Is Angela Bassett as good as Twitter says? They are talking her up as worthy of being the first actor in a MCU movie to be nominated for an Oscar. Some trades are also talking Oscar buzz. She is a great actress so I'm not surprised but are they hyping her up or was she legit that good? 

Angela Bassett is always the best part of everything, so yes.

That always looks great in 3D lol. This was my first time seeing the Avatar trailer in IMAX3D.
 

Edit: took out a shady comment about Wakanda Forever feeling way longer than it actually was. 

I would hope so. It’s taken 13 years to release the movie and they have been working on it multiple years with likely a 300m+ budget.

I went to IMAX 3D last night and I can say that the visuals in the 2 minute Avatar trailer were more striking than anything in the following 2 hours and 41 minutes of Wakanda Forever. 

Are they playing the teaser or full trailer? My BPWF had both A2 teaser and full trailer attached, show that just how empty the market is right now.

The Superhero Tax

Here in Mexico is the Disney tax. It started way back in 2019 with Endgame

[Torontofan]

whats the firiday number 85 million? If so that is good 

 

Likely means 180-190 million weekend

[M37]

Smile in at $800K for Fri. Should be good for $2.5-$2.7M weekend (~35% drop) depending on how inflated Friday ends up being

She’s great, she’s always great. Love Angela Bassett. 

 

Somehow she also looks 38 in all the stills I've seen from the movie

Looks like the money is on the screen then.

Fabelmans' 15K PTA is below both Tar and Banshees' first Friday. Could change with actuals of course, but I would think Uni expected more with Spielberg's name and stuff. Maybe opening it the same weekend as Black Panther was a problem?

Yes she is. But she´s going to be overlooked because it´s a superhero movie. Also the category is stacked this year.

40+% is good noting last weekend's hold.

Opening weekend range is between $175M-$185M now, but some rivals believe that the Ryan Coolger directed movie could soar beyond $190M.
