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

500m still looking like a best case scenario... so, here's the thing-

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.

So F4 after this weekend just based on domestic is now sitting at $451M WW, according to Numbers -

And based on some other sites like BoxofficeMojo (which I find to be a little more accurate and up-to-date with international sites than Numbers) has it at $468M WW.

So this looks to be spot on, with a potential to go a bit higher -

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

So while certainly not a "smash hit", one can take positives away from this result. And I'm sure Disney has as it looks toward Doomsday in 2026.

It seems for now Disney/MCU have put all their eggs in the ensemble basket; the only publicly announced films on the horizon are the two Doomsday Avengers films and the Sony Spider-Man one.

I expect Spider-Man to do well. People really seem to love Holland's character.

It will be interesting to see what happens with future Spider-Man movies after the next (last) Tom Holland film, he’s been insanely popular in that role. It will also be interesting to see if Sony continues to partner with Marvel Studios or if they go back to solo projects since the MCU is struggling and currently doesn’t have the same drawing power it once did.

I expect No Way Home to be a huge box office hit but with so many “blockbusters” falling short this year I have no idea what to expect, I give it even chances at $2 billion or $500 million, my guess is $1b+ but nothing would surprise me anymore.

I’ve already heavily lowered my Avengers predictions south of $700 million but maybe they’ll surprise me, buck the trend, and return the MCU to the glory days. I was looking at the character cast the other day and it’s half huge names and half people I’ve barely heard of, it will be interesting to see how they manage a cast of dozens of main characters.

I guess now’s as good a time as any to officially admit I was wrong about fantastic 4 making a billion dollars in theaters.

That’s not your fault. Things are what they are…it was reasonable to think it would be a big hit…because Disney tries to present everything as such. It was never gonna be. Both recent and not so recent history tells us that

I could see this somewhere between $750M - $1 billion. But the production reports have me worried it may be closer to your guess.
