[Cap]

WELCOME TO THE MARVELS WEEKEND THREAD!

 

I'm going to keep this short and sweet:

 

 

 

[ZeeSoh]

Thread is now unlocked. Any attempts at trolling and baiting or fanwars will get warnings and thread bans. So play nice

 

 

Absolutely no spoilers, no matter how vague, even under spoiler tags. And this applies to spoilers of recent shows as well, namely Loki S2.

From Deadline:

 

Critical reviews on Rotten Tomatoes are at 61% fresh, but the RT audience score is higher at 85% — which is promising, however, the die-hards always come out on Thursday night. Thursday night PostTrak exits from ComScore/Screen Engine were severe for general audiences at 3.5 stars, but 4 1/2 stars from parents and 5 stars from kids under 12. That said, kids and parents combined only repped 9% of last night’s audience. The Marvels skewed guys at 63% with men over 25 the biggest turnout at 45% and women over 25 at 24%. That latter demo gave the best recommendation grades of any demo at 61%.

To piggyback off of @Krissykins Deadline reported that sources have the preview number at $6.5M same as @charlie Jatinder

[Issac Newton]

 

EXCLUSIVE: Marvel Studios‘ sequel, The Marvels, has clocked around $6.5M in Thursday night previews we hear from sources. Disney will be reporting their official figure this morning and we’ll update you then. Previews began at 3PM.

The fear out there by many is that this $200M budgeted sequel to 2019’s Captain Marvel –which stands as the highest grossing female superhero movie of all-time–could clock the lowest start ever stateside for a Marvel Studios movie; lower than The Incredible Hulk (which was a Universal release before Disney absorbed the MCU) which had a $55.4M start. While tracking took its projections down from $80M to $60M for The Marvels, there is a concern out there that The Marvels could see a $40M+ start

If the best demo is 61% recommend and overall is 3.5 stars, that's not a great start to word of mouth for sure.

Im sorry Jared.

That postrak damn .

[keysersoze123]

Its clear at this point this is not going to have a good WOM. we have seen reports from across the world. Its probably missing 100m considering its 2nd week loss of Imax/PLF. WW its likely to finish below The Flash. 

[Bob Train]

So it begins...

[Ezen Baklattan]

Looking back at the same day structure from 2017, it looks like Thursday was a bit inflated (Ragnarok jumped 14% that day from its opening week) and continued well into Friday, but the jump on Saturday was quite muted.

 

Still, with enough consistency targeting $6.5m previews, I think mid to high 40s is still possible?

Wtf, Guys at 63%? So the movie with three female leads ended up being even more male heavy than standard mcu fare? That's quite a disaster. Also the fact that the best demo only gave the movie a 61% score seems pretty bad. I can't see this getting better than a B+ cinemascore.

[John Marston]

This is going to be the biggest box office disaster of all time. We are witnessing history 

[Reed121]

Wakanda Forever made 28m the same time last year. Captain Marvel made 21m 4 years ago. How do you go from those numbers to 6.5m.

Valonqar was right.
