CM, A:E and SM:FFH all in theaters together


It appears that Marvel/Disney didnt take good advantage of having three properties in release simultaneously.

A:E manufactured it's own BO bump, SM:FFH is doing well post A:E but CM is struggling, really struggling. CM is already on Home Media which can't help and I don't see it keeping screens beyond this week either.

Such a rare event passes and not a single mention. Curious.

Interesting.

Disney has 4 movies in top 12 BO this weekend, 5 next weekend. You forgot TS4 and Aladdin.

CM made $36K in 84 theatres over last week. A:E made $5M in 2K theatres.

I should have stated Marvel/Disney, as those three films share some direct MCU storylines and potential box-office synergy that should have played well with audiences.

Lets see

Avengers EG....Now Guaranteed to be the Highest Grossing Film ever made with 2.788 B+...where Disney Will net a record 700 M+ in Profit

Captain Marvel....The highest Grossing Female Superhero film of All TIME in every possible way including Opening Weekend,domestic and WW with 1.125 B+....where Disney Will Bet 350 to 400 M+ in Profit

Spider-Man FFH....Now Officially guaranteed to be The Highest Grossing Spider-Man Movie of All time...Officially resulting in The character reaching New and Never before seen Heights

Cherry On Top.....Marvel Studios Breaks their own 2018 record of producing 3 MCU films that top 4 Billion + WW which was The HIGHEST GROSSING year In CBM history, and Now In 2019 Produce 3 MCU films That top 5 B+ to once again Have The HIGHEST Grossing year in CBM history

I would definitely attribute that outcome to the Re-Release but not because all three films are being touted as being in theaters simultaneously.

This resulted not from the three films being positioned together nor because Marvel acknowledged the circumstance and promoted it as an event.

SM:FFH probably did get a bit of a push riding on A:E's coattails which might be why Disney/Marvel moved up the release date for SM:FFH to take advantage of the 4th of July holiday session. I don't think CM saw any such bounce because of this troika type event and I also don't recall Marvel/Disney touting that synergy to any of the individual film's advantage. SM:FFH's success is pretty much clearly a result of Marvel bringing Spidey home to the MCU.

I think you're spot on that Disney/Marvel have much to crow about for this 2019 film season without even having to compare it against 2018.

I'm not even disagreeing with you Bill.

I was making an observation of the event and the lack of any visible effort by Disney/Marvel to self-promote the happening. Marvel did the work and is reaping the results by default but CM saw no incremental increase in Box Office. At least to my limited observation of CM's box office performance and market share.

I'm not sure what your getting at with CM....or why you would expect it to have some extra bump this late its in run

CM's Box office run is over...Its already out on home media...

CM actually had very good legs and got An amazing BUMP in box office when EG came out...

Expecting CM to benefit from FFH IMO just doesnt make any sense and I can honestly say I havent seen 1 other Box office site or Analyst even remotely suggest it should have..

I think You are expecting something that No ONE else is...

I could maybe understand if CM debuted around the same time as EG....But CM's box office run is over...

If CM is going to receive Any BUMP from FFH its going to be On Home Media not from Theatrical box office....In fact I would actually bet on it...

I bet CMs Digital buys and BR buys had a noticeable BUMP from benefiting from FFH...

Box office.com stopped reporting CM's daily box office on the 4th of July....I'm not even sure CM is in Theaters any more

at best CM had maybe 2 days that it could have benefited from FFH....and by then it would have been in so few theaters in wouldnt have mattered


I may be completely missing your point, but I'm just not sure what your getting at...ya its cool that Marvel Studios had 3 MCU films playing at the same time....

But to expect CM to have some noticeable Increase from FFH at the end of its run(literally with only 2 days remaining) in a small amount of theaters after The Film has already been released on Home MEDIA....is something I just do not understand....

again I'm not trying to be mean, But can you point to anywhere else where someone Is expecting this?....Maybe again I'm just missing your point....

can you point to any boxoffice sites or analysts that explain why CM should be seeing this Noticeable BUMP in Box office from FFH after Its Box office run is over?
