The Box Office

[krazijoe]

So I was checking out Box Office Mojo just because I am bored, and decided to see what movie had the highest gross per theater and it was RRR. 1 Theater, $245,185 Gross, for the weekend. I figure it's in a neighborhood with a high Indian population.

Not a good start

From the deadline article:

In like-for-likes, the first day overall results are estimated to be 225% ahead of Black Adam, 45% ahead of The Batman, 27% below the orignal Black Panther (which had the benefit of opening during the Lunar New Year in Asia) and 31% below Thor: Love & Thunder (which opened during the summer holidays).

Not a good start

I wonder why?

Its has a damn long running time, so my theater just showed it 3 times a day. Maybe it has something to do with it? On the other side, Endgame was even longer and had a better start.

the last couple of marvel movies have been really quite bad or mediocre at best. So, it would make sense that at one point this would have a consequence for the entire brand at the box-office?

But I doubt that Black Panther will underperform. The reviews are really good and many people still have hope that Marvel movies will be better again.

Looks like some were jumping to conclusions about how poorly this did.

Maybe since a lot of people have Friday off, they will just catch a Friday Matinee?

We'll see if the legs are good a B+ score will kill this film.

Doubtful. Most of the fandom that's going to see this aren't basing their decision off a Cinemascore.

Wakanda Forever is a pretty bad/boring movie that takes ages to kick into third gear.

the reviews kind of feels like it is done for two films that was merged into one but not finding the complete balance

the first film was a great tribute to Mr Boseman

the second film felt like another marvel movie you have seen before

I think this film is in a very unique case of un-usuality you cannot just watch the film and be in a fiction land for 2-3 hours. there is a strong realism that cannot be erased and that seems to be the strength of the film by reviews, which I am not sure is a good thing because no one wanted Chadwick Boseman to die. RIP Sir.

?????? Is B+ bad now?

[chicago_bastard]

Why are people treating one person's counterfactual claims as gospel?

WF doesn't have a bad start at the box office and it didn't get a B+ CinemaScore.
