    Thank you ! -J.

    Did anybody happen to see what the 8.0 and 5.5 went for on comiclink tonight ? -J.

    Funny how you don't mind Bosco rounding up when it's on a movie you like. Barely average. On your biggest property. With no competition. And china. Not adjusted for inflation. Yay. I stand by my statements. -J.

    You're still making excuses for why this movie under-performed by $200MM. Read my comment again. I said it performed below the AVERAGE of those other movies. Which it did. Pretty lame considering this is DC's biggest character, it had no competition for 3 weeks and even nailed a China release (I've already linked multiple articles showing how Chinese theaters have been closing intermittently for many movies, and see no reason to repeat myself here, movies that made a lot more than batman did, that excuse is tired and played out and needs to be permanently scrapped, the movie just plain bombed there like other American movied did , jungle cuise and the matrix included, oh and do you seriously need to be reminded how much no way home made with NO china at all?). Pretty lame ibox office numbers indeed. It should have been shorter, much shorter, and better. -J.

    When you have to parse numbers this hard to convince people your movie was a smash hit, it wasn't. I'm not saying it was a flop or even that it lost money. It has made a very modest amount theatrically for the studio- and we are talking about DC's biggest comic book property BY FAR. It under performed the average of every other DC movie to date including every Batman movie ever made. No, that is not impressive. It is "meh". It should have made at least 200 million more and might have if it was shorter and better. And yes I'm more impressed by morbius' 2x in three weeks than I am by batmans in 10 days or even 3 weeks, since, as I have noted before, and you keep ignoring, the movie had ZERO competition for nearly the first month of its existence. -J.
  6. Jaydogrules
    Wait- "velocity" isn't relevant because the statements weren't simply, "this made 2x in only 2 weeks, therefore it is a 'smash''", the statement was "this is officially a 'smash'' at 400MM (2x multiple)" Oh, And Batman had NO competition for its first three weekends morbius had tons, including batman. -J.
  7. Jaydogrules
    All I want to know is, now that this film is "well over" 150MM, 2x, is it a "smash" like the Batman supposedly was at the same multiple ? ...Asking for a logical friend who only expects to see people adhering to a consistent narrative when it comes to their layman analytics. -J.
  8. Jaydogrules
    Looks like you already know the answer. -J.
  9. Jaydogrules
    Officially "average". -J.
  10. Jaydogrules
    By your pretzel "logic" it's officially a money maker. Doesn't matter how many weeks it took to hit 2x, Batman had the benefit of NO competition for the first 3 weeks it was out, and still somehow managed to underwhelm the box office. Oh, and Batman's 3.7 multiplier, is still below average for all Batman movies, still WELL below the dreadful suicide squad movie from 6 years ago multiplier, still barely even beat that movie's worldwide gross, after several weeks, and still didn't do it if we even the playing field by backing out China #Stillmeh -J.
  11. Jaydogrules
    Yeah. Still not the point. #oblivioustocontext -J.

    Nice! Love this cover. -J.

    A 9.4, #667 on comiclink ending next month. https://www.comiclink.com/auctions/item.asp?back=%2FAUCTIONS%2FSEARCH.ASP%3FFocusedOnly%3D1%26where%3Dauctions%26title%3DAmazing%2Bspider-man%2B667%26GO%3DGO%26ItemType%3DCB%23Item_1569454&id=1569454&itemType=0 -J.

    Touché lol. And nothing against Roy, we may go back and forth sometimes but I have nothing against the guy personally or professionally. But when somebody says "it's just as good as a public auction because Roy saw it", that doesn't move the needle. @sfcityduck You're right, shilling an auction can definitely queer data points, and I'm sure it at least "can" happen even with all the sefagaurds the big auction houses have in place. But again, that's the beauty of sales happening in public view , they are open to scrutiny and can be questioned and vetted by the masses on boards like these. -J.
  15. Jaydogrules
    I don't know who Roy is and neither do 99.99% of people. @Crowzilla My bad, when I first quickly read the article, I saw "mile high" and immediately conjured Rozanski. My points still stand nonetheless. Public auctions > "Private sales". All day. Every day. If it beats AF 15 in a public auction on the same terms and ground rules, great. Otherwise, *asterisk* -J.
  16. Jaydogrules
    Except it still is. "Private sales" < Public auctions. -J.
  17. Jaydogrules
    You mean CGC announced what was reported to it by the private parties ? -J.
  18. Jaydogrules
    Get asm 10 first spider-punk instead. There's a 1:25 dell'otto variant for it. Still yet another spider-derivative,like character but he's more original and has a lower entry level for now and is not divisive the way morales is. -J.
  19. Jaydogrules
    No, it is absolutely NOT a public sale. It is, in fact , an expressly "private sale" that was made "public" with only the purported info the parties involved in it decided to make public, thus evading any kind of vetting that happens with an actually public auction. And others have already said why there is a significant difference. People can claim anything and market manipulation is a thing, and one of the people involved has been known to do such a thing. Put the thing up for auction and prove it. If not, there's an asterisk next to it and AF 15 is still top dog -J.
  20. Jaydogrules
    Another "private sale". Yeah, okay. Until a sale happens publicly, subject to the same public scrutiny as all of the other public sales that have managed to break records publicly, AF 15 is still top dog. Period. -J.

    Wow. You really whiffed this one didn't you. Who said anything about second weekend grosses ? My point is that people are, absurdly, declaring morbius a "failure" when it is nearly at a 2x multiple (less than 24MM shy), and yet batman was a runaway smash at the same multiple: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.latestly.com/socially/entertainment/hollywood/the-batman-box-office-collection-day-8-robert-pattinsons-dc-film-crosses-the-400-million-mark-worldwide-3467209.html/amp Are people really this bad at keeping their narratives straight? I mean seriously, at least be consistent with your analyses. Read this post more than once this time before you reply. (Also, as a matter of note, Batman was at 463MM after two full weekends with absolutely no competition, not 486. https://www.google.com/amp/s/variety.com/2022/film/box-office/batman-box-office-robert-pattinson-second-weekend-1235203008/amp/ ) -J.

    Both statements are incorrect when you factor their relative budgets and that suicide squad had no China. The correct statement is , suicide squad, a truly terrible film, performed demonstrably better than the most recent, "well reveiewd" Batman movie. That is not a compliment to suicide squad it is an indictment of the batman movie. Even now it is still at a below average multiple and will be doing well at this point to even reach "average". It should have done a lot better business. Period. Especially in the wake of no way home. It won't even get within $100MM of homecoming which came out like 5 years ago. "Meh" is still the word for that. -J.
  23. Jaydogrules
    So... just trying to keep up with the ever shifting narratives here and there ... The ("Still Less Than 2016 Suicide Squad With No China") Batman was "raking it in" at 400MM box office (2x production), but morbius is DOA in its second weekend at 1.68X (just 24MM short of 2x)? -J.
  24. Jaydogrules
    Pretty clear the 7.5 cannibalized the 7.0. I don't know why HA would auction two books at the same time so close in grade. Still , only a ~10% difference is not a big difference even with the 7.5 gobbling up some of its bandwidth. -J.
