THE UNMARVELOUS WEEKEND THREAD | FEATURING MELTDOWNS, ARMCHAIR ANALYSIS, AND SEXISM

[Belakor]

I could see Zelda making good numbers, probably 1B if its good, Nintendo has a lot of potential, another franchises to follow are Warhammer and Borderlands.

You’re very good at this prediction game.

 

This movie seems to please women way more(going solely by RT critics ratio), so I wonder how they could’ve marketed it in a way to make more women come out for it. I wonder how many more women would’ve come after seeing the leads playing with puppies and kittens on YouTube.

 

Probably not many more, but it’s a pity that a movie that seems to be made by women and for women failed to attract them.

With the final day Flash comps dropping as expected, average settled at $6.61M officially

6.6M... how much did GotG3 and Wakanda Forever did? What if it follows those?

Also probably doesn’t help to set up all your heroes to be replaced by females for the male skewing franchise.

 

(Kate, Shuri, Love, Iron Heart, Cassie, etc).

OH-OH!

Quick, type a retraction.

Flash was 9.7m, and it didn't have a holiday on its Fri. Yeah, it's going to get really ugly this weekend, folks. 😔

Doom & gloom weekend ahead? See you then in a couple of days

The issue is they decided to go live-action with Shawn Levy for some reason.

I think Zelda has huge potential, but I don't know about this choice... I think a stylistic animated movie would be better. But hoping for a nice surprise.

BPWF is too big to compare, GOTG3 had a 6.77x (so $44.7M), but also Eternals had a 7.50x with a similar Nov release date.

 

Seems like mid-$40s to me, maybe high-$40s if we get a good TFri, but pretty much where BOT tracking had had it for a while now

Wes Ball is the director, not Shawn Levy.

 

People say video game films are the future but there has been just as many failures like Warcraft and 2018 Tomb Raider.

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

 

Damn, I'm getting good at tea leaves stuff..."hovers around $6M" seems to be $6M +/-...and now Shawn ruins it for me with Disney's reported $6.6M...

Warcraft has made more money then the last 3 superhero movies.

Wakanda Forever would be 42M

Ant Man 3 would be 38M

Guardians 3 would be 44M

Want to congratuate our tireless trackers on bang on job! 

 

As for Gen Z and Alpha, they will find their own heroes, not these hand-me-downs from Millenials. That's what studios don't get. Replacing old faves with younger versions is not going to appeal to next generation cause next generation needs its own heroes. And new versions of previous generation heroes are not their heroes.

Eternals was 6pm previews start. Need to dock just a bit due to that differential.

Has anybody actually seen the film or is it just me? 

I'm baffled that they actually decided to release this.
