Well.... It did better than The Eternals and The Marvels on preview night. I weep for the future.

$12 Million last night.

For comparison:

The Marvels made $6.6 Million on Preview Thursday in 2023.

The Eternals made $9.5 Million on Preview Thursday in 2021.

Deadpool and Wolverine made $38.5 Million on Preview Thursday last year.

I'd put the worldwide total at around $400 Million based off of these numbers, but that's assuming that the European audience is hungry for more race swaps and still cares about Marvel.

That won't be enough. It's still $50 Million short of breaking even off of $180 Million.

We're going to find out eventually that the budget was far more than $180 Million though. That's just what they reported long before the extensive re-shoots that have pushed this thing back time and time again. My guess is this one cost at least as much as The Little Mermaid did.

I don't believe anybody is downloading this for free and watching it, let alone the idea that it actually hit projections and made $88.5 Million in the US, just barely making $150 Million worldwide opening weekend.

The only person I've heard who said they genuinely liked it was Grace Randlolf, and there's never been a Disney movie she disliked.

Oh well. If you don't make your production budget back on opening weekend, and you miss the mark by that much, there's about a zero % chance that you will break even. And with Super Bowl ads on top of all the other marketing they've done we know that they needed at least that $450 Million to break even on their false $180 Million budget figure.

So like I said from the beginning, we won't even have to be privy to what this film actually cost to call it a loser. It's a loser for Disney even at $180 Million, and that should be enough to keep them from making another one or trying to shoehorn in Black Anti-America as the leader of the Avengers going forward.

I downloaded the movie and jumped to random moments to sample it. Every scene was perfect . . . for a comic book movie. Captain America might not be a money-making hit, but it is an excellent comic book movie. Spoiler: Captain America wins and the villain is vanquished to jail where he threatens, during the end credits, that worse villains from the Marvel Cinematic Multiverse are coming to Earth.

Okay, Grace Randolph.

Your duty to your dying woke gods for the day is complete.

Thank you for your service.

The-Numbers:

Quote:
Disney reports a $192.4 million global weekend for Brave New World, and point towards that figure being 4% better than The Winter Soldier. But that comes with some fairly major caveats: it’s ignoring China, and looks as like-for-like markets at current rates. It also ignores the fact that Civil War did far more business internationally.

You're forgetting a big caveat. The Winter Solider came out back in 2014.

$1.00 today was worth $1.34 nine years ago. Winter solder made $95,023,721 domestically on its 3-day opener, which would be $127,510,309 today. This is $27.5 Million more than "Brave New World" made in a 4-day weekend.

Your idiot readers might not know any of this. But Disney suits and their shareholders do.

Quote:
The bottom line is that Brave New World (and by extension the MCU) isn’t a four quadrant movie any more. While the age profile of the audience is fairly evenly split at 55% under 25, 45% over 25, the moviegoers are 63% male, and only 37% female.

And the real bottom line is that, with the exception of Grace Randolph, white women tuned out completely. On Valentines Day, no less.

Who goes to see a comic book movie? Immature males are who. Fat pimply males who don't bathe often and stink up the theater.

The movies are dying because they cost too much, the travel distance to the theater is too far, and movie popcorn is nasty stuff that fell on the floor and was scooped up and covered with fake butter-flavored oil.

The same movie can be watched at home for free and there is no unsanitary food handler sneezing germs into your overpriced snacks and drinks.

Maybe back in 1997.

If you haven't noticed, up until recently Marvel was putting out 2 or 3 billion dollar movies every year. That requires a lot more than cave-dwelling Dungeon and Dragon nerds showing up.

You are an idiot and every single opinion you have is trash not worth the 1's and 0's required to save them for posterity.

I think Donald Trump should sign an executive order requiring all the critics to go back and re-review Black Panther.

We all know that was a mid-tier Marvel movie and shouldn't be at the top of any list. But now that people can say what they really think, we really need to see a 2025 perspective on that piece of woke trash too.

For some reason, the numbers at The-Numbers have been bouncing all around for this one. Last night it said worldwide it had over $190 Million, now it says $180,200,000.

That is the stated budget, so until if and when we know what the actual budget is, this means it needs $450 Million to break even.

Now we just wait and see what the 2nd weekend drop is. If it only drops on the better end of 30%-40% like MCU movies used to, it's probably going to hit that even if the international audience takes a big dip.

Quantumania opened with a larger $106,109,650 on opening weekend in 2023 and saw a 70% drop on Weekend 2.

https://the-numbers.com/movie/Ant-Man-and-the-Wasp-Quantumania-(2023)#
tab=box-office

The Marvels opened with only $46,110,859 and saw a 78% drop on Weekend 2.

https://the-numbers.com/movie/Marvels-The-(2023)#tab=summary

The only Marvel movie to come close to the Golden Age 2nd-week drops in recent years was Deadpool & Wolverine. And even though it grossed $1.3 Billion in the end, even that movie had a 54% drop on the 2nd weekend.

https://the-numbers.com/movie/Deadpool-and-Wolverine-(2024)#tab=box-of
fice

My bet is that Blacktain should will see at least a 60% drop. I don't expect it to have a staggering 78% drop like The Marvels, but a 70% like Quantumania had wouldn't surprise me.

This one possibly doesn't even see $200 Million in the US by the end, and is going to really need that International money to keep flowing.

And at the end of the day, let's be real here. Breaking Even is losing. Nobody wants to invest millions of dollars into something to get a 0% return on that money 2 years later.

Disney/Marvel had better really be working on a plan to fix what they broke if they're not going to just stop making them altogether (which is what they really should do for at least 5 or 10 years).

Nobody wants this bullshit Disney.

Make shit people want, or figure out how to make your DEI projects for under $50 Million.

Or go broke.

That's fine too.
