I wonder if in retrospect it was a mistake to put Spidey in Civil War because it meant Marvel couldn't give Homecoming the obvious marketing hook of "SPIDER-MAN IS BACK". Instead we saw him a year ago.

folks would've thought that it was still Garfield

 

[broncobuster]

Batman will be fine, as will Aquaman, but Flash is in a curious position. His movie is 2019 at the earliest. It's a sizable gap from Justice League, and who knows if Justice League 2 happens before a solo Flash.

Although I suppose it's not different than Civil War to Black Panther, with the difference that Flash still doesn't have a date.

 

[Principate]

if WB is smart Bats and WW will be the main focus of JL marketing

fuck cyborg tho wasteman character.



ehh him back in high school is for the best. Raimi and webb treated highschool as footnotes and background noise than actively using the setting for something cool.

That works as a phase 1 setting we're gearing towards a galactic clash with characters that have had numerous films worth of character development. It really sticks out.

 

[BronsonLee]

Spidey is supposed to stick out and be a young gun anyway

we don't need an old ass spiderman out of the gate. we've had that before. It sticking out is fine tbh. one of the most refreshing cape films in years imo.

this, too many cbm's star 30-50 year olds, lets get some young blood up in here.

I think the predictions of 150 M domestic and under could qualify given the budget and expectations, and what usually passed for "bomb" on GAF.

I'm not saying it was the majority view, but you can find lots of comments about it going to "flop super hard" (to quote that thread) and a lot of predictions that number and under.

And if you go back to the threads earlier in the year, before the good impressions hit, that sentiment was very very common. Even after the trailers hit.

i think we'd just have to disagree on what counts as lots. And that one dude who said flop super hard on the first page was rightfully called out

Adult Jake Gyllenhaal Spidey would have made 1 billion troops easy

A black woman Spider Man set in New Orleans would have made all the money

Who said we needed old ass spiderman, we just didn't need a 3rd spiderman film where peter goes to high school or rather the audience doesn't seem that thrilled by the concept. The all sorts of stories they could have done with it being that low key.

It's a matter of when, also. In January it would be a more common opinion.

Well it is July but the real competition starts next week.

Highlighting the only part of this that would upset me.

Yep

Valerian will crush all opposers

 

[Mix Master]

Nolan bout to save 2017, 2018, 1995, and 2035

Undisputed GOAT

WW crossed 380. Legs on this is outstanding.

 

[Busty]

Yep

I'm still entirely convinced that Valerian won't turn out to be a film at all but some kind of Gabbo style puppet.

 

[Mix Master]

Damn.

Dat Drop

I honestly hope studios take a long hard look at their blockbusters after underperformances this year.

Although poor Homecoming

 

[mreddie]

Homecoming got APED

 

[Poor GRIMES]

Hoooooly @ Spiderman's drop. What happened?

 

[Principate]

More female led superhero films right? RIGHT? Wonder woman part 5 electric bungaloo. coming 2030.

 

[Heshinsi]

Hoooooly @ Spiderman's drop. What happened?

Strong competition? It's one thing to release a movie and having nothing but poorly reviewed films to go up against for weeks, and another thing to run right into a critically acclaimed film the week after you open.

 

[El Topo]

Homecoming got APED

All hail Doctor Zaius.

We both know they won't.

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

Could be Capemovies fatigue.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

It's a Spider-Man movie.

 

[J_Viper]

Imagine if Venom has a stronger hold

 

[El Topo]

Could be Capemovies fatigue.

GOTG2 and WW say otherwise.

 

[mreddie]

Before we say doom and gloom,

GOTG and Wonder Woman had shit competition

And GOTG had Aliens and Pirates

Apes was a slightly underperformer so I wouldn't say the competition is all that strong. I've been defending Spidey's run to this point, and it's still having a solid run, but I'll say WOM is probably not as good as people think.

 

[TheSkullPrince]

An estimated 60% drop for Spider-Man? Yeesh, I thought the RT score and great word-of-mouth was going to give it strong legs.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

I saw little kids watch Apes. They were really into the movie to. It was weird.

 

[broncobuster]

Hoooooly @ Spiderman's drop. What happened?

1st week

2nd week

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

GOTG2 and WW say otherwise.

Isn't that the point? I mean spiderman came out after those two plus Logan.

Also other posters make a case in that those two didn't have real competition.

 

[Joni]

It is an origins movie for a superhero who we have seen in two origins movies.

It's not really an origin movie.

 

[gundamkyoukai]

It going to take more than 1 good spidey movie to win people back after the last 10 years .
