You need a life if you pay another $20 to watch 30 more minutes of footage.
I probably need a life honestly. I wanted to go see it again in the theater anyway, so this just gives me a good excuse.
That's maybe a little bit harsh. Many people, myself included, sometimes pay to see a movie more than once in the theater even when there ISN'T 30 more minutes of footage. And what about buying movies on DVD or Blu-ray?
$600,000!?! I think they should all break that pretty easily.
The last MCU movie to make less than $600 million (I'm assuming that's what you meant, not $600,000) was Ant-Man in 2015. Nobody expects Infinity War and Endgame numbers, but even if we remove them from the equation, Civil War, Black Panther, and Captain Marvel have all broken a billion. Guardians 2, Homecoming, and Ragnarok all made well over $800 million. So I'm not sure what this $600 million prediction is based on.
Spider-Man: Far From Home = July 2, 2019. I'd say your prediction of no other MCU movie reaching $600,000 has about 2 weeks.
I've heard about California prices, but a $20 movie ticket?!
If you see it in imax or 3D it can be more than that.
Why? If it doesn't, then it shouldn't have earned it. Numbers don't lie, right?
Same reason why TLJ was an Awesomely great Movie right along side those Transformer Movies.Captain Marvel's not a big draw? Based on what? Her movie made over a billion dollars. I promise you Disney execs aren't sitting around saying "You know what, I don't think this whole Captain Marvel thing is gonna work out."Yeah i don't know where I got $600K either. lol I just meant that we likely won't see this kind of turnout for future ensemble Avenger Movies because all the interesting "A" Team Members are gone.
Sure Spidey is still a big draw, and I assume they signed Tom to a multi picture deal. But Cap. Marvel was a bit of a letdown for me, i just don't feel that she's gonna be a very big draw. IDK
Why? If it doesn't, then it shouldn't have earned it. Numbers don't lie, right?
Exactly. And ever since Iron Man, Marvel has been making household names out of characters that no one had ever heard of. As long as they keep hiring the right writers, directors, and actors, I really don't see why they can't keep up that streak.
That's the way things are. When you've been on top for so long, eventually people want to see you fall. I don't understand it, but unfortunately, you see it all of the time.
I think we all need to step outside of ourselves a bit. I'm guilty, from time to time, of assuming everyone is like me and then I realize that the number of people that care as much as I do about Star Wars is incredibly small compared to the number of moviegoers. I didn't care so much for the way they depicted Carol Danvers, but the money they brought in was about more than what she seemed as a comic book character. I think they can evolve her like they did with Thor and be just fine (not turn her into a fat goofball, but make her more likable).
My comment about Avatar was pretty much that. I didn't dislike Avatar (and it was probably the only movie I've seen where I was happy I saw it in 3D) but it's a run of the mill story with incredible visuals... where have I heard that before?Why? If it doesn't, then it shouldn't have earned it. Numbers don't lie, right?
That's true. But it seems like it sometimes comes from weird places when it's directed at the MCU. Often it comes from people who actually appear to be fans of the movies who still seem to think the MCU is going to collapse any minute.
No one wants to pay $20 for 30 more seconds of footage or sit through a 3 hour mediocre movie again.
They probably wouldn't pay for a mediocre movie, no. However, I know if Endgame was re-released here in the UK I for one would absolutely go and see it again on the big screen. Such a great blockbuster film.
Yeah, me too, and probably most everybody else on the planet! But it would be cool to see a once-unheard-of possibility (a comic book movie) being the highest grossing movie ever. And the reason I've mentioned it a few times is because it's (figuratively) pennies away from doing so, compared to what it's made already. I'm not wringing my hands waiting for it to happen LOL (nor would I want anyone to spend money just to break a record), and if it doesn't, no sweat- but it's fun to watch it get close :awesome:
I'm with you there. I was actually interested in going to see it again anyway. The extra footage peaked my interest, but now that I know what the footage is I lost interest. I did like the movie, but as you said... not a top priority.
