Dear lord, so much personal opinion stated as fact...

Posted by: numbersix_99 on Apr 03, 08:14 in response to VictorY's post My link inside (for 450 million call). As I've stated:...

You say fans aren't happy with CM. Where's your evidence for that? The A cinemascore shows that audiences who watched the film loved it. 

 

You claim Disney expected $450m and then link to the unaffiliated Box Office Pro estimate, which they get wrong all the time. 

 

You consistently ignore the $1b this film is going to earn off its $150m budget. 

 

You try to make it sound like not reaching $400m is a failure. You compare it negatively to other first outings for Marvel character, when in fact Black Panther is the only first Marvel character film to beat it. So by that logic, every MCU film that doesn't hit $700 is a failure.

 

You try to use its IM as a failure, failing to realise how the MCU's recognition has changed over time. 

 

You compare it to a 2007 sequel despite it already outperforming it on every level (including the inaccurate audience scores in IMDB and RT), because it "feels" similar. 

 

It's time to admit your bias or that you're a troll, and stop hiding behind the "fans" when there's no evidence to prove this beyond some backwater minority who resents this film making over a billion dollars. 

Lets pretend Captain Marvel doesnt get to $400m & does $395m How will its total mutliple stack up to other MCU films that opened over $150m Moviesnob Apr 02, 22:58

Am I mistaken in thinking the poster in denial, is associated with the site that published a bullish 160m OW / 440 close forecast on 2/15? Qix Apr 03, 01:09

AFAIK he's not associated with that site, and he's been negging CMARV since before it was released so I doubt he made any bullish prediction {nm} RogerMore Apr 03, 06:05

I just want to see a supercut of Captain Marvel getting the kill shot in all 20 films ;) {nm} RattyBatty Apr 03, 06:26

•21? 22 with Endgame? {nm} RattyBatty Apr 03, 06:52

Well said! {nm} numbersix_99 Apr 03, 03:25

My link inside (for 450 million call). As I've stated: CM's problems is that it feels a lot like SM3. Full take inside: VictorY Apr 03, 06:25

SM3 had a budget of 258m, at the time an industry record. CM cost 100m LESS & will gross around 200m MORE. Your comparison is DoA. {nm} HurricaneKid Apr 03, 06:30

SM3 made money also, and still changes were made. {nm} VictorY Apr 03, 06:42

So a 300m swing in profits has 0% value to you? A trilogy ender from 12 years ago has bearing on a film today that cost less/earned more? HurricaneKid Apr 03, 06:52

If you click all the way, the ultimate source is BoxOffice's Forecast and their speculative guess of 168 / 468. {nm} Antibody Apr 03, 07:31

That's not Disney! {nm} Moviesnob Apr 03, 07:34

There is nothing here to support your claim that Disney expected $450m {nm} numbersix_99 Apr 03, 07:59

And that’s before considering CM’s reduced budget. HurricaneKid Apr 03, 06:26

It's the 'If enough people tell a lie enough times the weak-minded will eventually believe it' theory. {nm} csbd Apr 03, 06:37

Still highly profitable IIRC. Likely get at least a trilogy {nm} budice Apr 03, 07:45

The lack of summer holidays/kids out of school obviously plays a huge role on its legs. Black Panther is a very rare breed (har har). {nm} MiyazakiFan Apr 03, 11:25
