70 millions for the second weekend is better than most movies' opening weekend. Will the haters give up?


I know they changed predictions from a disappointing opening weekend to a big second weekend drop. The movie is not a flop by any measure . Will they give up and accept their "anti-white" controversy is in their heads?

reply

It certainly is surprising since the movie is just 'ok' - reminds me of Solo in that it isn't great or terrible ... it's just ok.

So yeah it's certainly worth a watch and it's good they are making bank.

End Game should be massive then you would think.

The day that happens, I guess hell will open up and they’ll all be dragged down to the fiery paradise (like they deserve to be lol).

But naw... incelites will just keep making asses of themselves by attempting to change the narrative any ridiculous way they want despite being proven oh so wrong over and over again (note: its weekend box office decline was the second smallest for an MCU film). They are a mind-blowingly desperate and delusional reactionary bunch.

Not much more needs to be said about them and their agenda of hate.

reply

You know people who overlook a movie multiple and deep flaws for some poltical bs are just as delusional as anybody who hates this movie just because there women in it. Frankly i don't think there that many of them.

reply

Yeah because money makes a movie good. That why everyone thinks Bayformers is better than Citizen Kane. Oh. Wait. Its Not.

reply

The reality is the fans for this movie is mostly white males compare to female so I don’t think we can say it’s anti-white male when they are the ones supporting this movie the most n

reply

Haven't seen it yet so i won't judge but how much the movie makes means absolutely nothing.Every Fast and furious movie after the first one was ridiculous over blown crap.Yet the amount of money they've raked in would have you believe their film masterpieces.I've also seen a few movies that bombed at the box office that i thought were damn good.

Domestically it's only doing so so and is only being propelled via foreign watchers.

$152m budget with only a $266m gross isn't all that great.

Find 1 box office site or analyst that agrees with you and says CM isnt doing great domestically.....



Its perfectly fine for you to live in a delusional world....But dont present your delusional ramblings as facts...

Captain Marvel heading toward a 375 To 400 Million + domestic gross....theres not a box office analyst, box office site or person on EARTH who understands box office that would call that anything but great,,,


the level of delusion or just plain Anger and Jealous one has to have to say this "Domestically it's only doing so so and is only being propelled via foreign watchers.".....is kinda scary....

theres only 3 possible explanations for making this Absurd statement and all of them are frightening for you...

1. You do understand Box office and Understand how Great CM is doing and are incredibly Angry,Jealous and Upset at Its success and are simply trolling out of SPITE

2. You have absolutely no Clue about box office, and dont know your statements are false,,embarrassing, and are not based in reality

3. most concerning, your just delusional...you understand CM's box office is great, But You delusionally want to believe its not because Its Bothers you so much...



whatever the case is, you are more than within your right to Ramble, Lie, or Delusionally rant....

just know, Theres not a single box office site,analyst or person who understands box office thats agrees with your opinions...

NO words can describe truly how badly you failed here...

for your sake I hope Your just Spite Trolling and You deep down know everything you are saying is not true....

Because if you truly are this delusional....as I said it scary,frightening and SAD

Haha, dude, put on your Captain Marvel pajamas and go to bed.

You're getting way too heated about all of this.

reply

Haha, dude, put on your Captain Marvel pajamas and go to bed.

^^

it really has nothing to do with Captain Marvel

Instead as someone who understand box office and has followed box office for 20 years...

The Pure Absurdity of The Posters comments insulted me...



Domestically it's only doing so so and is only being propelled via foreign watchers.

$152m budget with only a $266m gross isn't all that great.

I'm not exaggerating....there is not 1 thing even remotely true about these statmeents...

This is the equivalent of Someone looking at a Stop Sign and saying "Its Green, the color of the stop sign is green"...

there is No truth to the statement, Its completely delusional...

thats why I responded by saying "Just find 1 single person, 1 single Box office site, 1 single box office analyst that agree with you"

The poster simply gave a completely uneducated opinion and presented it as a FACT...

He can not find another Person ALIVE that understands box office that would agree with him.

I just saw CM last night...I thought it was above average but not great...I'm in no way some UBER CM nut...Instead His statements were so delusional and lacked all truth and reality, It insulted me as someone who understands and follows box office

reply

I don't claim to be a Box Office expert, but 760M worldwide after 2 weeks has got to be considered pretty good, right?

reply

Yes very good ahead of expectations IMO.

reply

It's incredibly good. I know Captain Marvel had the 6th best worldwide opening weekend in the history of cinema. I don't know where it ranks after 2 weeks, but likely still quite high up the list. Will Marvel ever make a flop???

reply

Considering this is the first Captain Marvel movie ever and a maligned one at that, $266million (after only two weeks)

If this was a 2018 release, it would be currently the #8 highest grossing movie in the US domestically.

The likelihood is it will end up beating Aquaman to be #6, just behind Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom.

No-one is saying their US gross "isn't all that great".

reply

My wife dragged me to see it last Friday; the theater was at least half empty. I'm surprised the movie is making as much as it is. It wasn't as bad as I expected but still really mediocre. Think I agree with the reviews saying it felt like a phase 1 movie, maybe even straight to home video. Larson's acting just wasn't good at all. Her smarmy jokes all fell so flat.

I'd already decided a couple years ago I could only stay invested in the MCU til Endgame then I'm done; just too weary of how formulaic these movies have become. The masses are still clearly eating them up, though; it's vexing, but it is what it is, I guess.

reply

the theater was at least half empty. I'm surprised the movie is making as much as it is.
And incomes the conspiracy loons to “enlighten” you!

Anyway, don’t let the door hit you on the a on the way out, Captain Uppity. (It’s easy to spot the “new” CM board dwelling t-t-rawls.)

reply

Disney has been buying tickets to inflate the numbers.

reply

Haha deluded or what , take off your tin foil hat

reply

Of course. There's nothing unusual with empty theaters with seats sold out. As you say XDDDDD

reply

You can convince yourself of anything despite having no proof, can't you?

reply

There has been numerous reports of empty theaters. In many cases, theaters that appeared having almost all seats sold.

reply

Numerous reports? These were no doubt reported directly to you by others angry at Captain Marvel's success? Or maybe you saw them reported on YouTube when searching for #CaptainMarvelTruther? Have you any *actual* news reports to back up your claim?

reply

Prove it or shut up.

My theater was PACKED

reply

My theater was PACKED

Prove it or shut up.

reply

Box office mojo.com

There’s your proof, moron

reply

Fair enough.

However, you should provide the link in box office mojo that proves specifically your that your theater was packed, which is what you stated.

Of course, it could happen that you lied, and neither your theater was packed, nor there is such a link. I suppose that then you will insult or attack me again.

reply

No I’ll ask you what proof I could provide since it was an experience I encountered. Unlike your assertion, the one you’ve yet to provide any proof of, that Disney bought millions of tickets and that theaters are empty despite being sold out and there are NO stories from reliable, credible sources in the movie theater industry reporting these sold out ghost houses you talk about.

reply

He can't prove it. It's something he heard about and it fits what he wants to believe. Arguing with him is like arguing with a flat earther. He believes it because he wants it to be true, not because he has any proof.

reply

You know I know that, right?

reply

We're all still waiting for your proof.

reply

Never said anything about conspiracy. Just surprised it's making so much. Other theaters, other times must have been fuller.

Stop projecting your own narrative.

reply

"After Endgame I'm done."

Just curious what your opinion of Aquaman is? Did you find it to be fresh and removed from tired formulas?

reply

Making lots of money equals high quality, said every Trump supporter. The power of marketing is incredible.
