Why does it matter
Those first three are all me
I AM THE TASTEMAKER
None of this matters
Just an awful lot of crow being served. To myself included
Speak for yourself I'm the smartest man in the world
China cares
about me!
Spiderman 3 had a great many sins but making super hero movies unpopular was not one of them.
It looks like the kinda thing he signed on before he got big or something that was sitting on shelves for a while waiting for the lead to get big
OP
OP
Fantastic Beasts 1 was already at $475M by this point. Also China launched a week later for FB1, and will go on to make quite a bit more.
Subtracting China, it was $220M for FB1 vs $216M for FB2 last weekend, and $435M for FB1 vs $389M for FB2 this weekend. $800M is dead. $700M is looking unlikely.

The UK sure does love their (Mc)Queen.
The international market won't save either of them.
Yes I know I bolded the entire thing but come on. This being a bona fide hit is funnier than anything in the film.
Sony so far has had a pretty reliable track record of starting franchises, immediately planning multiple sequels and spin-offs and then not making it more than a couple of movies in before the whole thing crashes and burns.
I'll believe it when I see it.
What are its chances of coming in under JL?
Word of mouth is very good. To anyone outside of the era and movie critic/enthusiast echo chamber it is a good movie. Sony gives no fucks, and to be honest if I were them id take the same attitude. At the end of the day you make movies for audiences to watch not movie critics
Eh, I contribute this to the Fantastic Four movies and other shitty Fox movies back to back to back more than Sony.
Grinch has been out for a week longer. If anything, FB should be cannibalizing Grinch. And if Ralph was cannibalizing any movie this week, it would have been The Grinch.
Nah, $700 million in North America is something absolutely no one predicted or even came close to predicting. Some optimistic folks pegged Venom at $700-750m prior to release off trailer hype. The biggest hopefuls for Black Panther were capped at Wonder Woman levels of domestic gross.
Shitting on Infinity War will forever be the greatest upset.
Very happy to see Creed 2 perform that well.
I knew Robin Hood, it looked TERRIBLE. It looked like King Arthur which was such a garbage movie.
Can someone explain why Venom is doing that well ? It makes NO SENSE whatsoever. I'm lost.

I may be wrong but I pretty destinctly remember he signed on to Robin Hood a matter of months after kingsman. I do wonder if his agents weren't trying to push him out into something else kingsman-esque as soon as possible
Venom does not have any good characters, action scenes, jokes, dialogue, shots, or even Easter eggs. Eddie Brock is an absolute trash fire of a protagonist.
So despite it's issues, it is still coming close to the first then? It will be very interesting to see how WB will try to fix the next one to try to draw more people back.
How did you get that from his post? Sub-$700m to $814m is a pretty big difference.
By this logic, this would mean Suicide Squad is a good movie.

We were getting Venom 2 back when this first one passed $500M.
Venom did amazingly well for such a crap movie for some reason, but allot of the international gross relies on China where Sony gets less than 25% of ticket sales.
Who said suicide squad had good word of mouth? It's weekly drops alone would tell you that's not true. Let alone it's 60% audience score on rotten tomatoes, which is abysmal. Compare that to Venom's legs and and it's 80% audience score on rotten tomatoes. Also, I said word of mouth, no where did I say that Venom was a good movie
Edit: let me clarify, it's not a good movie by critic standards, and I find it a fun romp but not a particularly good film myself. But to the average person, they don't care what some critic has to say about a movie
"I think a movie is bad therefore it's universally agreed as bad"
Some flawless logic there.
I thought Suicide Squad had pretty good legs? That's how it made so much money (in the US at least)
Nah, Venom got shit on by critics because it wasn't Marvel with a lot of people hoping it bombs so Spidey can return to Marvel. It's not any worse than stuff like IM, Thor, Capt, Phase 1 Marvel. Has some issues, but there is a solid core to build upon there. SS was unfathomable shit where the sequel needs to be entirely overhauled to resemble nothing of the first to the point where it might as well be a reboot. It got lucky it was released at the end of summer.
I think you seriously overestimate how much critics give a fuck about Marvel lmao
