Then at least a 20% drop in the third weekend. Avatar getting worse drops than Rogue One isn't expected nor likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first BP was a phenomenon, and it's really rare for sequels to match massive originals. Avatar 2 better watch out. A fall is very likely. So Captain America: New World Order is a spinoff of the Captain America movies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean… yeah, pretty much? Going to be counted as a separate subfranchise by most people I assume, so NWO as a “first entry” rather than a sequel to CW. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooper Legion Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Anyway that was a completely normal mon and tues from BP. It’s still headed for like 460-490, which is great legs from its d2-d8 period (removing holiday inflation). This thread is on crack. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's see how it does this weekend. If the weekend is closer to $20 m than, say, $25 or even upper 20's, then it will end up in my range. If we get surprised by the weekend numbers and see a less than 50% drop, then maybe $460-$470 million. I can't see it making more than $470 m under any circumstance, and even that is pushing it.

People tend to look at As and any score in a vacuum. It's important to know who gives the score. If it's mostly one demo (see Woman King's A+ and 99% Audience Score lol) than there is a real possibility that the movie won't cross over and therefore won't do as well as the score alone suggest. Which is exactly what happened with WK. It exhausted the demo but didn't attract audience outside of it so legs were average. WF didn't even get A+ so you bet it wasn't going to leg it up like the first one. Edited December 1, 2022 by Valonqar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WF didn't even get A+ so you bet it wasn't going to leg it up like the first one. Faith-based movies get A/A+ Cinemascores all the time, for example. Wakanda Forever is long and the story is more of a downer compared to the first Black Panther: less people will watch on weeknights. The nature of WF means less repeat viewers to begin with, and it'll be on Disney+ soon enough, so the holds are fine vs great like with BP1. Then, throw in the loss of the people who won't see it at all because there's no Chadwick, or they can't take a "sad" movie after Covid, plus everyone who only went to BP1 because it was an "event" but they're not invested in the MCU. If Black Panther had the perfect storm for an epic box office run, it's the opposite for Wakanda Forever, so the numbers are back down to earth. WF is kind of behaving like those 80s sequels where it was normal for followup movies to make dramatically less than the first one.

This is a pretty useless frame — may mcu have partial summer and Canadian holiday 3rd mon, July mcu have full summer, Nov mcu have thanksgiving week 3rd mon. MCU post thanksgiving wknd/post thanksgiving mon is generally 9-9.5x, with Rag pulling a beastly 11x — however that was presaged by the Wed/mon increase so in this case we are shooting for more like 8-8.5x unless Fri jump over indexes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just checked, and the Ragnarok 3rd Monday to 4th Weekend multiplier was 7x. I was talking about the 3rd monday to 4th weekend multiplier here, not the post-Thanksgiving multiplier. Edit: BOP projection is very good though- 10.4x of 3rd monday Edited December 2, 2022 by Factcheck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
