I might be in the minority, but I really like when wrestling looks sloppy and like it fucking hurts. Because it should. It should look like it hurts. And all of that looked like it was just pain after pain after pain. There are a couple spots, with the table and the steel steps that I recoiled at. deeply obsessed with grown men fighting over friendship bracelets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Marston Posted 10 hours ago Share Posted 10 hours ago Wakanda Forever did fine but it still generated a lot of interest from wanting to see how Chadwick Boseman's death would be handled, and its legs were pretty average considering it had 5 weeks of no competition. Black Panther 3 should do decently but will definitely decrease from WF. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlatnumRoyce Posted 10 hours ago Share Posted 10 hours ago 3 hours ago, eddyxx said: People on here talked about Wakanda Forever’s drop from BP like it was so huge. Well, after Marvels and Joker 2, it looks pretty damn good to open that big without the lead from the first film. Do people still say that? To my eyes at least a 50% drop in actual tickets sold looked bad in 2022 if you hadn't just accepted a significantly lower theater going baseline. Simply factoring that in would have undercut negative assessments of the film's opening. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XXRDJisDoctorDoom Posted 10 hours ago Share Posted 10 hours ago Catch me up if I'm missing anything but now we're at like $37M DOM OW + $65-70M OS OW? I assume legs will be terrible based on all of the reception metrics I've seen, so maybe something like $65-75M DOM + $120-140M OS? A number I truly could not have imagined 6 months ago.

wattage Posted 10 hours ago Share Posted 10 hours ago (edited) 17 minutes ago, Eric Quinn said: Excuse me, what? Oh this was a very real and very aggravating thing. It felt like it was the majority of the conversation I was seeing about the film online in my spaces unfortunately, the shipping and the just as heated "what the fuck is wrong with you people" responses. Something something, certain people incapable of connecting with or engaging with a narrative about black women without being able to self insert in some fashion. And general some people can't engage in anything without shipping no matter how nonsensical it is narratively.

Sure it's great if crews get paid but not so great when movies bomb then the studio lays off a bunch of other people. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AniNate Posted 9 hours ago Share Posted 9 hours ago Todd Phillips doesn't seem like a real great person but I do sympathize with the broader sentiments of that quote. I am pretty sick of how budgets drive movie discourse myself. That money doesn't just disappear, it is still funding some kind of business even if it drags Warner down.

Sure $453M is still VERY HIGH for a normal standalone MCU film, so third one dropping feels natural unless the quality vastly improves.
