JohnnyGossamer Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 23 minutes ago, honeycookiez said: At this point, pretty sure the overhyped, uncertain rumors about a truckload of cameos really hurt this film. The fact that the "Superior iron man who would be played by Tom Cruise" rumor got trending on Twitter for a while when the trailer got released was just ridiculous and out of nowhere. Nevertheless, I still think DS2 has a great jump if you compare it to DS1, thanks to how Marvel has kept shoehorning Strange in almost every MCU film since 2016, which makes him become familiar to the general audience. I have already mentioned this in the DS2 thread but Doctor Strange himself is a lackluster character, before DS2, in the eyes of a lot of young MCU fans he's just a grumpy, unfriendly uncle. Here on Reddit people are even discussing why Wong becomes so popular lately https://www.reddit.com/r/marvelstudios/comments/uoat00/why_is_wong_so_popular/ (In short, the conclusion, is Wong had a down-to-earth personality that made young people feel comfortable with, while Strange had a gigantic ego.) On Twitter, people are more engaging with Theron's declaration post that she just joined MCU through a small cameo in DS2 (the post gained nearly 420k likes, which is very impressive). It's a sad but undeniable fact that they are more interested to see other side characters in Strange's film but not Strange himself. Perhaps this might change in the future with how Strange's character arc and character traits have panned out in this film. I think he works best in a supporting role too. He's a good character but maybe should be used more like Ruffalo's Hulk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WrathOfHan Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Lost City should easily make it past 100M without a fudge. If it doesn't get there next weekend, Top Gun doubles will (unless Paramount wants more money for Sonic in an attempt at 200M). Pretty great late legs considering the iffy first couple drops and being on Paramount+ now. Goalposts for EEAAO should now be 60M.

SliverS Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 47 minutes ago, charlie Jatinder said: It is still an easy billion even if it don't reach billie due to external factors. Even with $380M in USA & how much it do in current markets i.e. $570-590M. It is missing $20M in Middle East, $30M in Russia & $5M in Ukraine. Also due to Russia war, exchange rates are worst in long time, making it lose another $40M or so. Even without involving China the real value is $1050-1075M. China would likely be around $300M if it was released. Hence easy billion. Eh only EndGame and infinity war cross more than $300m in China.Half of cinema have been closed due to covid.even if ds2 get an release in China,$50m-60m is more realistic. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

June 3 will probably make or break 400M since Watcher is the only wide release and Top Gun will be the JW sellout alternative by that point. I think it'll reach that mark barring ugly drops the next two weeks. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exomassey Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 One thing I’m tired of is the The Batman comparisons. Batman was a better received film overall of course it was going to have better legs. Doctor Strange is a disappointment, what were we expecting here? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grebacio Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 1 hour ago, Eric Strange said: IMO, Disney+ is the biggest drawback for Lightyear above all else. Even if the pandemic never happened and every Pixar movie came out in theaters, I feel that a lot of families now treat Disney's animated movies as something to wait on. Why pay money for it now when it'll be on Disney+ for free in a month and a half? Maybe even less than that. It's not like the MCU where you have to see it before you're spoiled. Encanto barely made a dent in theaters, yet exploded on streaming a month later. That's a sign. Still, Lightyear should still do like 250M, which at least will put it ahead of most of the future Disney animated projects. The thing with Lightyear is that I think it will attrack an older audience more than a regular Disney animation thanks to nostalgia. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think it matters what Top Critics say for "certified fresh" I think the problem was that the % on there is rounded and when it was 75 it was actually 74 point something. So it wasn't actually 75 which is why they took it away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huh? Does top critic score have anything to do with certification? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maggie Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 (edited) I don't think it will reach 400M. And 1B is in danger, let's see how it performed OS this week Edited May 14, 2022 by Maggie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brainbug Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 (edited) 1 Billion is still more likely than not imo, but its a little bit more uncertain for Doctor Strange 2 now. It might become the first ever CBM in the 900 Millions if its later legs arent that good. Edited May 14, 2022 by Brainbug the Dinosaur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
