Even at Forbes, they're so fucking disingenuous...

Quote:

So, it’s right in that range, and nearly twice as good as the lowest-performing MCU movie ever, The Marvels, which went on to only earn $206 million worldwide. But how does it compare to say, other Captain America movies?

Captain America: The First Avenger - $65 million opening weekend, earned $370 million total
Captain America: The Winter Soldier - $95 million opening, earned $714 million total
Captain America: Civil War - $179 million opening weekend, earned $1.1 billion total

So, it’s number three out of four there for openings.



Nah bitch. You work for Forbes for fuck's sake and you don't know what inflation is?

I already broke those numbers down here, unpaid. It must be nice to be able to write whatever you want and never be fact checked while collecting that bi-weekly severe over-payment for your "services". Dust up that resume. AI will be doing your job soon, and a much better job at that.

Quote:

If its trajectory continues compared to these other Captain America movies, it could end up earning perhaps $600+ million,


It didn't. It won't gross $450 Million.

Quote:

though that assumes word-of-mouth is good enough to carry it further from here


Don't assume, or you make an ass out of Ume.

Quote:

which may not be the case judging by its Cinemascore.


So you did notice the lowest MCU Cinemascore of all time too, although you fail to actually mention that in your article, didn't you?

Quote:

That level of performance, however, would proably be considered at least some level of a success compared to recent Marvel underperformers (then we have Deadpool and Wolverine’s $1.3 billion, of course).


Yeah. $600+ Million would have been considered a success when you needed $450 Million to break even.

Congratulations. That's how math works.


Fortunately for the world, we don't even get to argue about whether or not this was a massive failure now. It clearly is after the 2nd weekend drop and nobody is going to be able to defend it.

The 2025 Box Office is so pathetic that even Bruce got bored.

Yeah. Gotta love articles calling "Brave New World" a "Three-Peat" for winning 3 weekends in a row.

Nobody mentions that the game they were playing was Solitaire.

Nor do they mention that the price to get in the game was $450 Million and the maximum payout for winning is only $400 Million.

its not completely over for Hollyweird they seem to be still scouting and getting foriegn directors who might make money for them

Mickey 17 is expected to win in Australia

but there is a danger SKorea itself could push Hollyweirdos out of the international market if they have continued success at home and have no desire to be part of the weird tinseltown Commiefornia culture

Hollywood doesnt lure and seduce overseas talent like it used to, maybe people are seeing past the illusion

I dunno. Today I'm hearing from a couple of people that Mickey 17 is a anti-Trump rant. I can't watch the videos to see why they say this, because I don't want spoilers to the movie.

I don't know if I believe them though because I feel like at this point some people are going to see everything that comes out as either pro-Trump or anti-Trump no matter what their politics are.

I was just telling my old man that we probably wanted to watch that one. We'd just watched Snowpiercer a while back (under the assumption that it was a sequel to Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory), and we enjoyed it. Then I get an email titled "Too bad" this morning from him with a scathing review.

Mickey 17 could have staying power but not sure if it can make money

but the Hollyweirdo 'message' and general political divide will kill movie experiences

I could have gotten past media messaging and at least given this one a shot, but then I found out Mark Ruffolo is in it. That's a deal breaker.

There's some actors out there I can still suspend disbelief and see whoever they're playing, but not Mark. He's a shitty actor.
