This ain't no Wonder Woman box-office wise.


Remember the fervent excitement leading up to that smash?

There's like zero of that going on for this. The real shame is I'm sure the budget is huge just like every Disney film.

At this point, this may be looking at Ant-man level numbers.

lol Sorry just has to post this...

jumped on to yahoo today, on the FRONT PAGE is this-

https://www.yahoo.com/finance/news/captain-marvel-advanced-ticket-sales-wonder-woman-black-panther-105952337.html

Headline Being "advanced ticket sales signal 'Captain Marvel' is hotter than 'Wonder Woman"

^LOL literally on the front page of Yahoo...I swear the first thing I thought of was queen's epic failure of a thread declaring "This Aint No Wonder Woman"

I mean seriously, Its like You are Destined to fail Queen...

You literally make a thread Specifically and Intentionally Declaring "Captain Marvel Isn't no Wonder Woman"

and hilariously now, on the front page of Yahoo the headline is "advanced ticket sales signal 'Captain Marvel' is hotter than 'Wonder Woman"

lol and just think in the next 48 hours Dozens of websites will all have the same headlines...

this could be an ALL TIMER queen...

right now I dont know if I want to put this in your TOP 5 FAILS...I mean your top 5 is just so spectacularly awful...But I'm starting to think this might just enter the top 5....although, I'm not officially calling it an ALL TIMER or a top 5 yet, I want to get through the weekend to see just how horrifically you actually failed...

But man this is looking GREAT queen....seriously, You made my weekend...

reply

We'll see.

And for the record...stop LYING and saying that I said this would do AM2 numbers "at best".

Anyone can read my original post from 2 months ago and see I said it "may" do AM2 numbers. You KNOW I didn't say "at best" and yet you keep repeating it.

Like I said...let's wait until Sunday to see how this shakes out. If it beats WW's OW I"'ll readily admit I'm wrong.

Two things you CAN count on...this isn't hitting. 160 million OW and comScore and audience ratings aren't so hot so what matters in the end is it's total gross and you KNOW this won't top WW's 411 million domestic total.

^^^

I dont care about either of these things because you never once mentioned them until 2 days ago when it became clear to you that CM was going to KILL WWs OW...

YOU only Predicted and made guarantees about CM's Opening Weekend....You made an entire thread about CM's opening Weekend...

I do not care about your desperate attempts to spin your predictions...

YOU spent months trolling on CM's opening weekend....thats all I care about

These new claims now dont even register with me....and they dont matter because ITS NOT what YOU CARE ABOUT.

had you spend 1 second in the last 3 months claiming "CM wont top WWs domestic total and WW" total, then Id care....had you made a thread claiming "CM aint no Wonder Woman's domestically"...then Id care...

but you did not mention these one time until 2 days ago when you began your desperate attempt to spin your predictions....

YOU made it very clear with 3 months of trolling that You ONLY cared about OPENING WEEKEND....every prediction you made, all trolling you did was about OW....

you can desperately try to spin all you want, but the facts are you are wasting your time...It doesnt change the fact that 3 months of ONLY trolling on opening weekend has now failed...

PS.

you did make 1 prediction about CM's total....You predicted CM would make 400 Million World Wide or Half of Wonder Woman's total....

lol so your only going to be off by 400 to 600 Million there


And for the record..stop LYING and saying that I said this would do AM2 numbers "at best".

No queen, everyone can see you clearly are guaranteeing "CM wont match WW's 103 M OW"..then you add, "It may be looking at AM2 numbers" which is 75 M

Theres no other Interpretation for these statement...

You are unequivocally saying CM has no shot at WW's 103 Million OW and May be Looking at AM2 75 Million type numbers...

sorry queen these are your own words...



Like I said...let's wait until Sunday to see how this shakes out. If it beats WW's OW I"'ll readily admit I'm wrong.

^^^

lol queen....the level of delusion here is kinda scary...

lol its over queen, CM could have the worst holds in the history of box office and its still topping 103 Million...

queen the projections for friday are in....CM is coming in a 64 M for 1 day...

again Its LITERALLY NOT Possible for CM to not top 103 Million now...

Its could have the greatest sat and sun drops in History and is still coming in over 103 M...

lol Jesus this truly shows the pain you are in...

You are actually living in a fantasy world, You are literally refusing to accept reality...for the next 48 Hours you going to live in a fantasy world so you dont have to accept theres NO HOPE, NOT 1 chance, CM comes in lower than WW...

thank you for this....seriously,,,just knowing that you are sitting at home,literally Hoping for the impossible makes my weekend...

goodluck on "let's wait until Sunday to see how this shakes out."

Literally every single person on the planet earth though wont be waiting for the weekend...no one else is living in a Shame-fueled delusional state hoping for the impossible...

bump

lol poor Queen

Captain Marvel is now guaranteed to top 1 Billion

overseas results are completely exceeded expectations

CM is heading for a 300 Million + Overseas debut and a 160 M+ domestic debut and will be at 460 M by Monday

1 Billion is now guaranteed...

worth noting, I made the same threads about Avengers IW and Black Panther after only 1 day...

this isnt a prediction, its simply math...

Once Black Panthers friday Projections came in domestically and overseas...I made a thread saying it was guaranteed to top 1 Billion+

Once Avengers IW domestic and overseas projections came in on friday...I made a thread saying 1.5 B + is guaranteed...

I'm not saying this to brag...Only pointing out, you may think its too early to tell now...But its not...Just like with BP and Avengers IW...Its just simply math...

