Almost all MCU movies with Thor in long hair were bad. 

Well short hair suits him more.

Catching up now on the argument from yesterday I missed while working all day

Let's not forget it wasn't just the quality holding back the 2007 blockbusters. All 3 released in May and cut into each other's grosses hard. All three were supposed to be enormous record breakers but ended up scheduled right after the other. That was a crazy summer, had transformers and OotP too

...sad, couln´t hold well this weekend, the dream of 700 M i think is gone...

I mean, it still pulled $15M in its seventh weekend. Its run is gonna start winding down at some point. Doesn't take away from the fact the movie has overperformed and beat even the highest expectations for it by such an insane margin.

The threequels disappoinment of 2007. Spider-Man 3, Shrek 3, Pirates 3. All of them were supposed to be huge 400M+ behemoths, but disappointed quality and box office wise. It allowed Transformers to do well as the fresh property in that summer.

And also, Transformers managed to outgross Pirates 3, DOM-wise.

 

TF1 = $319M

Pirates 3 = $309M

 

$10M apart from each other.

The 2007 blockbusters were about 100000000x better than those three movies, and I don't say that lightly considering one of them involves three hours of Johnny fucking Depp.

Haven't seen Pirates 3 or Shrek 3 in forever, but Spider-Man 3's lowkey GOATed and is way better in hindsight. The way it tackles Peter and Mary Jane's relationship and the conflicts that come with maintaining a romance is something you just never see, at least when it comes to blockbusters, and it really hits you.

Kinda surprised that out of all the biggest summer movies of 2007, Harry Potter: Order of the Phoenix was the only one not to hit $300M+ DOM, considering it only had Transformers as competition to go against in July 2007. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Interesting comparison since both those superhero movies are directed by Sam Raimi of course. 👩🏻‍💼

Tweet I had seen a while ago. 

 

 

In the above scene, Spider-Man is confused because he isn't sure if he is Tobey or not Tobey.

 

[Cmasterclay]

Everyone appreciates Spider Man 3 and Transformers now because of how ugly and formulaic every blockbuster is these days. We need some of that chaotic Bayhem energy back.

 

No bullshit I'd watch Revenge of the Fallen over Love and Thunder or Dominion again any day of the week. At least that has robot balls and an inexplicable scene where the Air and Space Museum has a mountain range airfield in the middle of Washington DC

143m means only 4.9x IM opening weekend! That is certainly within the range of a new low record. This proves that how much quality is holding back on JWD potential as a bigger grosser than what it is having now. 

[John Marston]

Well we’ve reached the point where people have nostalgia for every 2000s blockbuster it seems. I’ve seen people talk fondly about crap like the live action Scooby Doo movies and the Tim Story Fantastic Four movies

That is my favorite domestic geography issue in that movie. My favorite international one is that they cross the international border from Jordan to Egypt. 

 

The US military also literally invades Egypt in the movie.
