    I would definitely want to use proxies. My type 1 deck use to be worth somewhere in the 5k range around 15 - 20 years ago. I would imagine the same cards being in 100k range today. Just dual lands alone are insanely expensive. Revised were like $10 - $25 depending on the card & grade back then.

    I heard a story back in the 90’s that someone tore their chaos orb into to pieces while using it at a tournament to destroy all of his opponents cards. Apparently that move won him the tournament.

    Definitely. Endgame’s 1st week was like a Christmas marathon, 2nd week was still better than most openings but it dropped rapidly after that. I think it’s something we can expect with all of the tight competition on weekly basis. Even with Deadpool 2 coming out shortly after it’s debut, I don’t think Infinity War had this amount of competition to contend with.

    I don't see where the Arrowverse can go with Arrow coming to an end. Flashverse? I still like Flash & LoT but honestly found Doom Patrol more interesting than most of the Arrowverse this season. I just hope Swamp Thing is as interesting.

    Not up to date on some of the newer cards but I remember Mox diamond. I had 2 sets of Power 9's both white boarder Unlimited & a black boarder mix of Alpha/Beta. loved Juzam Djinn also. Really miss my old collection when I think about it. So many amazing cards & great art. I had like 20 or 30 Rishadan Ports at one point with 4 foil's.

    Still has better ratings than Infinity War but some of the more hardcore comic fans probably prefer IW better & didn't watch it as many times. I'm anxious for Spider-Man now that I've seen the new trailer on the big screen.

    I remember the main early series: Alpha, Beta, Unlimited, Revised, Legends, Arabian Nights, Antiquities. I forget the names of the series that came after even though I still played. Mana Drain & Force of Will were always popular Counter Spells. Loved my old type 1 counter deck. I can't believe how much they went up in value.

    Bootlegs hurt every film but a 3 hours run time with less action than your average Avengers film probably hurt repeat business also. I can't stand watching cam versions of any film, I don't care how high quality it is. Everything comes out on DVD/Blu-Ray so quickly these days & there's so many things to occupy your time with, that there's really no point. My uncle is visiting, so I treated him & my parents to Endgame again on Friday. I've seen it 4 or 5 times but I've passed out twice around Black Widow's Vormir scene & woke up during the final battle. Will definitely be nice to see it at home to rewind next time that happens. They've been pulling Marvel films from theaters more quickly, so Endgame might only last 18 weeks as oppose to Infinity War's 20 weeks. Might drop to AoU weekly #'s at this rate.

    Now this sounds interesting. I use to play in MTG tournaments back in the 90's. It's where the MTG comes from in my handle. I had all the main cards back in the day & it's where I got my initial investment money to put into comics. The cards changed a lot though & started looking more like Pokemon. I love the originals but haven't played in a long time. MTG was like the modern D&D when I was a teen. They still hold Friday night Magic at my local comic shop.

    I don't think anyone could argue that this being a major win for the genre. Looks like they just adjusted the international #'s up $710,253. $2,713,912,037 worldwide now. Still waiting on domestic #'s to be updated.
  11. chezmtghut
    AoU still made another 20M+ after this point, so 835M - 840M domestic is where it will land. Might see another 20M internationally also. Should end it’s run around 2.75B +/-. There’s just too much competition for it to go any further.
  12. chezmtghut
    Thanks Brett! Offers are still welcome.
  13. chezmtghut
    Latest BOM update shows Endgame only made 4.344M Monday - Thursday Internationally. That's a drop of 75% from last week. I was expecting closer to 10M. Maybe Sunday's update shows it made more.
  14. chezmtghut
    Yeah, could fall short of IW by 1M weekly In June. Might even drop below 1M by day 39, but more likely day 41 or 42.
  15. chezmtghut
    I meant to put 1.853M, which Forbes reported earlier today. Will likely end it’s last 15 weeks with a lower total than IW unless it gets a major boost from Spider-Man like Captain Marvel did, so probably 40M but 50M isn’t impossible. I expect we will see drops around 40% - 45% internationally, rather than 50% - 60%+ we saw the 1st 4 weeks.
  16. chezmtghut
    Endgame made roughly 27M domestic Monday - Sunday while it did 38M internationally. It should be closer to par this week with around 20M on both ends because of the Memorial Day bump, but still likely higher overseas. Made 1.83M Tuesday (125k lower than IW). Should be roughly 60M behind Avatar by Sunday. Add another 20M - 25M by June 10th, then another 12M - 15M by the 17th (if it continues following IW’s trajectory). By that point domestic #’s will be higher than International. Under those optimal circumstances, Endgame could reach Avatar with a late June early July bump from Spider-Man with the school break.

    It's insane that we're getting 4 Marvel films within 4 months. I'm honestly surprised Disney didn't delay it a few more months.
  18. chezmtghut
    I just went over the #’s again & it looks like 79.6M (13-19) & 38M (20-26). Still, that’s without China since Wednesday, so the drops have been lower overall. Probably around 20M (27-2) & around 40M more by the end of it’s run. It may get a bump from Spidey near the end before it’s pulled, but will likely be 10M - 25M from Avatar when all is said & done. I never thought it would make it this close last month though. I figured 2.3B - 2.5B at best. What an insane opening. I heard Stark might make a surprise cameo in Homecoming. I figure it would be like one of those uncle Ben cameo’s. Milking his last few million from Marvel I guess.

    The Avengers opened a week later, so it’s Memorial Day weekend was a week earlier than Infinity War & Endgame.
  20. chezmtghut
    Looks like Endgame just got a bump internationally this weekend. Leaves it more of a fighting chance to catch Avatar. Still waiting on an update of the domestic Memorial Day weekend total. Still needs another 50M domestic & 50M internationally. Not impossible but could be tough. Made 38M internationally this past week. Would need roughly 25M this week & 15M next week to guarantee it’s chances. Should easily make another 40M domestically, even if drops are higher than Infinity War (made 50M+ over the last 16 weeks).

    He's the towns police chief. I've considered this possibility also. It's all just speculation.
  22. chezmtghut
    If Harbour does play Grimm in Black Widow, I expect it will be as a pilot & not the Thing. I'm pretty sure the MCU will introduce the Fantastic Four together, even if some characters are introduced individually in other films leading up to it. Similar to how Black Widow was introduced as Natalie Rushman / Natasha Romanoff in Iron Man 2 initially.

    I just hope they don't kill him off at the end of the film, which has been an issue with the majority of MCU villains.

    20th Century Fox James Cameron's long-awaited sequel to his groundbreaking 3D film will finally arrive in cinemas on 17 December, 2021 UNTITLED DISNEY LIVE ACTION December 22, 2021 UNTITLED STAR WARS December 16, 2022 Avatar 3, December 22, 2023 UNTITLED STAR WARS December 20, 2024 Avatar 4, December 19, 2025 UNTITLED STAR WARS December 18, 2026 Avatar 5, December 19, 2027 I knew they pushed it back again once Disney officially got Fox, thought it was 2022 though. So they still have 1 year to test the waters with an MCU film at Christmas. We know they have Black Widow planned for next year, but not sure when DS2, GotG3, Shang-Chi or the Eternals are suppose to be released. They will obviously have at least one come out in 2020 & the Eternals is in pre-production, so that's the safer bet unless we see some traction on GotG3. I would say that's a definite yes.

    Would be interesting to see how well an MCU film does if it opened at Christmas since they have no Star Wars (2023?) or Avatar (2022?) planned for the next couple of years. I think Endgame would have hit 3 billion if it opened Christmas 2018 & had a better stretch with little competition aside from Aquaman. May have made less in China though.
