U haven't heard anyone say they're gonna see it again--- ur frame of reference isn't even 1% of the population that's super silly . But hey u have been consistent with going on the lower side of things for this movie (u and 2 others) and to be fair I've been equally consistent the other way. My first prediction that it would have the biggest November of all time is true and we'll check back in wk 3 for the others. A few others also said it wouldn't do as well as the first internationally I believe:I may need to adjust mine too.
- Internationally it's doing much worse than Strange.
- Reviews and word of mouth is good but not exceptional. There are many people who find it meh, both here and everywhere I happened to have seen.
- Like I said before, the sad tone, slow pacing and very long runtime is going to affect its legs. Multiverse of Madness was a fast-paced two hour movie with many cameos and details that people felt the need to see again. I haven't heard anyone proclaiming they're going to see Wakanda Forever again any time soon.
Next weekend's drop is going to clear things out more.
Like for like, up to this point it's outperforming the original internationally- so out of the gate it's ahead (they didn't include China or Russia so the comparison is like for like).
Many people point to the long run time hindering the film’s opening numbers, but the strong reception should see this one leg out quite nicely.
“Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” (Disney) is a per-theater average of $40,946 (4,396 theaters estimated at $180 million) Larger than what Dr.Strange did but since Wakanda Forever had less theaters showing it and a longer run time it came up short of Dr.Strange even though more people per theater showed up to this!
I say by wk 3 it jumps ahead of Strange bot domestically and internationally but up to that will lag behind. Time will reveal all either way-- but regardless of all that no can deny it's a huge success and a win for the MCU!
