Also, those genres fell out of popularity because there was a sharp drop in quality across the board. Whereas the SH genre is just beginning to branch out atm Quote I say this was the the big one. hard to top Wait for DC to hit its stride, X-Men to take over the MCU and all the Spideys swinging in full force! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least one of Ant-Man 2 or Aquaman won't make it (AM2 very unlikely at this point). Still an amazing year considering the top 2. We have to be near Peak Superhero?

charlie Jatinder Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Superhero genre was kind of flat in last few years. But AntMan and The Wasp did well compared to rest of the world and Venom and now Aquaman. So has the market lifted or it's just coincidence.

Still an amazing year considering the top 2. What if Into The Spider-Verse sneaks into the Top 10? Even if both AQM and MPR pass 700M, the No. 10 film only has to finish in the higher 600's. A longshot for Miles and Ralph/Grinch final totals are to be seen, but with these raves and award nominations (and wins) for Spider-Verse, who knows? Quote We have to be near Peak Superhero? I mean, it can't much better(/worse) than this. But... you haven't even seen DC, X-Men and Spider-Man fully in their prime yet! + more fun characters like Shang Chi, Kamala Khan/Ms. Marvel, an above average take on Doctor Doom and Fantastic Four etc. still to come. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
efialtes76 Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 51m in presales at 2am(+45.7%) 250m Saturday in play... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeeSoh Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Amazing OD by Aquaman. And Saturday is looking even better. Sat PS up almost 45% which is miles better than what Venom had (which I think was up about 10% or so). With the ratings being this good, the drops are going to be very good. Its gonna blow past initial OW estimates of 65m. It’s probably gonna end up in the 85m OW range which would mean it has the best PS to OW multi of any SH movie (atleast those that i track, which is basically the last 2-3 years). This is gonna go past 200m easily at this rate. Although catching Venom will be an uphill task This is incredible. First Venom and now this. I wonder what is the reason for this sudden uptick in grosses for SH movies. I mean till before Venom almost all solo SH movies ended up in the range of 90-120m final gross no matter how well received. But now these two movies are gonna break that trend and break them hard. I know one explaination for this is that the market was/is starved of big hollywood tentpoles and both Venom and Aquaman will benefit from it. But is that the only reason? 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did Wonder Woman too but that ended as one of the lower grossing SH movies. But if they really are the difference makerr then it bodes well for Bumblebee/Terminator/Top Gun coz they are promoting those too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
