I’m… not sure. I mean I didn’t even knew that there was a new The Hunger Games coming, but I wouldn’t count the YA crowd out. Lots of strong entries in 2023 I’d argue. Also I legit think that Super Mario Bros. might surprise people.

I can't see Ant-Man doing more than 600 mln, especially without China, 500-600 most likely. The same with The Marvels. Guardians 3 is probably not doing more than Thor 4 numbers, its trailer didn't perform well on social media. The Hunger Games will likely flop too, YA is dead and it doesn't have what original THG had to bring that crowd back. With Mario, I think it depends on its budget.

Because Avatar 2 already started its run and it would a bit ... unfair for me to make this club when we already have the OW numbers? I dunno, i would make that club in a heartbeat, but im not sure if it would be well-received here. Usually clubs are made (and closed) before we get the first numbers, i think

Usually, yes.  But the more “allowable” exceptions are when a film goes way outside the bounds of expectations, and people are scrambling to recalibrate. Like making a TGM over $700M club after those first weekday numbers (or an A2 under $500M one now)

Probably not for the North American total. So far it's tracking similar to Rogue One in the last 3 days. They had identical release dates, so it's a pretty fair comparison. If it continues tracking with Rogue One, it will finish around $510M in North America. Needs to grow some pretty incredible legs to reach Jurassic World's $652M total in North America.

Ant-Man is my least favorite MCU series. If this was any sequel, I wouldn’t be excited. But I do think this has potential and I think it might make more than $700m without China, and apparently China is back with Marvel Studios films now that they have changed their COVID policies. How things will be there during February is a different question, but I do think that Kang will play a major impact on excitement for Ant-Man and The Wasp and it’s box office.

 

Also I think that after the last 15 years, betting against Marvel Studios is a mistake. Marvels has incredible potential and Guardians is easily one of the most beloved MCU series and James Gunn is a beloved director for a lot of people. We will see.

The thing is Ant-Man was always like that dumb little brother that performed worse than everyone else in its family. If Thor 4 and Black Panther are doing just 740-800 mln, I don't see how Ant-Man can change its usual pattern and perform at least in their range. And I don't see any excitement about Kang yet, he's not Thanos.

[BadOlCatSylvester]

Whatever was shot of Avatar 4 will likely be included as bonus material for the inevitable trilogy boxset. Yes, I said trilogy, because frankly I no longer see this story continuing past the third film. What a shame.

Like I’ve said, let’s see. I usually would join people trashing Ant-Man. Not this time around.

The Dark Legacy of Nikki Finke

Finke presented herself as a no-bullshit reporter who kept Hollywood moguls honest, and we all found her copy completely irresistible. But she perverted the profession by blackmailing sources, often targeting the weak, and weaponizing the internet to push her bile—and her own agenda.

 

There's a reason Deadline moved on from this story so quickly.

Thanos was a non entity outside of comic fandom before Infinity War came out. He was teased of course but I mean I don't remember it being that big a deal to the GA. It was "oh yeah there's that big purple guy that we might see in an Avengers movie one day"

It was a big deal exactly because he had been teased so many times. Most of my circles weren't into comics, we were still incredibly hyped for IW because Thanos was built up for so long as this looming ultimate threat.

India has now surpassed Germany. It's currently the 4th biggest market for the movie.
