publications worldwide using clickbait-y headlines that it was the worst reviewed MCU film.

 

Shame, but in this day and age, I understand why studios would not want to release films a week  or two early. If the gamble does not pay off, it shows up in the numbers.

 

exactly this. If you make an ambitious, polarising film in a franchise that usually sticks to formula - well you’re just asking for trouble. The clickbait culture will destroy it even before people get to see the movie.

Forget it, TwoMisfits, it’s the MCU.

I’d take a sequel to Eternals over another Shang Chi every day of the week. And I liked both movies.

The mcu has never had a film before where they had the rights to easily make a sequel but it wasn’t an outright financial success, so to some extent both “sides” are talking out of their ass a bit. But if you try to analyze an mcu entry as though it was a standalone first movie… well, I think you’ll end up baking in some assumptions that are way off base.

Even with 70m opening, there is still some chance for Eternals to at least topping BW, especially with Thanksgiving weekend and weaker competition in this Nov. I hope for 200m actually, we can't just live with 3 movies coming above 200m. 

 

SC is so close to 3x multiplier where it needs 226.2m to do the trick, a bit surprised that Disney isn't doing double feature this week.

It's at least going to be around until Spider-Man (+ the avalanche of movies opening the week after) comes out given how few wide releases there are coming out until then. We'll just have to see what the drop next weekend looks like first.

A well known market for a box office bonanza for sure.

I noticed its out on disc here in the UK in December too, can only imagine how many millions it’ll make on disc and digital here. Probably more than most other theatrical runs this year.

I expect Eternals 2, but with some other MCU big heavyweights thrown in. Someone like the Guardians or Thor.

 

They can call it :   THE Eternals directed by James Gunn.

[filmlover]

Spencer's numbers are acceptable enough all things considered, Jackie didn't even make $15M total in a non-pandemic environment and this looked similarly clinical. 

 

Halloween dropping nearly 3/4 is expected since its namesake holiday is now in the past.
