Sooo...not as big a drop as Thor's 62% third weekend then?

Thanks for reminding us!

lol dont you think it MIGHT be good idea to until tomorrow before you say this?

lol this is the Main Problem with you Queen...You simply just do not think before Posting....

JL has a HIstory of coming in LOWER than Expected(This of course is due to bad WOM)...But its happened at every point during JLs box office run so far....

Opening Weekend numbers came in lower than expected, it went from 96 to 94 Million, Last Weekend JL box office went down when the final numbers came in....

lol its entirely possibly, no actually Likely, JL Will come in LESS than The reported estimates....Yet you at no point ever thought about that ....Its entirely possible JL Will come in right around Thors 62% drop when the final numbers come in....You are a complete Idiot....

lol even if it doesn't are we really at the point now where you have to take joy in A 1 % increase?...lol

PS you did see Thor 3s 4th and 5th weekends right?

you did see Thor 3 had a Truly Great 27% 4th weekend hold and now a 44% 5th weekend Hold....

do you honestly see JL even getting close to that?

I mean this is what I'm talking about, its not a good idea to compare Thor 3 and JL, you gigantic idiot....

lol

Thor 3-
OW-122 Million
2nd-57 Million(53% Drop)
3rd-21 Million(62 % Drop)
4th-16 Million(22% Drop)
5th-9 Million(44% drop)

JL-
OW-94 Million
2nd-41 Million(57% Drop over THANKSGIVING)
3rd-16 Million(59% Drop, Probably Worse)
4th-Certainly NOT 22%
5th-Certainly not 44%

lol do you see a pattern here....Thor 3 is performing and holding great, Is Beating JL in every way possible yet your embarrassing trying to claim victory from a 1% increase over a 3rd weekend hold, do you at any point feel SHAME, this is something only a child would do...

PS nice call on JL making over 50 Million Overseas this weekend.....


I remember a few days ago, when I said JL would make between 35 to 37 Million TOPS....You Literally Laughed and said JL would make at least 50 Million....

did you see JL came in right at 35 Million Overseas this weekend?

reply

Bill, let it go. The only defense Queen has is that Justice League is MAYBE in some cases, with more markets, and more iconic characters....MAYBE doing ALMOST as well as the THIRD movie in the Thor franchise. Thor....the overall least loved of the Marvel franchises. That says everything right there.

I'll also remind you that Thor 3 did so well opening to week 2 that it had a LOT more room to fall in week 3 that JL did.

What is really telling, and shows how looking at a single number can be so misleading, is if you look at each movie's drop from opening week to week 3, both Thor 3 and JL dropped an identical 83% drop... so Thor's strong hold opening to week 2 opened the door to a bigger drop week 2 to 3. JL's larger drop opening to week 2 gave it a slight boost to hold in week 3, since there was less to hold on to.

I'll also bet if you ask the studios would they prefer an 83% drop from $122 million or from $94 million, the answer would be EASY.

Oh... and also look into the small fact that Thor 3, in its third week, was competing against a highly anticipated OPENING weekend for JL, while JL in its third week had to compete against NO new major openings of ANY kind. The top 5 this week is almost identical to that of last week.

So yup... keep reminding us of that crushing 62% week three fall... I'm sure Marvel is weeping all the way to the bank. You know, with profits for Thor 3... something poor WB will probably never see for JL.

There wasn't any major release this week (in terms of serious competition), so JL should not be dropping 60%.

At the end of the day, which one makes executives happier and more confident about the future of the universe? Which movie was more profitable?
- JL ending up around $620-$650m worldwide?
- Thor Ragnarok ending up with around $840-$860 worldwide?

After looking at that and really giving it an honest assessment, which director would I want to hire again? Right now, I'd gladly take Taika Waititi and use him for another Marvel movie, if he's down with it. He's kind of proven himself - and not bad for a guy who never directed a big budget blockbuster before. How many chances has Zack Snyder had?

It's fine if some users here enjoyed the movie. John Campea has a daily Youtube channel about films, and he enjoyed all of the DCEU movies, but he says you cannot put your head in the sand and ignore some very disturbing things going on with the DCEU in terms of audience interest and Box Office. It is falling rapidly, and there is lots of talk about rebooting the universe for a reason. Which means the movies you like may not even get sequels (Man of Steel, Justice League, Suicide Squad, etc).

Last of all, we can all agree that movies like Justice League should be doing what Avengers movies are doing. It doesn't have to earn the exact amount as Avengers. Even if JL ends up slightly lower than the Avengers' $1.5 billion haul, at least being in the neighborhood would've been a lot better for WB. That's the problem. It's not even going to be close to that.

I was stupid to round to tenth million. The actual is 16,651k, which Queeny rounded to 16.7. The estimate could have been as little as $1111 less, but it is now lost.
