Captain America 4

Usual actors in here talking about other users speech and not the subject of the thread. Always trying to silence people in every, single, thread.

Aaaaaaanyways... no one I know has any interest whatsoever to see this film so I wont be seeing it. Seems to be the MO these days regarding Marvel let alone anything Disney. Amazing how back in the day we would purposefully avoid spoilers and try to see the latest film as soon as possible...

That’s how you decide which films to see?

My film going has always been a social experience. I enjoy seeing and talking about films (especially action flicks etc.) with my friends and family.

Certainly a healthier way to do things compared to those who see things for virtue signalling agenda reasons.

Last movie I saw in a theatre was Alien Romulus. I liked it overall, but it had script issues that bogged it down.

IMO their concern should be the climactic Avengers team-up is going to be met with a shrug or indifference by the people who made Endgame the huge hit that it was.

IMO they should not have to do a repeat. We don’t need 40 stories from film & TV all merging into one huge thing 10 years from now.

The Avengers movies were good, but not life changing or anything. They pulled it off once. Cool.

I’m not sure how healthy it is to believe people see films for virtue signaling agenda reasons. Maybe they are just a bit more open to trying something different.

So seeing a film because one wants to even if its not part of a social experience is now "virtue signalling"?!? Wow, that is a new one to me.

Just an FYI, you're defending a poster who literally comes into these threads and trolls with misinformation clogging them up. This isn't about silencing people, its about troll squashing, ie a normal part of every forum on the planet.

I think you’re missing the point. The idea is that people are going to films they don’t actually want to see because they have a virtue signaling agenda.

Maybe it’s the same people who keep going to WDW even though they have a miserable time there.

Yeah I got that, even worse though when you phrase like that, as it makes it clear its even more outlandish of a claim.

I mean while there might be a very small, and I mean very small minority, that may go see a movie to support some cause that is not the vast majority of movie goers.

It's ultimately a pointless film. I only saw it in the cinema because someone asked me to go. Otherwise, I would have waited for streaming. It's not bad in a way that is entertaining like Madam Web. It's just mediocre and not very interesting. It's also very disjointed and relies on too much exposition. I'd be curious to know about the reshoots. The film seems like there were more ideas and things going on that were stripped out.

All superhero movies are pointless. They’re just fun.

Unlike all the other superhero films that make a deep and meaningful point.

Devil's advocate: This is because we've settled for what the MCU regularly puts on offer. There are loads of superhero comics that have a point to them, people just haven't attempted to make movies like that for the most part. The masses are instead satisfied simply by the mere fact of seeing character X on the screen.

 

[Agent H]

Why are we suddenly saying superhero movies have no heart? I have absolutely been taken on an emotional roller coaster by superhero movies before

You wanna bet?

With all due respect how was madam web “bad in a way it was entertaining”? It may be one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen!

I don’t take it so seriously.

I thought it would hold better, but this bickering and hair splitting over whether it hits the magic number of $425 million globally ignores the obvious fact that Disney doesn't green light a movie like Captain America 4 to just break even in the theatrical window.

Just for clarity, I was bickering about a hyperbolic budget.

The movie isn’t a success. It’s also not really a major failure in the classical sense. It just sort of disappointingly is. I think the company was quite worried about it in the last 18 months.

 

[MagicMouseFan]

My opinion only,

Based on its current performance and comparisons with similar MCU films, I’m projecting a domestic theatrical run of $185 million to $195 million and a global total of $370 million to $400 million.

I included the strong opening, 68% second-week drop and B- CinemaScore. The B- CinemaScore is lowest for any MCU movie.

Cap won’t have the legs compared to animated films, which average a multiplier of 3.61 versus Marvel's 2.58.

I initially thought this movie would do over 600 million.

 

[TalkingHead]

You wanna bet?

You think the next Avengers movie is going to do $3.4 billion which is what Endgame made when adjusted for inflation?

Better question is will it do a third of Endgame’s sales?
