I noticed in the Thor: Ragnarok press release that Mark Ruffalo was credited as playing Bruce Banner and I was like "Oh, yeah, right.".

Wonder how much time he'll spend depowered vs. Hulk-ed up.

 

[Chamber]

I feel like the mixed reception to JW is overstated. It had a 3x multiplier and did gangbusters on home video. It'll drop because it has to drop from $650m but I think it still has enough juice to win the summer.

 

[LordOfLore]

Really surprised there was no Han Solo poster revealed on stage. Are they just going to drop that and Antman & The Wasp at SDCC?

 

[Bobby Roberts]

Wait, there was supposed to be a poster release for Han Solo?

There wasn't even a title reveal.

And apparently Ewan McGregor was just at Anaheim to be at Anaheim

 

[BronsonLee]

There's lots to do in Anaheim!

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

Ana-"Who can afford to fly to Florida these days?"-heim

I literally had the guy who told me about it before text me what I thought of the TLJ posters and if they showed off the Han Solo one since he hadn't seen it posted anywhere. He's one of the guys in charge of fixing the marketing(change things on posters sent to him so they work in swedish, cutting new ones for webpages, making 6 second ads etc) in Sweden for most WB, Universal, Lucasfilm and Fox movies.

He got the material and posters for Han Solo, TLJ, Antman and Wasp and some others(like a JL one)from oversea last week. He said it was new things from SDCC and D23 as far as he knew.

Ewan is a few steps away from standing outside Kathleen Kennedy's office with a "Will play Obi-Wan for free" sign.

Well I don't think LFL is supposed to have any presence at SDCC, so if he actually saw some Han Solo shit, either they're holding it for something else during D23 or they decided not to do shit with it after they sent it along.

Yeah, they might've sent things out before the director problems got solved. Apparently the ship on the poster is real ugly compared to the Falcon and most post-prequel ships.

Still surprised they're holding on to the May date and not taking the chance to delay with a good reason.

This. It'll do fine.

Despicable Me 3 (4,155 theaters) - $19.2 M
The Big Sick (2,597 theaters) - $11.5 M
Baby Driver (3,043 theaters) - $8.1 M

Transformers: The Last Knight (2,323 theaters) - $2.9 M
Cars 3 (2,049 theaters) - $2.8 M
The House (1,633 theaters) - $1.7 M

What does everything think?

 

[wachie]

1. Jurassic World 2 ($435m)
2. Infinity War ($405m)
3. Incredibles 2 ($360m)
4. Han Solo ($315m)

What? IW barely crossing 400M would be weak sauce.

Anything less than 500M for the 1st finale to MCU would be a failure.

Well I guess IW is going to be a failure then.

 

[Slayven]

Is it me or are movies being made faster nowadays? I am not talking about being put out I am talking about writing, filming, sfx, etc

 

[HeySeuss]

So how bad is Valarian going to bomb? It looks terrible

 

[wachie]

Well I guess IW is going to be a failure then.

I will post the exact gif when it blows past your 405m.

 

[Toa TAK]

Did you not just feast?

You're a cruel man.

 

[Slayven]

Valarian actually looks fun and interesting, but it is in that weird zone for me where i want to see it, but I don't want to go to the theaters for it. first run on HBO or Netflix i am there

 

[Chamber]

Feel free. I don't see who's showing up to watch IW that didn't show up to watch Civil War, Ultron or Guardians 2.

Let's bring up the old Age of Ultron predictions for a good laugh.

It looks all beauty and no substance. The seems to be a thin plot to just be enough for the eye candy effects. Almost like it's trying to be the next Avatar

 

[OrangeAtlas]

So Guillermo del Toro's The Shape of Water just had its first trailer drop with War for the Planet of the Apes, and it looks like a pseudo-Hellboy movie. It also comes out week before Star Wars.

I thought it was a 10 Cloverfield Lane-esque secret reveal but apparently it's been announced for a while.

Bruce Willis and Chris Tucker saved the Fifth Element. Maybe those 2 kids i don't know the name of but probably like 30 will do the same?

 

[Chamber]

There's no way I'm missing Valerian on the big screen. That type of cheesy looking sci-fi is right up my alley and it'll be a visual treat for sure.

Besides, I even found something to like in Lucy and this can't be worse than that.

I think Harry Osborne is what turns me off of this movie the most.

I really was wondering if I was watching at trailer for a hellboy prequel or a creature from the black lagoon reboot.

edit: On Valerian, these are your two protagonists

Willis and Mila they ain't.

 

[Bronx-Man]

Robert Pattison & Andrew Garfield chose correctly post-blockbuster life. Dane did not.

Rth is saying $19.5M for Apes and $17.5m for Spider-Man on Saturday.

If that holds up, Spider-Man will make $44-45M this weekend. Apes will be around $57M

That would be terrible for both and a massive drop for home coming, no?

mojo has Apes at 70mil and spidey at 57 by the way.

That is their weekend forecast (estimate) based on no actual numbers. They have updated and have Apes at
58M and Homecoming at 47.5M.

Mojo was wrong. Apes, I can understand (since it was an opener), but their Spider-Man prediction made no sense when they made it.

Ok so is the drop normal for spidey or concerning? I would of thought WOM would keep it higher.

60% drop is not great for a MCU film.

 

[BronsonLee]

'Why isn't Tony Stark in this movie more?!'

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

Weak Saturday for Spider-Man. I'll be curious to see if it stabilizes at all next week, but with the loss of IMAX screens next weekend, it could drop another 50%.

 

[Bronx-Man]

Damn, Homecoming bombed like a mf. Time for Sony to buy the rights

Fox. Buddy team up with Deadpool.

Spider-man will still do decently overall.

Civil War had a 1.65x opening weekend multiplier after its second weekend

Spider-man Homecoming would have a 1.77x opening weekend multiplier if this weekend is $44M. Summer weekdays more than erase the larger second weekend drop.

I don't doubt that it will still be a success. Probably not as big as some people may have thought.

I can't believe a Wonder Woman movie is out performing a movie wirh spiderman and iron man. What a trainwreck.

Wonder woman getting a movie has been a long time coming and its better adaptation of the character so it doesn't suprise me.

Spidey will do at least 800 million, so it will out perform wonder woman

 

[broncobuster]

Deadpool? Spidey and Fantastic Four will share a reboot. Break out the paper bag!

 

[3N16MA]

Spider-Man and now potentially Apes. What is the secret sauce?

I, personally, don't know who you could be talking about!

I actually think most of the estimates were pretty reasonable in regards to Homecoming. Do I need to go back and check yours?
