UF4 takes ASM 667 again!
By my count that's still 4-2 Dell'otto. And there are no more Dell'otto's. ;)

A 9.8 copy of the #1 ASM 667 Dell'otto is on comiclink's featured auction.

this is Twilight level bad, this may struggle to break $500MM WW
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania which is currently seeing an OMG -71% drop with a $30M second weekend
Bu-bu-but Deadline said it would do $40M+ this weekend earlier. You mean to tell me that one of the industry's biggest shill sites could be.....wrong ?

Well this is tracking horribly, as should surprise no one. My original prediction for this was 300. May bump that up to 300-325M with the China release, but either way this movie will prove to be as pointless and ill advised as Black Adam.

The mistake they made was not following the Phase 1 slow play with the big bad. Too much Kang too early.
This. Way too much Kang way too early, leads me to believe (hope) they're actually not going to be leaning on this weak sauce D list villain and have another real Big Bad waiting in the wings pulling the strings.

And the correct number is now 257M. As I already stated, the "Italian" gross on thenumbers is egregiously incorrect. Going to be very lucky to even hit 600M at this point. Yet another MCU money loser.

I'm just wondering how many more pointless movies with Kang they're going to try to poop out before we get the "Avengers" movie with a bunch of nobody "Avengers" that nobody wants to see that ends with the inevitable Matrix Revolutions style CGI crapfest with a bunch of neverending Kangs charging at our heroes and being thrown all around like weightless Agent Smith clay dolls.
Can't wait!

278 million in the first 5 days is good for Kangs first movie!!
Except that it's actually only made 250M. The "49M" being reported by the numbers is clearly wrong. And again, mighty funny how the box office reporting on this FLOP are seemingly deliberately wonky and always immediately being pumped by Marvel shills before they are eventually.and quietly "corrected".

someone at Box Office Mojo got back in the office after the holiday weekend
What a convenient "mistake" that allowed a few shills, including many in the shill media, to quickly circulate as much misinformation as they could to help make this bomb look better than it is.

Can you please stop posting this misinformation? It didn't make anywhere near that, okay? You can literally see how little the movie has made in each country, broken out per country. And no, it ain't good.

The recent history of MCU films is they do 2.5 times the opening weekend. That puts this movie at $562 million as a reasonable guess right now. With the holiday weekend in the US, maybe put another $10 million over the normal number. So yeah, looking at $575 million.
Makes me wonder way the International estimates were so off.
Again a big number, but not for an MCU film that had a $200 million budget, and likely will spend $100 to $150 million in marketing. I think the higher end with the amount Disney spent on Superball ads. Again, this is why they need to get budgets down. Especially when the last Ant Man movie budget was $162 and the first was $130 million.
I think what we are seeing here is that nothing but B-D list characters are not going to be able to carry the MCU forward.

Okay
Those aren't actuals. The actuals are about 223M right now. I stand by my 575-600M. This movie is not doing well either.

$225 million is fairly weak for an MCU film. Based on current performance of MCU films this likely means the $600 to $650 million range.
Nah that US is weak and unlike Flop-anda this doesn't have a 5 week cakewalk with no other releases. I'm saying 575-600M.

In general, int’l BO #’s are weak. Going to struggle to do $600M+ WW.
Marvel's latest flop.
Somebody fire the genius that greenlit this at $200M (the same amount Sony spent on No Way Home). Is Guardians 3 going to be enough to salvage 2023 for the MCU (since The Marvels is already doomed)?

I'm not sure about box office but I enjoyed the 1st one and I'm excited to go see the second. It may do better then we think just because kids movies have been doing pretty well this winter (parents getting rid of their teens for a couple hours). Any word yet on the budget?
The only reference to a budget I've been able to find was a Rolling stones article that said it was $125MM. But that was from 6 months ago and that number could be stale.

This one will struggle to even hit 300MM worldwide.
Remind me again how this and black adam even got green lit in the first place , given the nothing box office returns of the first one?

Hard to imagine BP2 does much business in China given it will have been out for 3 months before landing there; Jungle Cruise was released in China 3 1/2 months after US and did a grand total of $7M. I guess we'll see.
Did manage to pass $450M US
This might be one of the most hilariously delusional cope articles by a fanboi of a failed movie that I have ever seen.
I mean, does this even qualify as "journalism"?

CGC 9.2 Ultimate Fallout #4 Newsstand sold for $3,651. Not much to D'oh! about, since the book was $3.99 when it came out and required no retailer ratio incentive returns/orders/premiums to be purchased, and it's just a CGC 9.2.
Artificial scarcity is the "QVC" of the industry... anyone can make something scarce on purpose, and they'll never stop doing it. Publishers can even make books that are limited to 25, 10, 5, or unique, causing the earlier "big money" variants with a few dozen graded to look almost common... so it's only a matter of time before the comics with a lack of meaningful content are forgotten. First appearance of Miles Morales isn't a lack of content, and this book wasn't printed just to be a ratio incentive. It's an important book during the remnant of the end of an era, not a big name artist wrapping pretty colors around pages no one wants.
Most Valuable Modern Variants is a list of several books where "the pages inside don't matter" and there are dozens already in CGC slabs. That's a dangerous combo. Be sure to keep that topic going so we'll know who else to laugh at. The NFTs of the comic industry (where the pages don't matter) aren't as safe as you think they are.
Just wondering if you realize how absolutely ridiculous this post sounds, on the one hand trying, quite badly I might add, to denigrate what many if not most modern collectors collect (variants) based on a "lack of content" (gee it's almost like collectors haven't highly valued comics based on cover art alone going back to the GA) while simultaneously trying to pump up the imagined ",value" of a book that's based on nothing more than the type of bar code it has on the front cover.
FYI, if somebody wanted the first appearance of morales, there's hundreds of copies always readily available and can be had for a few hundred dollars. No one need spend "thousands" of dollars to get that, if they do it's because they want something that's "rarer", which, along with demand, drives the value of these things, be it based on beautiful cover art by a generational artist, or the first appearance of a movie spec character.
Muh capitalism.

I’m surprised that Black Panther will get a debut at all in that market. China has traditionally denied domestic release of any film depicting an afterlife. One of the rare exceptions was Disney’s Coco with the justification that the depicted afterlife focused on honoring one’s ancestors.
I doooooooon’t know if Shuri meeting up with her half brother debating vengeance falls into that same category as Coco.
They've probably chopped the movie up to satisfy the censors there.
To what avail , I'm not sure. The movie is going to make very little there. I can't even imagine that Disney will actually make any money from the country what with the terrible splits, marketing and distribution costs there after all is said and done. Disney probably threw this one in for free to get them to take Ant-man.
My gut tells me this is just a sad face saving attempt to try to pump up the disappointing final box office number just a little more, even if they lose money there in the end.
What a dumb, pointless movie this was.

MOST VALUABLE MODERN VARIANTS - THE RANKINGS
in Modern Age Comic Books

You're looking at GPA data based on one sale in one grade.. I'm looking at 6 total head to heads in 9.8 two of which are not on GPA, and that stands Dell'otto, 4-2 and every other grade. There will not be any further any time soon. Meanwhile , many more copies of UF 4 will be coming out over the next few months. Total head to heads, Dell'otto takes it in 9.8, and hadily.wins in every grade below a 9.8.
