grey ghost Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 1 hour ago, Brainbug the Dinosaur said: One thing that all this reminds me of is Spider-Man Homecomings 2nd weekend fall, which at -62,2% caused a ton of meltdowns here and many people doubted 300M heavily for it after the sophomore frame. But then, ofc, Homecoming stabilized nicely and got over 300M comfortably. Now, i dont want to make an exact comparison to Homecoming with MoM, since Spidey had very good WOM compared to the mixed one Strange receives. But it goes to show that even well-received movies can crash on the 2nd weekend. Therefore, when judging a movies legs, only looking at the 2nd weekend can be misleading sometimes. Like others have said, we sould really wait to see Strange's hold next weekend to see if it will be able to stabilize or not really. Ah yes, I remember fiercely defending Homecoming's second weekend drop. "They called me a madman". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't agree more. An unusually barren environment certainly helped that when everyone ran scared of Omicron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone told me going into the year that Maverick had potential to rack up a higher DOM gross than Batman, Strange and, I guess until we see how it does, Thor this year, I'd say they were nuts. I still think people are a bit bullish on it though. It's hard for me to imagine a higher ceiling than 350M DOM for Maverick but hope I'm wrong it somehow blows past 400M+ DOM.

WittyUsername Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 (edited) Homecoming managed to have strong late legs thanks to being a July release. As far as I’m aware, May releases generally don’t have that luxury. Regardless, people don’t need to freak out about it. Thor: Love and Thunder will probably play better.

All done taking the bait! I was merely suggesting you should ignore posts you don't like, especially when said "overreactions" aren't breaking any rules or harming anybody in any way. I'm not trying to give you a warning or ban, and that is never my intention with any posts I make to you or anybody here. A mod/admin here would never do something like that. This is a position that requires users to have extremely good standings on the forum and have immense respect for everybody. I'm sorry if I gave any misinterpretations, but I hope you understand I would never partake in this kind of behavior. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
