Captain Marvel The Captain Marvel box office prediction thread

[FTCBIRDMAN]

I had never seen anything from the Geeks and Gamers YouTube channel. I keep seeing it mentioned here so I thought I'd check it out. Holy s***. The comments section is ridiculous there. It's pure nazi land in there. I wish I'd never heard the name Geeks and Gamers. Thanks a lot guys!

The irony of a place called Geeks and Gamers spewing so much hatred is not lost on anyone.

 

[Filmfan93]

Yeah, yeah... wait for that 3rd, 4th and 5th weekend drops, though

 

[writer0327]

What's insane is at $1.1B or more, CM might not end up in the top 5 films box office wise at the end of the year. 2019 is going to likely be one of the biggest years we've seen in a long time.

 

[Pink Ranger]

I bet by the 120th weekend, this movie won't even be in the top 10 anymore. **** you, feminists!

 

[terry78]

And Disney "buying their own tickets" of course. *


* Actual allegations on Youtube

And maybe except for one movie (detective picachu) all the other movies in the top 5 will probably be from Disney...

Ikr?

Detective Pikachu, Far From Home, The Lion King, Endgame, Toy Story 4, Frozen 2... .

 

[Fallen]

I just noticed that Lion King and Far From Home will be released two weeks apart. Ugh.

Yes Disney is in the business of losing money just to show the haters.

And SW Episode IX...
We might have 7 or 8 films hit the once lofty $1B barrier

Starting in April every weekend has a big release except for the weekend following Endgame and the weekend between LK and FFH. Thank God for A-List!

 

[Abudefduf]

Please share with the rest of us. I'm stealing this one, it will be very useful, not just now but in Brie's endgame thread.

I can't, pictures with cursing aren't allowed here. It's a gif of Brie saying "f*ck off" with a smile on her face. Very useful

I'm having trouble visualizing it. What we need is a handy chart or something graphical in nature.

(Not really. Please don't spend any time on such a thing )

Japan OW seems to be a bit less than initialy predicted ($5.9M instead of $6.5M) but still biggest OW for a non-Avengers/non-spider-man Marvel movie (even if we exlude Friday numbers since some films opened on a Saturday). If it has average MCU legs it could reach about $22M-$27M.

It's got a fair chance of not even making the Disney top 5 for the year.

That's still a very good result and will be more than expected. Maybe we're seeing slow signs of growth in Japan.

I think Sony gets the movie profits and not Disney but regardless, Disney is poised to have a tremendous year.

So, hypothetically, how would this Disney buying tickets work? You buy a bunch of tickets, the movie theaters take their cut and you lose money? Is there something I'm missing?

 

[Pink Ranger]

Yes Disney is in the business of losing money just to show the haters.

Also, Disney is a publicly traded company, whose investors include large financial institutions and some of the nastiest hedge fund sharks on the planet, who if they were pissed off enough could cut the market value of the company in half by hitting a few buttons on their smartphones, and then sue for what's left. So yeah, Disney would totally try to defraud them by inflating earnings numbers for one single movie in order to prove a minor point about feminism.

Disney is buying the tickets like anyone would online through Fandango or whatever to make it look like Captain Marvel isn't actually flopping because of the backlash

Thats great but t should be an adamantium or vibranium throne , at least.
