I really liked it, myself, too.Nice chart. It's hard being an Eternals fan. I genuinely think it's one of the MCU's better movies and love the tone/story/concepts/themes/atmosphere and most of the characters. But everyone hates it.
My only gripe is that they should have teamed up with the sentient Deviant as they were all in rebellion against the Celestial.

Yeah thematically, it would have made more sense for the Eternals to realize that they are pawns of the Celestial just like the Deviants. They could have formed a truce realizing they have more in common with each other than they realized.
I would have also liked Eternals to be about 30 minutes longer with more time spent in the ancient past establishing their relationships.
The biggest issue I have with the film is I feel like we knew many of the characters only in broad strokes and were told — not shown — how much they care for each other. I know there are a lot of deleted scenes but I imagine Marvel figured most audiences wouldn't want a 3-hour movie.

Let's just leave it at "It wasn't a film that most people enjoyed"

Guardians 2 got an A? Yuck! It's one of my least favorites.
This was a great movie! Sure, it was a little disjointed in spots, mostly transitions. The story was great. Any editing things I fully attribute to the truncated post-production period it had. Letitia was PHENOMENAL!!! But great move! Not sure exactly where I'd place in my favorites but it's definitely between 4 and 7 on my list. I have to decide whether I like it more than Infinity War, Shang Chi, and Avengers (5, 6, and 7 for me).

What's funny is they don't even mention that WF did better on its opening Friday than the first BP, $84M versus $75.9M respectively.
So it'll be interesting to see how the rest of the weekend plays out, but I still think they're low balling their predictions.

It's not unusual for Disney to intentionally lowball predictions so they can get headlines about how a movie "exceeded" expectations.
I think it will be more telling what kinds of legs it has vs if it is front loaded. Clearly a success. The differences is will it surpass other big Marvel sequels once other big releases are there to actually complete with it vs the only major release from a major property and major pushed studio with real world post mortem around it.

Are the Deadline reported predictions coming from Disney or another source, I expect another source? Because Variety has it higher at $185-200M, which are more in-line with what I'm predicting. If they were all reporting the same numbers then I would assume they were coming from Disney.

Ya MisterPenguins Chart because of the coloring really makes it stand out like a turd. Eternals I thought was pretty enjoyable, but you’d think it was like infinitely the worst movie Marvel has ever produced based on the reaction.
It would have been better served as a D+ miniseries event with an extra 30-60 minute of content. But they had Angelina Jolie stars in their eyes.

The next move trolls make (because they realize they have limited credibility to scream in the wind when everyone but them has actually seen the movie)… is to lie that they saw it. Or lead with how someone forced them or paid for them to maintain the moral high ground. But usually lie that they saw it.
Or I guess slink away.
I’m waiting with bated breath.

Which is how everyone felt after seeing Eternals.
Yeah, its funny how a lot of people said that. Which kinda amounts to...
"I didn't like it, but I would have loved to have seen twelve hours of it stretched out as a weekly series!"

Yes, I have never criticized Disney at all on these boards. Besides, I need to make sure I still get my checks to be a shill for Disney.
Ad hominem.
Because our opinion doesn't match yours, you have to come up with some reason why that's the case. And so you're basically accusing us of blind loyalty as the only possible reason why we don't hate the things you hate.
It's a fallacy.
You expressed your opinion, there is no need to disparage ours. Doing so over and over again is troll-bait. And it's another example of you breaking the Terms of Service with non-constructive posts.

$180 million opening weekend
BUT Disney ALWAYS underestimates Sundays for big blockbusters of this caliber. It could rise by $5 when all the "hanging chads" are counted, so to speak (for those who remember what hanging chads are lol-no it's not an "alpha" male hanging out at movie theatrers LOL).
