Captain Marvel is just mad Thanos didn't wipe out the entire male population in the universe and she's gonna beat him up for it. That's all I see.

As the Captain Marvel movie is set in the 1990s, they have designed a 1990s style website, which is hilariously awful/awesome. Those colors!!

Projections for this movie (they're only projections and could end up being wrong, but it's what we have) have reportedly plummeted.

I wonder how they do those projections. Is there science behind it, or is it someone's wild guess?

To me, a possible $80 million drop seems newsworthy and not something to deride. You should feel free to continue to minimize it if you wish, though. Either way, as I said, it's what we have now. It could be a harbinger, as was the case with the Ghostbusters reboot. It could also be either overcome (as in the case of the relatively slow start for Aquaman over the holidays) or wrong (low projection number is blown past). |

You can definitely see the middle-aged male reaction in this thread, though. Get back in the kitchen, Danvers. And what the **** are those? Shoes? |

I'm not really seeing your issue here. Projections are about income, not movie quality. Shitty movies make money. Good movies tank. It happens all the time.

And even then, are we actually trying to imply that a $100m opening is weak? That's what Wonder Woman did. If Captain Marvel is received as well as Wonder Woman, that would be a huge success for Marvel in my mind. |

Last trailer I saw for this looked much better. I may yet see it in the theaters. Guess it will depend on how initial reactions look.

I don't know why I care enough to really look into this, but just for the record, early predictions for Black Panther were in the $100m to $120m range. It ended up closer to $200m.
http://collider.com/black-panther-bo...d-predictions/ So in summary, I don't know why anyone cares about predictions since they seem to be a ballpark estimate that is often wrong on huge scale. |
