Was that finalized about Andor? I remember a major streaming ratings* guy announced that it was doing badly and then after a whole news cycle about Andor underperforming he announced he'd gotten his math wrong and it was actually doing fine. That was reported on much less.
You could argue it's starting to happen to Marvel. (Besides Guardians)The DCEU is a prime example of this mentality:
Whether we like to admit it or not, Marvel managed to build a strong brand that's able to take hits.
DC has done nothing but take hits sine MoS
Do they still get views?
What were they gonna about Batman? Nolan and Bale were pretty adamant about ending with TDKR
Here's an update to GOTG3's weekly domestic performance, plus how Across the Spider-verse stacks up to the same films I compared GOTG3 to:
GOTG3 continues to do well for itself domestically, having one of the strongest sixth weeks in the history of the MCU. In nominal terms, its sixth week was bested only by those of Endgame (barely), No Way Home, Black Panther, Infinity War, The Avengers, and Captain Marvel. It continues to have one of the lowest drop-off rates of any MCU film to date, and in absolute terms is well on its way to having the highest post-Week 2 gross of any post-Endgame MCU film besides No Way Home (its gross after just Week 1 will probably fall short of Wakanda Forever's due to that film getting a big boost from the Thanksgiving holiday in its second week). Outside of North America, it has apparently already exceeded GOTG2's lifetime gross in most major markets, with the only notable places it's lagging behind being China and Japan.
Across the Spider-Verse is also doing very well for itself. It has already far surpassed the lifetime gross of Into the Spider-Verse. Like GOTG3, it had a relatively soft drop in Week 2. It will definitely do well over $300M lifetime domestically, possibly somewhere in the $330-350M range. I noticed some unusual behavior it has in its daily box office, namely that it hasn't had the best weekends relative to the other films in the chart, but it has much stronger weekdays, resulting in the weekends having a noticeably lower share of the total weekly gross for its first two weeks. While its opening weekend was noticeably lower than every other movie on that graph aside from GOTG3, its first Monday-Thursday period easily bested all the others. Its second weekday period likewise bested all of the films on the chart, except for Wakanda Forever, which as mentioned got a boost from the Thanksgiving holiday in its second weekday period and third weekend. If ATSV continues to exhibit this behavior, then if its weekends drop off at a similar rate to GOTG3, then the strong weekday periods could actually propel it to a good bit over $350M. It will be an interesting showdown between ATSV and these other films, and I'm sure Sony is more than happy with its performance.
Every DC movie before BvS was meant to start something for them.
I highly doubt WB actually had a well thought out plan at any point in their process of building the DCEU
It did get a big boost from the Thanksgiving holiday, hence the strong performance in Week 2 and Weekend 3, but even beyond that it did do decently. At nearly $454M lifetime, it still out-grossed all but six other MCU films in nominal terms. So much for "Marvel fatigue." Sure, that's a lot less than BP1, but BP1 far exceeded all expectations. Nobody expected it to get anywhere close to $700M domestic. Chadwick as T'Challa was the right actor for the right character & film at the right time. The hype was as huge and the film was excellent. It'd be hard to replicate that, especially with the tragic loss of Chadwick.
Actually, they were going to make that in 2004. Wolfgang Petersen was going to direct. The. They split it into Batman Begins and Superman Returns.
Yeah, I think everyone said Bale's Batman wouldn't work in a Justice League universe.
True, but Wakanda Forever also had no real competition till Avatar.
I personally don't think the movie looks good and I am pretty sure I can tell what's going to happen beat by beat just from the poster.
Lol.
How the hell did The Suicide Squad get a B+???I just saw this on the BO subreddit, it's the DCEU's Cinemascore history
A downward trend since Shazam. And if it continues...I just saw this on the BO subreddit, it's the DCEU's Cinemascore history
