It can be great and still disappointing. Think 299 for Endgame.

If Endgame made 299 that would've still been mindblowing lol.

Impossible since Puerto Rico existed back in 2019.

 

Also, 299 would have been rightly seen as a mindblowlingly amazing number. I totally get what you mean but i think most would disagree that some arbitrary milestone like 300M or 200M is a bar for success. The difference between 195M and 200M is just 5M and it doesnt make a huge difference except in optics.

To expand on this a little —  

 

yes, obviously 190 is a big weekend. 11th biggest ever (nominal). Biggest 2022, 2nd biggest post-pandemic, would be 3rd biggest of 2019 (again, nominal). The movie has some crossover-y elements, but it is also a sequel to an 85M opener 232M grosser, seeing a BIG ole boost.   
 

On the other hand, that was all clear like a month ago. 190 would be coming in pretty much at the lowest quintile of plausible outcomes any time from the past 15 days or so. I think it’s pretty self evident why there is something to be disappointed in.   
 

Learn to keep multiple perspectives in mind at once.

This is an over 100 million OW increase from a previously 85 million film. Yes Doctor Strange showed up in Avengers movies but that didn't make Thor: The Dark World or Captain America: The Winter Soldier suddenly increase by that much. All this movie banked on was Wanda and the potential for some cameos. That's incredibly impressive no matter what.

I don't know why people feel the need to argue on this subject tbh. Everyone has their own bars, some have higher expectations than others and not everyone will feel the same way on a particular OW. For me the OW, while obviously very big, is kinda disappointing because I think potential was higher with better reviews and reception.

190M OW? Ok, this is a bomb now what the fuck went wrong.

 

It will do like 70M 2nd weekend ffs.

 

 

[Cooper Legion]

If you don’t like the 300M psychological barrier pretend I said 286 or whatever. Same thing 😛 

[WorkingonaName]

The real disappointment will be its legs. 

[fabiopazzo2]

So my prediction for Thor Love and Thunder over DS is not impossible now  

[YM!]

Hmm so if MoM is the AOU of this year, does that make Dominion the JW 🤔?

 

[Gavin Feng]

$190M is underperformance? Come on, Justin Lin would stay on F10 if they believe their movie have that number for lifetime. WB will announce a sequel if FB3 is close to that level.

If only DS2 was released in all markets perhaps it could take the highest grossing disappointment throne, but instead I fear Ultron is fated to keep it for all time

YES

[Alex SciChannel]

My question is will MoM be able to beat the Lion King 2019 (191.8M) OW? Or will we have 3 films in the 190-200M range and all of them fall in 191M?

To elaborate, like in 2015, a JW movie will be followed the following weekend with a Pixar movie.

 

Dominion and Lightyear could repeat the epic run JW and IO enjoyed together.

[Darth Lehnsherr]

I always had Thor > Dr Strange and only have been thought to change my mind with the presales maybe suggesting up to 38-40s for previews up til a couple of days ago.

Yeah i dont see any movie stripping that title away from Age Roughly 1 Week of Ultron.

 

Seen as the biggest movie WW and probably DOM of 2015.

 

First, beaten by FF7 internationally and worldwide.

Second, beaten by Jurassic World DOM, internationally and WW.

Third, beaten by TFA DOM, internationally and worlwide.
