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 changes the fundamental decisions behind what movies you get to see and the ones that get shelved.

And with China back on the board, it means the potential for a lot more money to be made, given that it's the 2nd biggest movie market. Movies that might have only pulled a middle of the road box office, could potentially add an extra 1, 2, or $300m. That helps shape the future direction of the phases. There's the importance of pushing into the next $$ bracket too. There's a big difference in optics between a final number with a 7 in front of it and one with an 8, and equally a massive difference between a $900m movie and a billion dollar movie. Getting a massive movie market back in play is a huge deal for Feige.

I wonder if China will show Guardians and The Marvels. I feel like there might be some gayness in the latter which will hinder its chances. The first made 150 million there.

China does take a much larger cut vs other territories so its best viewed as a top up/bonus but evidently Disney have worked hard to build bridges given Avatar managed to get an extension beyond the usual 4 week period and Marvel is back in the fold

Yeah I don't think The Marvels will make the cut. Everything about it screams that it's being made for the gays.

Guardians might though, depending on how low brow some of the humour is. They liked the first 2 movies, they made around $100m each there.

Joe Locke, our new Wiccan, has posted this from the set of what seems to now be "Agnes of Westview". I'm with Grace on this though, "Coven of Chaos" is way better.



EDIT: OoOoooh I like the suggestion in the replies that it's an episode title, and they're continuing with the TV show theme, as it's the same font and layout as the Mare of Easttown logo.

This is easily at the top of my most anticipated MCU list, along with the Avengers movies.

Jeremy Renner appears to be out of hospital and making good recovery. But it’ll be a long road for him and he may never fully recover.
There also seems to be a video taken right after the accident where you can hear him crying out in agony which makes me very uneasy.

Im sure the "Agnes of Westview" is the shooting name for the series. I hope there are some actual set photos caught but I'm sure it'll be all on backlots and such. Still very excited to see what they do with this one as it feels very "for the gays".

The name on the seat does not = name of the show

Yeah we all know that it can be different, but usually the name on the chair or the clipboard is different when the actual project hasn't officially been announced or is heavily under wraps. But the logo for this show was already revealed, so it's a bit unusual to have different logos/names printed on set at this point.

Hence, the episode title theory making a lot of sense.

Is it though? It's great marketing! The show will not come out for a year and people are already speculating and buzzing. Give Joe a raise Disney!!!

As much as I could see Disney wasting money on such a stupid and small thing, I doubt they are making individual seat backs for each episode. They could use that money to maybe pay their VFX people a little more... It's probably just the shooting name for the show.
