This board: The MCU is dying and needs Sony to save it

 

The latter narrative is ridiculous, but the former one couldn’t be the proof that MCU don’t have potential threats. Star Wars had the highest OWs of all time after TFA and TLJ. But they still fell into a helpless situation in cinematic aspect. MCU definitely could go the same without correct runs and operations

Super Pets and Paws of Fury both look like such disposable garbage. I mean so is Minions, but Minions appeals to people.

Can't make something out of nothing.

This Minions drop is what happens when teens are your biggest audience on OW

Wut lol. Ant-Man has never been a fan favorite

But it’s Paul Rudd. If they get the tone right - as it appears they didn’t with Love & Thunder - then it’ll do fine. But after a couple of “misses” in a row, people are probably going to be increasingly hesitant to jump on tickets, but instead wait for reviews

Yeah Marvel needs Spiderman to make the next Avengers movie a hit

 

No one wants to see Shang-chi and one of the Eternals mix it up for two hours

Hopefully mods won't say my comp here a bad one but remember BvS went $165M OW or thereabouts and got to nearly $900M and Warner Bros. threw a tantrum.  

 

Huge OW or even decent total don't mean everyone go home happy..

Live by the casual, walk-up crowd, die by it too

Lightyear's performance is kind of astonishing. It's utterly toxic.

Bring back Russos and Markus/McFeely. 

 

Scrap Cap 4 and Thunderbolts

 

Get Deadpool 3 out ASAP

[WrathOfHan]

@EmpireCity @charlie Jatinder How is Elvis looking?

wait what's wrong with those movies?

And they'll probably have to pay out the nose to get the old directors back.

You mean X-Men and FF/Doom.  

[Blaze Heatnix]

I think Deadpool movies, Fantastic Four and X-Men should be the new face of MCU from now on...

$3.2m

[XXR & Friends]

I was already disappointed with the movie (it's fine but it was my #1 most anticipated of the year so I wanted greatness) so I might as well be disappointed with the box office.

 

69-39-30 for 138 is a failure in my eyes. That won't even match Ragnarok in tickets sold. Summer legs might be able to carry it to a $350M finish, but that's little solace as that would also be worse than Ragnarok in actual ticket sales. Blah.

Can’t see a huge jump for Antman 3. An Man 2 was mediocre and only people who watched Loki know who Kang is

where's this coming from?

And x-men doesn't make sense in the MCU. Why would people hate mutants but be OK with Avengers.
