It's a classic case of getting two big headlines. You have the first headline where the movie opened to a really strong number, with the press adulating your movie and keeping you in the conversation. Then when the actuals go even higher, you get even more headlines, people going crazy, and you can go to the press and show how it did "better than expected" and that it's a real, true winner. A very effective marketing strategy

Why tho? All eyes are on Sunday. I feel like most people skip over Monday actuals.

This weekend is the latest example of Marvel’s extremely impressive ability to draw a strong audience to theaters. Pretty mindblowing for Dr. Strange to have this large of an opening. 

"Continuity".

It's a bit of a travesty that DS2 has a lower score than Captain Marvel.

Not saying I didn't like Captain Marvel but there's no way it was the better movie.

Although, the first Captain America movie is criminally underrated so I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

 

 

This post took me on a journey.

I can’t imagine why they would have hated it? Might not have been their favourite, but it was comfortably as good as at least half of the movies. If they went in expecting Endgame then that’s on them. 
 

I did think going in that the ‘scary’ talk might mean a no go for kids in subsequent weeks. It’s nowhere near that bad.  There’s just as disturbing stuff in Raimi’s Spidey films. 

Lol none of the Spider-man films have anything as scary as Doctor Strange 2 does.

What is taking so long for these actual numbers to show up?

That's typical of Sunday estimates though, especially from Disney, not usually Friday. Only a small number of weirdos (glances around...) care about the Friday estimates when they first come out. There's really no harm in underselling here, but makes me wonder if they aren't holding back now so there's more room to "maneuver" actuals if the OW does end up right near that $200M cut line

Again, two days of headlines. And a minor difference in numbers won’t make people magically think the movie is an epic failure or whatever 

[OncomingStorm93]

Captain Marvel, Black Widow, and Eternals all wish they had as unique and complete a directorial vision as Multiverse of Madness did with Sam Raimi. Eternals got the closest to a unique vision, but the execution was lacking.

What numbers haven't shown up?

[ImNotRacistAtAll]

What really botched the movie was the script. What an awful script. 

Add to that the fact that Raimi style is REALLY not for everyone. 

 

Waldron needs to go. Or, honestly, the Multiverse needs to go. And Waldron to.

The official Box office report of all Friday grosses.

The top 7 are available at least. There's usually not a big rush on the lower grossers.

What customers see: supply demand imbalance creating a mad scramble and shortages

What producers see: supply demand imbalance creating $2000 tickets

Small PTA drop from last Friday for Everything Everywhere. So happy with its run.

 

I think Multiverse of Madness is an easier watch the 2nd time around but I still have problems with it. Unfortunately I think I'd place it on the lower tier of my MCU ranking. It's just bizarre because with a better script this really could've been top tier.

It certainly feels like a script that was hashed out by the replacement writer (who was simultaneously show-running a massive D+ production) and the replacement director who both came on board like 3 months before filming was supposed to start.

People act as if next movies are all about multiverse, outside maybe and JUST maybe Ant-man, none of the next movies 6 movies are about multiverses, or even the series outside Loki 2.

Like it or not, the Multiverse is here to stay in the MCU (and DC as well).
