BO has some four day projections, including: XMEN6 74.0, ALCN2 40.0, ANGRB 25.5 (70.1), CAPA3 21.0 (378.5) second gary May 28, 10:01

captain still losing ground to IM3. would never have expected that a couple days before opening, after lobogotti May 28, 10:12

This makes me angrier. If the title had been Avengers Civil War, would more people have come out OW? {nm} Jay_Beezy May 28, 10:21

Or maybe BvS made audiences sour on superhero v superhero movies. {nm} Jay_Beezy May 28, 10:22

was talking with Snob the other day and he said these films are starting to experience fatigue and he's right. lobogotti May 28, 10:25

I love the MCU but as it's gotten more frequent/episodic, I think the films feel less like major "events" Rioter May 28, 10:42

And also there's no clear endpoint in the marketing yet so a small but growing number don't feel an urgency to rush out Moviesnob May 28, 10:51

it has turned into a superhero serial...which I love personally....but it could be both a blessing and a curse... tealfan May 28, 10:55

...or maybe it's just settling into a more normal pace for the long run, BO-wise {nm} tealfan May 28, 10:56

Yes and the floor for these is still insanely profitable despite the costs going up after feige took over {nm} Moviesnob May 28, 11:03

agreed, I think serialization (vs just being a shared universe) helps launch C-list stuff (ANTMN) but also limits A-listers like CAPA3 {nm} Rioter May 28, 13:17

Serialization also increases frontloadedness, decreases repeat viewings, and makes it difficult for new viewers to jump in {nm} warcraft86 May 28, 17:42

i wonder if critics and audiences, disillusioned with BvS, overcompensated with the reviews, because really civil war was turrible islander May 28, 10:44

Rentrak approval ratings are really high. The masses really like the movie {nm} Moviesnob May 28, 10:48

90% critic, 91% users, #123 all time IMDb with 8.3 and 75 mets critic. One of the best received comic book films ever. {nm} lobogotti May 28, 11:00

I'm in the minority. While I enjoyed it, I thought it was vastly overrated and not even close to being one of the best comic book movies. ~JPV~ May 28, 11:07

and i dont know why. they are all wrong sorry to say! {nm} islander May 28, 11:08

I thought for the genre it was a solid film. maybe not as high as the majority favors, but better than a lot in the genre IMO {nm} lobogotti May 28, 11:12

Yes but solid is not one of the best comic book movies ever made. I personally gave it a B but felt CAPA2 was far better (A-, maybe an A) {nm} ~JPV~ May 28, 11:16

you're not alone on those thoughts... lobogotti May 28, 11:36

And legs lower than literally every other Marvel movie. Really strange run. {nm} reelreptile May 28, 11:13

Should be clear the fatigue isn't a huge part of the audience yet but it's growing and the next two marvel movies have some folks Moviesnob May 28, 11:01

it's the only plausible theory (fatigue) IMO. X-Men further proves it true. {nm} lobogotti May 28, 11:09

I thought the Matrix and Inception comparisons were complimentary for the most part. {nm} Jay_Beezy May 28, 11:39

i just came back from the new X-Men and people were cheering. Rare in these movies. I thought by far best in series. {nm} tradermark May 28, 12:59

Maybe people do not want to see a movie Dvdtalk_gcribbs May 28, 10:21

could be {nm} lobogotti May 28, 10:25

74 for XMEN6 is just unbelievably bad. Especially for those of us holding the OW long. {nm} skunkrunner May 28, 10:51

I'm holding it short and going to leave the cash out {nm} Quickslver99 May 28, 11:53

Mmmm... But what does Mike314 think of all this {nm} JMT-NL May 28, 12:19

Obviously Powerball is too blame for these low numbers {nm} IAM_rah May 28, 14:49

By the way johnyy depp divorce hurt alice {nm} mike255 May 28, 15:01

I doubt many people knew about it and those who did, didn't care. Fact is, the first one wasn't well received and... ~JPV~ May 28, 18:02

The first one was well received by audiences at the time having made over 300M. Jay_Beezy May 29, 12:08

No. But if this drags on, worry for Pirates. {nm} leo21 May 29, 16:44
