Whew, Deadline had it at 110m on a 42-45M Friday. Looking like 120+ is definitely possible now

It's insane the run that Marvel is on. Never seen a studio so consistently put out winners.
I wonder when they will actually have their first real miss at the Box Office. Whenever that happens I can only imagine what the threads will look like.

I sooo wanna see this again tomorrow, but I fear getting tickets is gonna be a nightmare. Specially since I'm not exactly sure at what time of the day or night I'll have the free time to go watch it.
My sister could only find front row seats for an IMAX 3D (lol rip) showing out all the theaters they checked for tickets for tonight.

Oh definitely.
You know there are a lot of people salivating, waiting for that to happen.

They were trying to grab your prize. They work for the mercenary. The masked man.
I think people get some of that stuff out of their system in the Marvel TV threads.

Definitely won't be before Infinity War. Ant-Man sequel, Thor and Black Panther should be fine
Maybeeeeeee Captain Marvel? If not then a new property in the next phase. I could see them struggling to keep interest when all the original heroes are retired
It'll happen someday. But we all know the GOAT was BvS's review thread. If one thread was preserved after Trump nukes us all, it'd be that i'd vote for. Confidence, Optimism, that one moment when reality hit, the 5 stages of loss, the 'I Prefer Armond White's opinions anyways', the despair. Good thing the Extended cut improved things.

I'm sure there are, but at the same time, nobody should want to see Marvel Studios fanatics in full meltdown mode. Like asking for Hulk to fully lose control. You get hints of it here and there and you realize just how bad it'll be.

I have never seen an audience more shellshocked in a theater then when the Inhumans trailer played at my IMAX screening.
People were confused and had no clue what they were looking at, they were borderline concerned. That deal is going to do absolutely nothing good to the Marvel brand.

Could we technically count it as part of us AND the TV threads since it's going to be shown in cinemas at the start?
I'm going with this as well. Don't care how unreasonable it is.
Going all out I see.
I will continue to pray for a swift cancellation.
The Inhumans have been through enough humilation already. Least ABC can do is put one quick bullet right in the brain after a week or two.

That'd be more crossover than the Marvel movies and TV shows ever had.
As long as we never acknowledge the TV threads then sure.
Eh, if it's bad, it'll fade away and people will forget about it because it's a random Friday night show. People won't even care about a 2-week limited theater run.
If it's good, then it's a pleasant surprise and we can all be happy.
You're telling me they didn't like the iconic original character: 'Black Buck' (tm)?
imma keep calling him that untill its sticks.

I cannot comprehend paying to watch that in IMAX. If anything, that trailer made me think it'd be decent viewing on a smart watch.

You cannot convince me that wasn't Slayven pulling some Alex Jones performance art shit.
Yeah it's really a huge factor ( and not only for new IP ) right now at least in the US.

Avengers could be coming off the single best run of films they've put out yet if Thor and BP deliver like I expect them to. The first flop could be a long way away.
That was gordon

It's what happens between him blacking out and waking up in a pile of Hal x Carol fan art scribbled on Cicis Pizza receipts.
Cut everything until Iron Man shows up in Germany. Replace it with Peter miming the story in a mirror.
It's already a thing but it bumps movies in the opposite direction.

Every time I see "Bronson Bump" I think he's pregnant.
Pregnant with shit taste in movies
You are completely and totally wrong. I just saw the movie, and you're wrong.
I just saw the most complete and perfect representation of Spider-Man ever filmed.
Man. It's been a while since I've double dipped on opening weekend, but this movie has me thinking about it.
This movie deserves a $200 million opening weekend. It's that good.

This I agree with. Can't watch anything before the helicarrier now

Yeah, i'm being hyperbolic. Still my favorite CBM film. Such a tight pace all the way through. I still love the member-by-member recruitment scenes. Such a great way to pull newcomers into the whole thing.

If Spidey somehow scraped up a $50 million Friday that would be pretty crazy. Doesn't seem impossible with some saying high 40s.

It was my first time seeing the Inhumans trailer and yikes. Me and my brother just thought "wow they're really gonna put this crap in theaters. " Thankfully Thor and Black Panther trailers were shown and saved the day.

The opening scene of The Avengers is worth it just for the build-up to the second best title card reveal in film history.
(The first best is Creed. God it's so hype.)
(The first best is Creed. God it's so hype.)
I don't dislike the intro, but it's the only sequence where I think the "MCU looks like TV" meme rings true.
Well that, and the scene in Germany, which is straight up horrendous.
People say this about almost every blockbuster ever made. Films are expensive to make. $175M is not even high end for a blockbuster anymore. Factoring in USD inflation, this is the cheapest Spider-man movie ever.
