Doc Shadow Posted July 23, 2017 Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 I think they're also sick of Spider-man in high school. I know I am. The comic has been published for 55 years, the character left high school a bit over two years into those 55 years. Let the man grow up for god's sake! Even Robin was allowed to grow up, why not Spider-man? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I presume you mean Captain Marvel? Probably fighting the Kree-Skrull War.

Christopher R Taylor Posted July 24, 2017 Report Share Posted July 24, 2017 Honestly the Kree-Skrull war interests me more than Thanos. They could get several movies out of that one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Shadow Posted July 24, 2017 Report Share Posted July 24, 2017 I have to say I'm really pleased with the idea of Michelle Pfeiffer as the Wasp. But I'll admit that I've had a bit of a crush on her for decades. She was, hands down, the best thing in that horrid Dark Shadows abomination that Tim Burton threw up. bigdamnhero 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christopher R Taylor Posted July 24, 2017 Report Share Posted July 24, 2017 I thought little Chloe Moretz did pretty well with what little she had to work with. Terrible movie, complete waste of talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is I also had a bit of a crush on Nancy Barrett who played the part of Carolyn on TV in the 60s/70s. Although I'll admit that Chloe did the best she could.

bigdamnhero Posted July 25, 2017 Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 On the negative side Spider-man Homecoming only took in 22 million, That brings its total domestic box office a bit over $250 million with the vast majority of that coming in the first week. No legs on this one. It still beat out Planet of the Apes, which was only in its 2nd week. At it's already the 3rd highest-grossing movie so far this year (behind WW & GotG2) I don't think anyone at Sony or Marvel is crying too hard.

Doc Shadow Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 I do. They were expecting $500 million+ domestically. They'll be lucky if they get 400. And this is the first part of a trilogy. It's not good to under-perform right out of the gate. I think they're quite disappointed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zslane Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 I don't think any solo Marvel character can bring in $500M domestically at this point. Only the team movies are likely to do that now. Over on the DC side of things, probably only Batman can hope to do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Shadow Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 This isn't just any Marvel character though. This is Spider-man, Marvel's flagship character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher R Taylor Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 Probably they are disappointed. These are blockbusters, they expect to make a mint, at least double their investment. A movie that makes more than it cost but not by a lot, is considered a failure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pattern Ghost Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 This isn't just any Marvel character though. This is Spider-man, Marvel's flagship character. On his third reboot. That should really temper expectations. Not even the MCU tie in boost will overcome that completely. bigdamnhero and Hyper-Man 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DasBroot Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 It's just as well that I have two toddlers and get to see maybe one movie a year (Logan was this years) - there's such a saturation right now that I doubt I could even keep up.

bigdamnhero Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 I do. They were expecting $500 million+ domestically. They'll be lucky if they get 400. And this is the first part of a trilogy. It's not good to under-perform right out of the gate. I think they're quite disappointed. I'm not sure where you got that number, but according to Wikipedia the only MCU movie to break $500M domestically was Avengers 1. Homecoming has already beaten out Dr. Strange ($233M) and is on track to beat Winter Soldier ($260M), both of which had similar budgets. It's overseas performance has been relatively low (which makes some sense - too much talking, not enough explosions) putting its worldwide gross so far in the bottom half of the MCU, but I don't know how many markets its opened in overseas and how all that works. Comparing it to other Spidey films, it's already passed Amazing 2 ($202M) and in another week should pass up Amazing 1 ($262M). They've still got a ways to go before they catch up with the Tobey Maguire films, but even the first of those only cleared $400M domestically. Tho here again, its overseas performance is relatively weak so far. And yes, while they're regarding it as the first in a trilogy, everybody else sees it as the fifth Spider Man movie in 15 years. Basically what I'm saying is, if they were expecting to make $500M domestically, the problem was their expectations, not the film's performance.
