Marvels has had a difficult shoot so I am wishing it the best of luck - I'll be there at the cinema to support
The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU)
- Thread starter Shockbox
- Start date
You explaining it this way makes much more sense. So I hope they go down a route between DaCosta’s style and “Scott Pilgrim”. They did it for Miss Marvel for a quick second then they dropped it.
Can you elaborate on this? I'm intrigued.
I'm hoping for the best but expecting the worst with The Marvels.
Oh wow, that could add a nice chunk to Black Panther’s box office regardless. I assume they’ll hold it back on Disney Plus there, if it’s a thing there?
the last one did 108 million in China, so I guess this one will do about 40-50, so it’ll probably end up just short of a billion like Doctor Strange

Yep that seems pretty likely. It'll probably top out at around $900m total.
Dr Strange 2 being only $48m short of the billion is so frustrating. We all know it has its problems, but there's a lot to enjoy and it's just so close.
I know I'm in the minority that loves the Ant-Man movies over the rest, but this sequel does worry me a bit. I love these films because they're so small in scale compared to the others. This is their first major story so I'm curious if it will still have the humor and sense of fun these films are known for.

It’s what she deserves (along with being fired) for being an alt right conspiracy nutjob
The way she has like little or no lines in the trailer skkssk.
My box office predications for this year's slate:
Ant-Man: 800 million (carried by Kang)
Guardians: 1 billion (I think this will do surprisingly well as the emotional final chapter for the Guardians, if it gets a China release)
The Marvels: 500-600 million.

I just watched(-ish) Ms Marvel and found it great, loved the comic elements to it!
So here for Kang being on my screen for the next 100 movies. That man!
I feel like I'm up to date on all things multiverse so far, but kind of still don't know what's going on or how it works. One big question I have is around how the multiverse 'broke'. Was it Wanda, or something in Loki, or when Peter made that wish in NWH?

I really don't get this fascination with the box office returns or predictions.
Like I'm glad people in China can see a film I enjoyed but . . . What does it actually change?

It's nice to see something you think deserves success get it, or vice versa. That and box office returns do shape the narrative and future of the franchises they push and characters they push to the forefront.
plus I just get nerdy watching and comparing numbers
Yeah it's definitely interesting in terms in how they shape projects and narratives to come. For example, if The Marvels was to somehow do anywhere near the numbers that the first film did, we'd probably see Carol leading the Avengers in Kang's Dynasty as Kevin originally planned. If it does Eternals numbers, then I can see her role throughout the MCU being significantly reduced. Box Office is important in ways that people don't often expect.
Also this is a pop music forum, of COURSE we care about charts.
