There's no accounting for taste.

We hear it every day.
I'm so glad that Brie Larson was the first empowered female that was ever in a movie.
It's so good to see women finally get the representation that they deserve since they're so much more than just housewives and baby makers.
Shut the fuck up.

Trolls Band Together is predicted to make $25M-$33M on opening weekend.
So even if The Marvels only lost -47% from Opening Weekend, it's getting beat by a kid movie and will take 3rd place on its second weekend with the low-end prediction for Trolls.
If Trolls opens with $33 Million, The Marvels can only drop -27% from Opening weekend for 2nd place behind Songbirds and Snakes.
Wouldn't it be funny if Trolls pulls a Five Nights at Freddy's and beats both of them this weekend?
Go take your kids to see Trolls Band Together this weekend playing at a theater near you!

Almost dinner time and Disney still hasn't put out the Wednesday numbers?
It didn't just suffer the post Cheap Seat Tuesday drop that Five Nights at Freddy's did opening week, did it?
That would be catastrophic.

You may be right.
BoxOfficePro predicts a -65% drop for The Marvels in the 2nd weekend with only $16 Million this weekend.

Good news for people who wanted to see this crash and burn. Bad news probably for people who also wanted to see Songbirds and Snakes crash and burn.
Looks like Rachel Zegler destroys Disney profits whether she's working for them or not.
Everybody go see Trolls!

Oh. Hello Marvels Wednesday Box Office.
$1,789,239 or -46% from Cheap Seat Tuesday on Opening Weekend.
Five Nights at Freddy's dropped -48% from Cheap Seat Tuesday on Opening Weekend to $2,739,750.
It was kind of a joke at first because I really couldn't imagine that The Marvels would lose to Five Nights at Freddy's, but this is starting to become a real possibility despite it costing at least 12 times as much to make (that we know of) and the fact that FNAF was available to stream for free since day one.
The Marvels Domestic Box Office after Day 6: $53,573,419
Five Nights at Freddy's Domestic Box Office after Day 6: $92,086,180
You'd better hope you get astounding international numbers going forward, Disney.

($14.8M) Top Gun: Maverick 1st Wednesday
($12.4M) Top Gun: Maverick 2nd Wednesday
($6.6M) Top Gun: Maverick 3rd Wednesday
($5.5M) Top Gun: Maverick 4th Wednesday
($4.3M) Top Gun: Maverick 5th Wednesday

I guess Nia DaCosta lost her mind the other day and went on an anti-white/anti-male tirade for her movie failing as hard as it is.
'‘The Marvels’ Director Nia DaCosta Describes Critics Of Woke Marvel As “Virulent And Violent And Racist And Sexist And Homophobic”'

I take back any nice things I said about her.
Fuck her. Fuck her movie. Fuck her career.
I will never watch a movie that she directs.
By the way, bitch. Your movie made only $1.2 Million on Thursday. You're going to have your first sub-Million day on day 11 just like Blue Beetle did. Good luck hitting $200 Million worldwide.
And good luck trying to get 3rd place this weekend. Thanksgiving is right on your tail and it was playing in 1,310 theaters less than your shit was. You might drop to 4th place by the time the weekend is over.

They should have actor's and director's classes on how to properly respond to a movie they were involved with bombing, and make Iman Vellani (Ms. Marvel) the teacher.
Her response to the movie failing:
Quote:
I don't want to focus on something that's not even in my control, because what's the point? That's for Bob Iger. [The Box Office] has nothing to do with me. I'm happy with the finished product, and the people that I care about enjoyed the film.
See. Was that so hard?
It could even easily be argued that she got her digs in there too, but with enough savvy that one could easily dismiss anybody claiming that she did as being paranoid or just simply twisting words.
"the people that I care about enjoyed the film."
Does she mean her family and friends? Or does she mean anybody who isn't white and male?
Don't know.
But until I see her going on some sexist, racist tirade like Nia DaCosta just did this week, I'm more than willing to give her the benefit of the doubt.
Aside from this single remark, I've never heard her opinions on anything or heard her speak in public (Something else that she should teach in the class). She seems like a sweet kid and from any clips of the movie that I've seen with her in it, she seemed to really have fun playing the role. And unlike Brie Larson and whoever the black actress is, she isn't afraid to smile.
I feel bad for her that her first big movie and the Disney+ TV show failed so hard. Hopefully this experience doesn't tank her acting career and she ditches Disney and goes on to make some good movies with another outfit like Universal.
