$155M feels quaint now that it's out of the top ten biggest openings, but in 2007 that's a crazy amount.
It's why that Entourage joke is so dated. $116M is seen as the biggest opening ever, when nowadays it's, like, 30th largest.

Like the Entourage movie?

I don't even like his movies that often but that dude knows the market and knows how to make money.
Good to hear about Holland since we'll be getting a lot more of him
I'm hoping for that extra push. I bet $130m and was purposefully overestimating because that's what I wanted to happen. Haha.

What does it say when they're making Sex and the City 3 but Entourage 1 barely happened.

They were trying to grab your prize. They work for the mercenary. The masked man.
No......
I heard him talking on a radioshow about his business plan. Dude is self aware and all about putting his people on. He sent his buddy to business school and now dude works at Sony. He put Lil Rel(TSA Agent from Get Out) on too.
I thought you were kidding, why????????
It's easy to forget all three made bank.
The first is still the highest grossing origin movie worldwide at $820m and may never be topped.
Wonder Woman will probably be the first origin movie to beat it domestically (it's held that record for fifteen years).

Speaking of long standing records, I wonder if any solo movie can top The Dark Knight's domestic run. Gap from Iron Man 3 to The Dark Knight is around $125M.
I can't see any team-up movie topping $533m at the box office anytime soon much less a solo.
So, is Homecoming like legit great, or is like Marvel great where everyone loses their shit for the movie for awhile, and then you watch it, and you're like this is pretty decent but not really that great and everyone is like, yeah, it wasn't that great like I originally said but it's still pretty good, though, right, and you're like, yeah, it is pretty decent? Is it actually worth a theater watch?

I doubt Woder Woman can end with 404+ million.

You have already decided the answer to this question.
If I had, I wouldn't have asked.
The latter.

You think it's going to be okay. You wouldn't have gone through typing all that if you didn't think it was going to be okay. The question is whether anyone can convince you otherwise, which I kinda doubt, since you've already decided that everyone is going to say it's great even though it's just okay.

I can't believe a Marvel film and Spiderman reboot with RDJ on the ticket only pulled 12m more opening than Wonder Woman (which was arguably weighed down by the DC stigma And the female superhero stigma).
Pretty happy Spidey opened well and even happier the showing that WW is having.
Boy, those Marvel shields come up quick lol.
Cool, thanks for the actual answer.
But you literally just prov.....nvr mind.
I do do improv.

No it's shit, don't see it, go watch something good and support true cinema by watching, uh..
One sec
*ruffles through local listings for indie movie theaters in Philadelpha*
...Beatriz at Dinner!
It's a good movie. It's fun, but I will say I have no desire to watch it again. I'm probably more excited to see where they go in the sequel.
For me, definitely a decent movie that's being overhyped. But I liked Thor 2 before it was a gaf meme, so what do I know.
Is Keaton as great as I imagine him to be?

I know the folly of over-predicting Marvel movies, but returning Avengers + Guardians + Spider-Man/Black Panther/Doctor Strange/Ant-Man, and the possibility of RDJ's last outing as Iron Man? Surely that has to top it.
He's really good. Stand out performance.
He's great. There's one scene where you definitely feel the tension between him and Spider-man. It's intense.
Just wait until Marvel busts out a solo film for the hero that America deserves
Razorback is a mutant, so you will have to talk to Fox
I can see Infinity War's opening weekend topping $200m but the final gross still being sub-$500m. I think it's going to be front loaded as fuck.

Spider-Man is weighed down by a similar Spider-Man stigma. It's a solid opening given how down the series was since Spider-Man 3. Amazing's opening weekend was $62 million. Amazing 2 was $91 million. Homecoming is above everything Spider-Man except 3.
You can look at estimates and Spider-Man was pretty much where everyone expected. Even our average here was $118 million.
Doesn't change Wonder Woman having them Deadpool-style legs, but yeah, Spider-Man is in line with what we all thought. No surprises there.
It'll BvS out, even being good. Big, big opening week/weekend, and then petering off from there. Unless it's AMAZING.

If Infinity War opens somewhere around the first two Avengers movies and actually has good legs, it will beat that. The thing is that each of the May releases since the first Avengers hasn't had that great of legs, and I'm not sure whether I think that's the quality movies or the release date. Basically, even if it opens at Avengers 1 level and gets the best legs they've had in the first weekend of May slot since then (GOTG Vol. 2), I believe that doesn't get it there.
is it the "We can be gentlemen or we can get into some gangsta shit" scene?
Marvel hiring is undefeated at this point. Even their bad hires turn out fine.

He is. He reminds me of Michael Shannon as Zod in Man of Steel. An actor going all in to elevate a so-so written character.
I'm sensing a pattern. Michael Fassbender is great as Magneto. Michael Clarke Duncan as Kingpin was the best part of that 2003 Daredevil. Michael B Jordan is looking dope as Killmonger. You got Michael McElhatton rumored to play Darkseid and Michael Mando is coming up. Gotta find more Michaels to play comic book villains.

The two directors they've fired/allowed to quit off of movies have made two of the top 5 movies of this summer (Wright and Jenkins).

That even the directors that didn't work out very clearly had it in them to deliver the goods.

That scene was hard as hell.
These are my thoughts almost exactly. Holland was fantastic but the movie isn't very memorable IMO plus I've had about enough of RDJ as Iron Man. Time for some new blood.
That whole chunk starting 5 minutes before that was good.

Eh I'd argue that Alan Taylor ended up being a pointless choice. I was excited at first because I liked his episodes of Game of Thrones, but then he brought nothing at all to the table in 2 Dark 2 Worldious and barely even participated in post-production.
But I don't think it's a coincidence that every director since Taylor either already made a sequel or has one in the pipeline. They did a good job and Feige's bringing them all back to continue the story.
Yes and yes. Worth a theater watch for sure.
