What are your thoughts on the CBCS UF, 9.8 copy result (which was the last one to sell yesterday for 18k)? -J..

There were a bunch more uf variants in the heritage auction that just closed- 3, 9.8's and a 9.6. There was one ASM 667 Dell'otto, a 9.6. 9.8 yellow label Signed and sketched by two artists uf 4 went for 33k. Blue label 9.8 uf 4 (cgc) went for 27.6K. (That was after the comiclink sale from a gew days ago for another copy of 26.2k.) Blue label 9.8 uf 4 (cbcs) went for 18k. Blue label 9.6 uf 4 went for 7k. Blue label 9.6, 667 Dell'otto went for 12k. -J.

-J.

Would love to see one hit ebay. -J.

Yet you still seem ro know every time I post. And you block everybody who challenges you on your batty "white page" comic fixation. -J.

International was soft again, just like it was with the first one. $550M worldwide by the end. (IMDB shows the budget at $150M, by the way) -J.

I have to wait to watch it on a smaller screen. The animation style is just too much for me on a big screen. -J.

You can believe whatever you want about her actual position of influence there, my point stands. You'll likely end up waiting longer for this movie to happen than you did Black Adam. -J.

Except, as I said , she is not actually a "producer" at Sony, she only gets a legacy credit there because of her involvement with the original films, and no where in that article did she say "a live action miles morales movie (is) in thr works". That part is spin by the author of the article. "It's all happening" is all she said and that doesn't mean anything. What's "all happening"? Sony has hundreds of spider characters they own, and yeah I bet they're looking at some kind of way to monetize all of them., morales was singled out by the hopium smoking shill media, not by her, not that she will be the one deciding on any of them. The only actual confirmation of a movie actually in development that she mentioned was the MCU spider-man 4 which is on hold because of the writers strike. RIF. -J.

I read the actual quote. No such movie is actually "pending". The woman doesn't even work for Sony for crying out loud. Lol -J.

"900MM+"? Yeah I don't know about that. This ain't last year when only one big movie came out every 4-6 weeks. This would have to absolutely bury Fast and Furious alive worldwide to hit that number. -J.

Lovely. 😍 -J.

Then there was another.... https://comics.ha.com/itm/modern-age-1980-present-/superhero/amazing-spider-man-667-dell-otto-variant-cover-marvel-2011-cgc-nm-94-white-pages/a/122319-13808.s?ic2=mytracked-lotspage-lotlinks-12202013&tab=MyTrackedLots-101116 -J.

Nobody does lighting effects and negative space like Dell'otto. Love it. -J.

The 9.2 ASM 667 Dell'otto variant sold for 10.6k, within a day of a UF 4 variant graded at 9.6 (two grades higher) sold for 8100. This is why an outlier sale here or there doesn't move the needle. The ASM 667 is the King. -J.

That was a Wolverine 1 Campbell. I'm pretty sure the last (graded, at least) copy on ebay was the 8.0 a year, year and a half ago for $7700+. -J.

Been what about a year, year and a half since one has been on ebay? -J.

Rumor has it that WB is going to pay itself 600MM to stream this on HBOMax, thus guaranteeing it a place on Deadline's most valuable box office derby next year. -J.

Studios only get back about half of box office, so yes, it hardly/barely broke even theatrically after all was said and done. -J.

The "multiple" on movies with smaller budgets are skewed because the marketing on them remains the same. It had about a 90 million dollar budget with about another 90 million spent on worldwide prints, ads and distribution. Which makes its 360M look "meh" especially when compared to Venom which came out the same year, had a similar budget and made $850M And nobody cares about Oscar winning cartoons (or the Oscars in general anymore for that matter lol). But as those go, it's actually the third lowest grossing cartoon to get an Oscar in history, only ahead of Rango and Spirited Away. Hell, Puss and Boots made more money at the tail end of a pandemic and no China release. -J.

Of course everyone knows what you're saying is true. But there's a lot of people on these boards/facebook groups that evidently have their life savings invested in this character or something and they NEED to believe that there is more to this character than there has ever been or ever will be. No, he is nothing more than one of hundreds of other derivative spider rip off wannabes. The level and degree of pump and dump I've seen with this character has been unprecedented. And to those who say "he's 'this generation's Spider-man'". Whatever. I'm pretty sure much more of "this generation" has seen actual Spider-man in billion dollar MCU movies the last ten years than have the one low rent Sony cartoon that hardly broke even at the box office. Which is why, even in nerd space, people.almost universally refer to him by his first name , not his absurd and ridiuculous hijacked identity name, including by Marvel on his low selling comic books. I mean seriously Marvel, give the guy his own hero identity already so he can NOT be forever engulfed and rendered ultimately irrelevant by actual Spider-man's long, tall and insurmountable shadow. Everybody knows who Spider-man actually is just like everybody knows who Batman is and everyone knows who Thor is and everyone knows who Wolverine is and even many if not most non comic readers know who the real Green Lantern is, if not by actual name, by picture. -J.

Good. Disney just got the exact out they needed. -J.

That was also a factor of Dwayne believing his own press releases that he is a bigger star than he really is. He has never been a solo box office draw. Never. -J.

Shazam had plenty of advertising. I couldn't go 2 minutes without seeing a commercial for it on roku, TNT TBS, and what few major network shows I watch. It also had the marquee billboard on a famous major blvd where I live for weeks. The movie bombed because it is a D list character that few people in the real world actually cared about. The first one didn't make any money either and only made what it did because it was riding the super hero gravy train that was peaking at the time. I expect the spider-verse cartoon sequel to encounter similar headwinds as Shazam 2 for similar reasons. Not coincidentally, the first ones came out the same year, had similar budgets, made a similar amount of under-whelming box office which certian industry shills and internet people tried desperately to paint as "successful", and had a better release dates with less competition, and at the same peak of hero movies that have since seemed to have worn out their welcome. At the end of the day, both of the movies were also delayed from original relase dates that most likely would have allowed them to make more money. -J.

They're probably adding in five more Kangs. That should do it. -J.
