"Peak MCU"

 

Multiverse of Madness doing only 955 isn't peak MCU, it's Peak DCEU. Last time a movie which opened over 160 million and missed 1 Billion was Batman vs Superman, and that's the club Dr Strange has joined.

 

I don't think people are concerned about MCU being in downward trends currently, box office underperformance of current movies is concern but bigger thing is that eventually if they continue like this then they WILL go down.

 

 

Add China and Russia and Dr Strange 2 gets way over 1 billion.

But remember that's without China and Russia, and maybe more markets..I'm not sure.

 

With all those you can add at least another $175M to the worldwide gross which would be over $1.1B. Maybe that's still a little soft for what was supposed to be a major Marvel event but you get the drift.

 

EDIT: Clearly this was already addressed.

Someone is doing some classic concern trolling.

 

But it was funny.

MoM wasn't released in these places in the opening weekend too.

 

It did 450 million opening weekend, that's not an excuse, 1 Billion was there for the taking easily, just the movie wasn't good at all.

 

Infact weekend itself would've been close to 500 million if movie was good, with Domestic itself going over 200.

Fair point. I definitely won't argue that it didn't underachieve and leave money on the table. There's been no shortage of discussion on how the MCU is dropping the ball a bit in Phase 4. For me though I see that more in the domestic legs and OW multi than in the worldwide total, which is the definition of "fine" to me.

Want to see other sats to get a sense of this being a strong marvel sat vs a weak vet effect — various holidays have sometimes been muted post-pandemic.

I'm not nearly the expert many here are so this is just my opinion, but I chalk it up to Vets Day not having the impact people think. It isn't really a holiday.

I think if this had opened during Black History month the opening would've been closer to 200m but legs would be shorter.

[GOGODanca]

Curious to see what the attendance for the weekend is, could be looking at 25% drop from the first one

You do wonder how much that helped the first one.

955 million for Dr Strange 2 is more than fine.

 

955 million for "DR STRANGE IN THE MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS" after WV, NWH is disappointing.

OS markets definitely seem to be waiting for the MCU to blow them away, whereas the domestic market is a little more forgiving still. 

 

Look how they showed up for Top Gun: Maverick, a film I figured the rest of the world wouldn't care about.

955M for MOM wasn't bad or disappointing but the fact it could have done like 20% more is disappointing.

 

That said TB is ofc an idiot 😛 but he is right about poor state of MCU phase 4.

Concern for MCU is that Dr Strange was the prime candidate to do so.

 

It could've been your Phase defining movie before KD & SW.

Dude you were thinking about 230 OW for Dr Strange, 200 for Thor 4 and 240 for BP2.

 

 

[WorkingonaName]

Phase 4 is the MCUs Witness era.

[Verrows]

Why can't people have opinions lol? If someone thinks that $955M is a disappointment for MoM then let them think that.

[charlie Jatinder]

I will go with 56.5

[JustLurking]

MoM number is fine in isolation but when you take into account that its PS was pointing towards 200M+ opening until poor reviews and WOM hit and the poor legs, yeah it's disappointing because it could've been a billy grosser easily. Something can do well and still be disappointing because it could have done better.
