Far From Home Spider-Man: Far From Home ---- Official Box Office Prediction Thread

[I Am The Knight]

The original Spider-Man making $5 million in China is hilarious. China has truly become a box office behemoth.

China and Asia on general are the main reason why Star Wars isnt is popular worldwide as the mcu those days. Everywhere else europe, usa those two franchises are neck to neck but then you have an entire continent who doesnt care about the Skywalkers.

Asia got into the mcu craze with the rest of the world and rode the wave. Star wars was before their time and they missed that zeitgeist.

South America too is going crazy for the big CBMs while a bit more luke-warm for SW.

Only for the mcu. Endgame is the most attended movie in Brazil history. Only bvs performed well there i believe. And dark phoenix bombed. Well dp bombed everywhere lol.

Nice to see Spidey will be properly joining the billion dollar club soon. It really won't have any comparable competition until Hobbs & Shaw comes out a whole month later.

It should play nicely alongside The Lion King.

 

[Nicko-Ray]

REALLY curious to see the numbers by this Sunday. Wonder if it woulda been better just to leave this on the original July 5th date or not...

 

[MahvelBaby!]

MCU boards are basically "Hey look another winner! on to the next!" lol I'm already eyeing the Black Widow board lol

When Spidey gets there, Superman will be the only top three Comic book character that does not have a Billion dollar Solo movie, hell he has never been in any movie that grossed a Billion. I don't see that changing in the next 10 years .

Well, it's not like they couldn't do it...they just have to get a writer in there who quits making their version of Superman, and just makes Superman...a character who has a gigantic heart, ALWAYS does right, and is bigger (emotionally) than his problems. Man of Steel failed for me when he took a big rig and impaled it with poles because someone was mean to him and a waitress. What if that truck had been hauling antibiotics the next day, but it was now out of commission? What if the guy's wife just left him, or he had lost someone he loved? Superman thinks about those things. That guy posed no threat to him, so he could have just talked to him. That's the Super thing to do.

The problem is that people try to make Superman "cool" and "edgy", and he isn't those things. He isn't Batman. He's a wholesome farm boy from the midwest who knows right and wrong, and he knows might does NOT make right. It's not complicated, but Hollywood has trouble selling a hero who isn't deeply troubled of flawed. Look at Batman. He's a walking therapy session. He is PTSD with a little Social Anxiety Disorder wrapped up in a Dracula costume...and it's visually and narratively compelling to watch! So it sells. Spider-Man is totally responsible for his uncle's death, he screws up regularly, and he does the right thing to make up for the fact that he once didn't. Superman never had to learn that lesson because he already knew it was wrong. He lives in a world he could conquer in a day, and he has always chosen to protect it and defend it.

I say all this as someone who is NOT a Superman fan...mainly because I've watched the character devolve from the Reeves Superman of old and the "Die fighting Doomsday" Superman of the comics, and turn into the Superman who just seems miserable being Superman. Make a good Superman movie...and it will KILL a billion.

Im gonna say FFH will open at $130 mil. I think $120 mil is a bit low.

Could have been $140 mil if it had a Friday to Sunday opening.

 

[shinlyle]

I'm going to say 150 plus...because I live in a fantasy land that I want to be a reality.

I think u can make superman edgy and cool and still keep him as the moral center and uncompromising in that regard in the same way the Ruso Brothers did for Captain America. U just need writers and directors who can deliver the goods.

Spidey stepping into the billion dollar club.... Me likes!

There are like a hundred kids standing outside for the 10:00am showing.

It's not necessarily a fair comparison because Chris Evan's Cap has been in 7 movies so he's had hours of development. But some of my favorite Cap moments are not just him kicking ass against Thanos, Winter Soldier, Iron Man etc. It's the moments he's just talking and in my opinion inspiring others. Black Widow, Falcon, Fury, Wanda, Bucky, T'Challa, Spider-Man. I think any Superman movie needs that.

BOOM. Precisely! Heroic characters are common for any superhero flick, but Cap and Supes should be the heroes that inspire the other heroes! That's what has been missing in Superman movies for a LONG time. Cap gets it right. In Civil War, when he turns against his own friends over what is right, that is classic Cap.

Love Superman, but I think the character is outdated.
