Lol, by that measure almost every Hollywood movie has the "pretty person eye candy" draw.

Not necessarily
There’s alot of “looks”…but draw is more than that…
But I get it…this movie has found that unique horror niche

She has cameos in Black Widow, Wakanda Forever, and then in Falcon/Winter Soldier.
This will be the first movie where its more than a cameo.

Seeing some good word of mouth from some of the common people on some Discords I'm on re: Thunderbolts*
"Wow, Thunderbolts* was actually great. Watching it genuinely made me care about the MCU again. Quality-wise, it felt in line with a lot of the good phase 3 movies."
"Thunderbolts* was very very good! Probably top 3 post Endgame Marvel movies. Genuinely got moved in one scene. Definitely recommend"
"Just got out of Thunderbolts* - excellent movie, very fun, tackles several big topics without cramming it down your throat."

Good to hear! I always have hope movies do well, at least break even.

It indisputably is.
By the way, since you’re all about the numbers, Deadline had a series on the most profitable blockbusters of 2024.
The top 3 are all Disney.

Hey post that 6 more times so 3 of you can like it
Was that point being argued?
Nope…not once
So let me recap:
This entire watchdog party is their trajectory…which is self inflicted
2024 was a good year for them
2023 they BOMBED like 9 out of 11 movies
0 for 2 so far this year
Thunderbolts is reviewing well…but the tracking isn’t great so far. We’ll see
Now can we stay focused? Maybe skip the “it’s cinema and for art and all movies make tons of money on D+” please?…maybe just for a day?

Live in the now, man. Would Disney like to avoid bombs? Of course, but the hits are way more important. The profits from Inside Out 2 more than cancelled out the combined losses from the four biggest bombs from 2023 (The Marvels, Indy 5, Wish, & Haunted Mansion) all by themselves.
Just so it's in one handy place for anyone who may be interested, you can see 2024's top 10 money spinners below.

Okay, gang, we're off and running with a new movie from Burbank! Miss Zegler's agent can finally breathe a sigh of relief. 
Thunderbolts did $11 and a half Million at yesterday's previews. It's gotten good reviews and very positive audience feedback thus far. Can great word of mouth help Thunderbolts surpass its initial estimate of a $75 Million opening weekend? Could it get closer to the $89 Million opening weekend that Captain America did a few months ago?
Or is $100 Million possible this weekend for Thunderbolts?
Thunderbolts had a $180 Million production budget. It's going to need to get to at least $550 Million-ish globally to break even. Captain America, with the same budget, was a money loser for Burbank with $415 Million globally.

Nobody wasted time or avoided anything. @brideck was just putting things into perspective since you appear to have this "you can't make up for the past" under the guise of a "what have you done for me lately" facade. Otherwise you wouldn't keep bringing up 2023.
Also just so we're clear for the record so far for 2025 Disney has had one bomb, one so so film, and one still in theaters looking like it may do ok. This is all before Thunderbolts releases today.

I think you're overestimating the marketing again as @BrianLo has pointed out before. So the breakeven is in the $415M-$450M range.Okay, gang, we're off and running with a new movie from Burbank! Miss Zegler's agent can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

$100+ is a win based on tracking and could indicate legs…this is a fun one to watchOkay, gang, we're off and running with a new movie from Burbank! Miss Zegler's agent can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