1 Billion + is guaranteed now for CM

reply

This is not hitting 160+ million domestic OW.

reply

Boy how the goal post have been moved...

You went from guaranteeing it would make between 75 to to 102 M

to now praying it makes 159 M....

lol ...

By the way I agree....I imagine CM will actually come in around 156 M....

still you lose in every possible WAY!



Queen, you cant possibly escape your fate....YOU got BURNT as badly as anyone could get burnt....

lol even last night you said if CM tops WW's Opening Weekend You'll admit you were Wrong....

are you really going to sink to this level of trying to proclaim A MINI victory that CM made 157 M instead of 160 M?

Its over....

you were very clear...

you guaranteed CM wouldnt top WW's Opening weekend or World Wide Box office....You claimed CM wouldnt top Aquaman's domestic gross...

CM proved you wrong in every way....



lol only you could guaranteed a opening weekend between 75 to 102 M....and then find a way to claim 157 M is "NOT IMPRESSIVE"

reply

...aaannndd it just keeps dropping.

It will be interesting how much below 160 million it falls by the time the Monday actual come in.

reply

Everyone knows what's going on here...the media want to give a black eye to the conservatives upset with Brie Larson so they are jacking up their box office numbers to 160 million while everyone TRULY knows its not close to that number.

ahhhhh so now theres a conspiracy among the HUNDREDS of theatrical chains to inflate CMs box office....

Man first, Critics were paid off to hate DC films and LOVE MCU films

Now Theaters are paid off to report inflated numbers...

Queen, Your desperation know no Bounds



..aaannndd it just keeps dropping.

^^^

this is quite a concerning statement...It suggests reality is Literally NOT registering with you.

queen what dont you understand?

it hasnt dropped any....NONE

Projections were 155 to 160 M....

Now Projections are 157 to 160 M....


lol CM is going to come in between 155 to 160 M....

I know you are now at point where your only possible tactic is to SPITE troll and go full retard if CM makes 159 Million instead of 160 M

but in a way, by doing so Its the Ultimate Indicator of just how desperate and embarrassed you are.

every single thing you predicted about CM disastrously failed....you spent Months claiming CM wouldnt top WWs OW or Total...You claimed CM wouldnt top Aquaman's domestic gross, you claimed CM would ONLY make 400 M world Wide(Its literally going to make more than that in 3 days)

somehow your now at a point where the best you can do is ....."YES!!! CM made 157 M instead of 160 M"

the reason why this is so telling and the ultimate indicator of your desperation is because YOU NEVER ONCE mentioned this..

you've spent 3 months now doing nothing but giving predictions of the things YOU CARE about

Predicting CM to Lose to WW and Aquaman....

now those have been taken from you and your forced to cling to life on something you never once mentioned before..

the next 3 weeks of your life is going to be HELL

reply

It's not the actual numbers from theaters dummy...it's media outlet projections.

Also...this will file in lower than 155 million.

reply

queen it doesnt matter where it flies...

Its going to be over 150 M....

the projections were 150 M+ ...over a half dozen Websites projected a 150 M+ OW....

CM is guaranteed to exceed that!

Queen if you made a thread 2 months ago claiming ..."This aint no 160 M Opening Weekend film"....then ya youd have room to claim you were right...

Instead you never once mentioned 160 M until this weekend when you were forced to Move the Goal Posts after all your other predictions failed....

You specifically made a thread declaring your expectations for CM....

you guaranteed a 75 to 102 M OW....

You claimed CM wouldnt match Aquaman's domestic total

You predicted CM would ONLY make 400 M WW....


CM brutally OWNED YOU...

deal with it

reply

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA oh queen, I do feel sorry for you, you suck at predicting

reply

No, of course not. It is SUPERIOR. First girl superhero movie to make a billion dollars at the boxoffice. Wonder Woman (DC trinity) couldn't make it...

reply

Huge 72% drop? Seems weird for a SUPERIOR movie. Its still possible that Disney was buying tickets, there were reports from all over about the empty theaters but all the seats were sold out. Seems suspicious to me.

A briellion dollars for you Trolls and Haters. Go buy your Prep. H quick and increase the dose, you desperately need it

reply

Ouch. It nearly doubled Ant-man.

reply

Well, at least now we know that you are unreliable.

reply

Well it looks like Captain Marvel passed Wonder Woman domestically it’s still #2 at the box office so it still got some legs to it. CM definitely overperforming, at least if we look at Queens benchmark.

reply

QueenFanUSA's arbitray and subjective benchmark isn't even a metric for those that dislike the character and I totally understand and think that CM has additional money on the table due to it only being in release for less than 60 days. Point being is that CM is following a quite normal revenue cycle without having to spin any results pro or con.

Seems to me that CM being seen as an overperformer detracts a bit from the planning and execution of Marvel's business team. CM was setup to succeed and I say that in the most positive sense. CM is a solid movie.

Carol Danvers is an interesting character on her own terms not merely to be compared or juxtaposed against other characters.

Marvel has done a fairly decent job in rewarding fans for doing a second look at their films by making their characters a bit deeper and not just serviceable. They tend to be quite unique and relatable but certain members of the audience are not quite ready for Carol Danvers which is why there is so much deconstruction of her and criticism, most of the criticism is negative.

CM doesn't have to beat WW or be like WW in order to be accepted or appear to be great. One does not depend on the other in order to rise and or fall and thus the nature of Sisterhood and or Brotherhood.
