Unfortunately for the 2 or 3 posters who constantly misrepresent the box office they'll never use a formula shown to be more accurate because they have a narrative to continue, for reasons. And they've pretty much already admitted to that. And that the only way there is nothing to "talk" about for them is for Disney movies to "over perform" in theaters so they have nothing to cling onto, because it'll be a clear "success" in their mind. Its clear they only value the box office, because anything else doesn't make sense to them, a very "old school" thought process, even though we've all discussed the paradigm shift that is currently happening.
So nothing new then.
Why?
The goal of MCU is to make money, set up sequels and crossovers and sell branded product and tie ins.

Not eek out a break even
I see it’s a Monday again
It’s more of a reminder to others not to move the wheels on the goalposts to make nice for daddy Bob
Because it's good. Not much negative about the film either critically or with audiences, which is somewhat rare these days with Disney films. That usually translates to a pretty big box office.
No-one here cares about "daddy Bob". You're pretty much the only person who keeps bringing him up.
Making excuses for bad Disney product is the same thing
With All due respect the thing you don’t seem to understand is that the product is not 100 percent bad in the eyes of everyone. And I know you’re going to respond to this with some (probably flimsy) metric that tries to prove that the majority of people aren’t happy. But that’s not what we’re talking about. We’re talking about people who you constantly say are “making excuses” we are not. We defend the product we like and criticize the product we don’t.Making excuses for bad Disney product is the same thing
This thread is A minefield with those buried everywhere
And the day is young
Disney is a mass market product
I think Disney makes movies they want to make and hope for the best.
Woah…I think Disney makes movies they want to make and hope for the best.
Sometimes they make money, sometimes they lose money.
No worries, they have the theme park revenue to pay for it
Well it looks like that from an outsider looking in....
And you couldn't be further off in what modern Hollywood actually is today, in a post-pandemic streaming world. As noted previously in a direct quote from the earnings, Disney is aware and accepts the box office IS NOT the profit center for a movie anymore. They accept and expect that a movie in general isn't going to make its money back during theatrical. That its new profit center is post-theatrical. And so they set the movie up for that purpose.
