We're all a little dumber after reading how Deadline, THR, V, and BOXO botch the weekend box office time after time after....

There is a possible reason for this week's estimation. There are so many factors that go into box office projection and prediction.

Hint, "the whatever reason" it's RT review, critics and audience explain, it's bad, boring, repetitive, confusing, and

Nope. The villian killmonger is a SJW from Commifornia, besides its a Marvel movie, not wise to bet against that.

During Panther's OW, you stated the "high water" delist mark was $440 & followed-up by saying you missed adjust (implying no legs to come).

You're quoting your own 2/14 adjust miscalculation, which you quickly corrected to $398m, before predicting a max $440m delist on 2/17.

Yeah that was on 2/19 but by 2/22 I said it would. Thought it'd be frontloaded like most other superhero movies. So what?

Do you deny any points made in the video?? It's spot on. Wakanda is walled off, anti-immigrant-anti globalist, anti-refugee

A movie made for kids is not entertaining to adults - Why is that surprising anyone?
