US-Bookies, betting odds are currently pointing toward DoctorStrange2 as the top grossing film WW for 2022 after the 2nd trailer debut. notfabio Feb 14, 11:06

33% for AVATAR 2 {nm} notfabio Feb 14, 11:07

This is pretty dumb when you compare the gross of the first Dr. Strange vs. the first Black Panther. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Feb 14, 11:13

You could put your money down on BPNT2 at 6 to 1. {nm} Antibody Feb 14, 11:16

Release in China (or not) could be a partial factor but more for Dr. Strange. Dr. Strange did better than Black Panther in China notfabio Feb 14, 11:28

Loss of Chadwick Boseman will hurt it domestically, especially with those who felt they should have recast T’Challa. {nm} Jay_Beezy Feb 14, 11:32

Recasting T’Challa would hurt more from those who feel Bozeman is irreplaceable. {nm} Antibody Feb 14, 11:36

You severely underestimate how many people would have preferred T’Challa recast. Jay_Beezy Feb 14, 11:38

I don't believe they are the majority. More people don't want T'Challa recast. {nm} Antibody Feb 14, 11:42

On what basis do you not feel they are the majority? Jay_Beezy Feb 14, 11:48

I could ask you the same. His brother is one perossn. {nm} Antibody Feb 14, 12:00

He’s one person who knew him better than we did so his sentiment counts more than ours. Jay_Beezy Feb 14, 12:07

Unfortunately, most moviegoers haven't heard from his brother but have heard from Feige, Coogler, and the cast. {nm} Antibody Feb 14, 12:24

Kevin Feige and the cast have a stronger voice than his brother. {nm} Antibody Feb 14, 12:02

Kevin Feige and the cast are doing what *they* wanted, not necessarily what Chadwick would have wanted. Jay_Beezy Feb 14, 12:15

Since Chadwick didn't record his wishes, moviegoers will respect the decision of Feige, Coogler and the cast. {nm} Antibody Feb 14, 12:27

We shall see. {nm} Jay_Beezy Feb 14, 12:30

But they’re creating a lot of skepticism by prioritizing what *they* want when it possibly goes against what Chadwick would have wanted. {nm} Jay_Beezy Feb 14, 13:21

AVATAR 2 will make a billion in Asia alone Rishoutfield Feb 14, 14:13

Smart money is AVAT2, unless it gets delayed. Antibody Feb 14, 11:33

I dunno about Avatar anymore... the backlash has just built as social media has boomed since the first movie's release. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Feb 14, 11:46

If one interprets 2022 literally, then Avatar only gets 2.66 weekends. That may explain why Avatar's odds aren't better. . . Abraxas Feb 14, 15:29

I think I will... 5 bucks will get me 30! Kaching!! {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Feb 14, 11:45

I'd take a flyer on Jurassic at 12:1. It could happen. {nm} Initech Feb 14, 12:49
