Thanks, I will. I didn't realize there was a spoiler thread.

You are welcome frankly I don’t know why so many people are still using this thread we can discuss the movie itself in the spoiler thread and the box office in that thread only thing left to do is argue with Mickey Mouse 10 about the budget

That is all this thread is for now it appears.

I guess you'll only except shills then.

I don't know how many examples you guys need. You are lucky for this one. Since they didn't filmed in the U.K, they can hide the numbers. And you'll believe whatever they say for a budget.

But not so much with Snow White and a slew of others. Many of the past ones have already been unveiled.

Dr Strange 2 - 200 million (actual budget - 415 million)
Antman and the Wasp: Quantumania- 200 million (actual budget - 330 million)
The Marvels - 200 million (actual budget - 374 million)

Who cares?

Domestic Numbers​	Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania​	Captain America: Brave New World​
1st Friday	$46,431,851 / $46,431,851​	$40,912,377 / $40,912,377​
1st Saturday	$33,903,657 / $80,335,508​	$27,719,411 / $68,631,788​
1st Sunday	$25,774,142 / $106,109,650​	$20,210,815 / $88,842,603​
1st Monday	$14,284,967 / $120,394,617​	$11,178,411 / $100,021,014​
1st Tuesday	$7,078,521 / $127,473,138​	$6,320,276 / $106,341,290​
1st Wednesday	$3,859,533 / $131,332,671​	$3,419,116 / $109,760,406​

So? Ant Man 3 should have done better than Cap 2.0. It was 3rd in a series and part of a huge larger story. Ant Man 2 followed a successful #1.

And it’s Captain America, whether you like it or not.

Disney/Marvel Studios’ Captain America: Brave New World at 4,105 is seeing a second Friday of $7.5M for a take in the mid to high $20Ms. Among Disney MCU movies, The Marvels owns the worst second weekend drop at -78% off a B CinemaScore. Brave New World was B-. At $29M, that’s a -67% decline. Running ten-day total by EOD Sunday at the high end resides at $142M.

If Team No wins: Team Yes must use an avatar from a Marvel/Disney movie that made under $130M at the box office for one month.

1. Bet Deadline: You have until February 13th to join. After midnight EST on February 14th, no new participants.

2. Winning Condition: If the movie passes $600M worldwide by March 30th, Team Yes wins. If not, Team No wins. Official results are declared on March 30th regardless of projections.

Final Estimate:

• Low end: $400M–$450M total worldwide (if it follows The Marvels’ weak legs).

• High end: $500M+ (if it holds better like Quantumania).

• $600M+ seems unlikely unless the international market unexpectedly overperforms.

• $600M+ seems unlikely unless the international market unexpectedly overperforms.

It’s already tracking better, not to mention opening better, than Marvels. So it would have to completely fall of the cliff for it to end up the same or worse than Marvels. So still $500M-$600M is more likely, over $600M possible but less likely.

Simpler to copy/paste than actually do real reporting. Definition of just “phoning” it in for a paycheck.

There seems to be a trend of "content providers" trying to be all things to all people and failing badly at it. This is especially true for media that used to be concentrated on one topic trying to cover... everything.

For example, why the hell is Forbes putting out articles on pop culture when they're a business magazine? And why is their 'reporter' obsessed with Disney movies and parks? It's a 'reporter' who has a general B.A. and "writes about travel." In other words... a blogger.

But because she's printed in Forbes (online), it gives her blogs a air of journalism. But she just writes about the things other people write about because she's not doing first-hand journalism.

When a real news organization wants to report on 'everything,' they hire real experts in the field and expect them to do real journalism (that is, initiate conversations with contacts). Otherwise, the articles they write get relegated to the Op Ed section.

But there's a growing trend for all these specialist websites (and print media) to increase subscriptions by writing about everything... even when they don't have staff that has the competency, credentials, or the journalistic ethics to do so.

It used to be that when print media wanted to report on 'everything,' they relied not on an in-house blogger to summarize what they see in other blogs and news sources, but on basically reprinting what Reuters or other real news providers offered.

When I read such articles, I want to know: 1. What's your source? And, 2. Did you confirm what your source told you from other sources? I understand keeping sources anonymous, and so, real journalists have to resort to "someone high in the organization said..." or "documents we've seen..." As their actual, real, insider source.

But these are *not* sources:

• It's been rumored...
• Some are saying...
• It's an open secret...
• Many are saying...
• Watchers are theorizing...

One can find any blogger or vlogger or non-journalistic news 'reporter' to say whatever it is you agree with. Quoting them doesn't make your gut instincts right. Quoting what they said was their reliable sources said makes you right.
