I was told there is a PB&J cup. I have yet to try it though.
Yep, strawberry version and a grape version.

There’s also soon to be a Reese’s/Oreo combo:

So much for "horror fatigue." Of course, the second another horror film underperforms, people will immediately start posting about it again.

It all just depends on the film.
lol, it hasn’t been just about one single horror film underperforming, several underperformed in a row in my opinion and started showing a trend. Which is why I commented on it in the first place as a discussion topic.

As we’ve been told about superhero movies just because a few find success doesn’t mean there isn’t fatigue.

Overall I’m happy Weapons has done well, I saw it last night myself. But doesn’t mean there hasn’t been a trend forming. And maybe the idea is more about horror franchises rather than the entire genre, maybe that is where the real fatigue comes in.

But hey it’s just my opinion, and I’m fine if people disagree. As always we’ll all be here to discuss.

F4 is currently at $442M, possibly to get to $450M this weekend with just domestic with who knows how much added from international. So could be looking at $455M-$460M WW to start next week.

To me it looks like F4 could end its run in a couple weeks somewhere between $485M-$510M.

And while not setting a box office records (and certainly disappointing compared to many other MCU movies over the years).... It does look between this movie and Thunderbolts that there could be some thawing of the freeze many in the general public was putting on the MCU. So that could bode well for Spider-Man (usually a crowd pleaser anyways) and Doomsday next year and Secret Wars in 2027.

Thunderbolts made less than Cap 4 and is the 5th lowest grossing MCU film. Or are you just meaning the generally positive reception?

I expect Spider-Man to do well. People really seem to love Holland's character. Even if it only made half of the last movie it'd still be close to a billion, which is just crazy. No clue about the others though

I'm talking about the general positive reaction obviously.

The ensemble movies have always done well, so I expect Doomsday and Secret Wars to do well also. Now we can debate what "well" means, Endgame level probably not but similar to Age of Ultron.

Right on. The F4 comment talked about the box office so that’s what threw me off. I get it now.

Current weekend estimates:

Weapons $25 million (43% drop, better than most horror movies)

Freakier Friday $14 million (51% drop). $54 million domestic after 10 days

Fantastic Four $8.7 million (45% drop, it's best hold to date, but still not great considering how low that number is)

Superman $5.1 million (36% drop, early digital sales likely not having huge impact)

F1 still in top 10 as of these estimates
