And if managed a continuous storyline after endgame even doods like eternals would have been just a footnote of the MCU. But they didnt manage the create a narrative storyline and the individual projects also didnt live up to the hype except no way hope. And nowadays no way homelooks like an outliner that it seems more like a spider-man movie or even a sony movie more than a MCU movie. The marvel movies, the good ones and the bad ones, lived from their MCU connections, but that doesnt seem to exist anymore (atleast in phase 4) and some camoes are not enough to cover it. I honestly dont think the outlook of the next phase would be much better if phase 4 would have been better received. The discussion about MCU flopping is a important one, not because Ant-Man will flop, relative of its budget, but because a comeback is extremely hard after it reached this stage. The performace of the last marvel movies in South Korea is a perfect example for that. The pre-Endgame era,even Marvel sometimes making bad film,like Thor II,but ther making the good film after making the bad film,like they do trush like Thor II but making CA II and GOTG at same time,under this situation we can see “Marvel make trash film” as the accident,like James Cameron make The Abyss——Nothing is perfect,everyone could lost sometimes ,we can just accept that But now?Marvel doing bad film again and again and again,from Thor IV to MOM,Black Widow to Antman III,most of Phase IV movie is piece of shit,under this situation this is definitely not “the accident”,this is must be some kind of “System error”,you understand what I mean? Current MCU have really big problem,if they didn’t rethink their problem,MCU will be the next Transformer.

But I agree about the other movies spefically Love and Thunder and Ant-Man and The Wasp Quantumania 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
froztking Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 the issue is sub par movie after movie ! doc strange mom > moonknight > thor l&t > ms marvel > she hulk and now this ! even wakanda forever was above average as a movie !marvel is stuck between what fans want , what disney wants and what they can actually do ! ant man should have been in post production for ateast over a year to do justice to bring quantum realm into life but they spent just months and mad vfx artists overwork ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is China Ping Pong which opens tomorrow as well, was originally CNY release but moved to 17th Feb - heard WoM is good.. even though presales is behind AM3. Then next week there is "A guilty conscience" - highest grossing HK movie in HK (opened during CNY in HK), extremely strong WoM but only opens in China next week. Then every week in March there is a big release. lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keysersoze123 Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 So what are we looking for OS OW. 120M? or even lower. This is with China as well. Is this enough for even 300m OS? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exomassey Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 (edited) Not surprised. With the poor China, South Korea and others box office numbers, not surprised this won’t reach 300m. Those big Marvel markets aren’t really showing up like they used too. Edited February 17, 2023 by exomassey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thajdikt Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 I had a feeling of this even before we got the bad WOM and reviews. SK and China carried hard for OS for Ant-Man 2. Fact is that franchise in other markets have had ok grosses but compared to other MCU flicks bad. Now Marvel don´t have those markets anymore and no other markets can help like they can with other MCU movies. 250M at best. Flop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
