I don't go to sports games, and you most likely wouldn't pay $5 anyway, so again...WHAT DOES IT MATTER TO YOU?? You won't pay to go to a movie...you think the world should bow at your feet and give you everything??
If people are silly enough to pay big bucks to watch sweaty people pass a ball around, that's on them. If the NBA or NFL gets that dough they're gonna get that dough.
Again, find something more intelligent to do.
LOL, right...all you got is bitching on the internets

We'll see about that... Disney has had quite a few flops this year, both with and without Marvel attached to them.

It's only been released for 11 days, and it's already the 9th highest grossing Marvel movie, right behind Captain Marvel's entire $1,128,274,794 worldwide gross by only about $45k. It probably got that last night.
Good for Marvel. Good for Sony. Bad for Disney.
ETA: I just checked, and it's doing that well in 11 days without even being released in China.

Here's what the top 8 Marvel movies made in China:
1. Avengers: End Game / $629 Million

2. Avengers: Infinity War / $359 Million

4. Avengers: Age of Ultron / $240 Million

6. Iron Man 3 / $0 ... Doesn't seem to have been released in China.

8. Captain Marvel / $153 Million

The only movie above No Way Home that also wasn't shown in China is Iron Man 3, which shouldn't be a problem for NWH to pass at only $1.214 Billion.
As a side note, I think it's kind of funny that outside the the Avengers movies the highest grossing Marvel movie in China is a Captain America movie. I'm 100% convinced that it's because the sub-title is "Civil War".

I think this one is missing The Matrix movie. Only in the 2020's would a Matrix movie lose money and not take the number one spot for the weekend.

You said you were going to watch this, didn't you? Did you see it? I've never watched anything reviewing it on YouTube, but it has popped up quite a bit in my feed and people really seem to like it.

Good. The only Matrix movie that should have ever come out was the original Matrix. With the Animatrix being the ONLY exception, any additional film put out not only was far worse, but it detracted from the greatness of the original film. Nobody wanted to see Morpheus was only Middle-Management.
As for The King's Man? Fuck those movies. Pure violence porn trash. Maybe after the shitshow the world has become since April of 2020 people are finally tired of watching that crap. Good riddance.

What the article forgets to mention is that the advertising budget usually doubles the cost of the movie. At least, that's how it was be

Sing 2, an American movie, this animated music thing or computer-animated musical comedy film produced by illumination entertainment and released by Universal Pictures is making money, it beat the Matrix remake.

To be fair, it's a kids movie and a cartoon.
I don't really think you can count animated features as musicals. At least not in the traditional sense.
That being said though, as much as I love South Park, I hated the movie. Even South Park couldn't get me to enjoy the genre.

I really, really don't understand what they were thinking. I know that with all the woke shit out there that they don't really care what people do or don't want to see, but did they stop doing market research altogether? (I'm not claiming WSS was woke... I have no idea if it was or not).
Who in their right mind thought that a remake of West Side Story would be a good idea in the 2020s?
This movie was destined to fail before the first dime was spent on it. At least give yourself a chance out of the gates... Like The Eternals did just by the sheer virtue of being a comic book movie.

Diversity can't save ANYTHING. If diversity is your major selling point, it will only cause whatever garbage you're putting out to do worse than it would have if you just left it alone.
Get that through your heads or just keep losing money for your investors until they stop investing.
Here's a novel idea:
Why don't you actually go on the streets and ask black people if they'd rather see new black characters created with good stories and writing behind them, or if they want to see another long-time white character with blackface.
While you're at it, (and this question is mostly directed at the woke agenda comic book writers who have taken over and are killing the industry) why don't you ask those same black people if they like the fact that almost every time you put blackface on a white character you also make them gay too?
I think all you overpaid white do-gooders would be shocked at the answers you get to those questions.
Apparently your abysmal sales numbers aren't getting the message across. So drastic measures like finally breaking free of your lily-white comfort zone and actually speaking to black people are called for.
That might lead to another question that drives terror into your dreams...
After years of being a do-nothing, "white-ally", twit-tard... Are any of you even capable of carrying out a three minute real-life conversation with an actual black person without coming off as condescending and offensive to them?
I suspect that there's got to be at least a few among you who are self-aware enough to already know the answer to that question.
And it makes your skin crawl.
