    I thought that was silly of heritage to put out more than 1 9.8 copy of the UF4 variant in the same session. I suspect they have more copies in the pipeline for the next signature auctions. $27k and $26k are bargains for what those books went for last year.

    While the UF4's seemed to dip in price suffering from oversupply

    The lone dell'otto 9.6 seemed to remain flat or possibly rise from its $10k position last year.  I suspect a future 9.8 dell'otto will likely sell for around 25-30k but possibly more if its the only one for sale in 6 months or more.  Market correction is in full effect.

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

    -J..

  2. 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.

    No matter what happen with this cover. There will never be another 1 of 1 from Italy. Even Dell him self is looking for the printed version. Hear a click of him. He is in fact looking for it. 

     

    Would love to see one hit ebay.

    lol! i put that guy on ignore years ago and my experience here is so much better.

    saw the movie today with my son and we loved it. no audio problems. perhaps the most creative animation ever in the modern era. a bit overlong, but really a great ride. we cannot wait for the conclusion. i expect it to break records. 

    lol Yet you still seem ro know every time I post.  

    And you block everybody who challenges you on your batty "white page" comic fixation.  hm

    Audience: A CinemaScore

    BO: may be headed to $650M+ WW or 6.5x production budget

    Critics: 95 RT, 87 Metacritic

    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)

    You're not serious, right? This is a Friday haahaa moment?

    Did you assume she was just walking by during a Spider-Man: No Way Home interview with Feige and hopped in?

    Come on. Find some real discussion points to target. Not noise just to disrupt the forum.

    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.  lol

    I'll respond only because it would appear you read the wrong article, and "the woman" is the contracted producer of the Sony Spider-Verse films 

    LOL not necessary, as at least I helped guide you to reality.

    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. (thumbsu

    even better hold Int'l :flipbait:, trilogy will do $2.5B+ WW BO

    "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.

    In case you haven't heard...the 9.2 results

    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.

    Adding in 90 million for marketing still means it brought in more than twice its budget. Which means you're still wrong to suggest it "hardly broke even."

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

    "hardly broke even"? It made more than 4x its budget back. And it's one of the few comic book–based movies to win an Academy Award.

    Alan Scott?

    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.

    I know I am in the minority with view, but I do not really see why it has achieved the level of "key" status or value regardless of the things you mentioned. You mention organically, but a lot of modern books achieve "key" status as a result of discussions on this specific and similar boards by members sitting on substantial quantities of the book. It is a knock off of a well known character, and in my opinion nothing more, and I would use this argument for X-23 etc. I understand all characters can be, and a lot of times are derivatives of well established characters, but I personally just do not see it. I'm not trying to argue with anyone, I can understand why individuals think it's an important book, I just never got it.

    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.  :eyeroll: 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.

    I’m not saying this is the reason Shazam 2 bombed. 

    i am saying the Rock was  thinking about himself and himself only.

    undisputable.

    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.

  14. 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.
