BettrFastrStrongr Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 (edited) AWESOME!!! CHARTS!!!! Why thanks! Coming from you, that means... Well, nothing really, since you are just posting to post. Not true. I would rather talk about the movie but instead we have pages and pages of useless (IMHO) charts, people quoting said charts, and others posting more charts to prove the posted charts wrong. I like charts, just not when I would rather talk about a film. So better to pop into a thread and post about someone squeezing Margot Robbie's boob? Is that the deep, engaging discussion points you desire? Yeah. I'll keep posting those charts. Thanks. That wasn't me but yeah, I would rather talk about Robbie's boobs.

Firespitter Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Some of us are a bit OC(D), and very interested in the value tracking of the superhero movie trends week to week. In my mind, where people spend their money is more telling than some hipster who owns a ton of slabs but never read a comic book giving us his double-entendre/tongue in cheek/"expert" opinions on the quality of a movie they just saw. Bosco deserves a big thumbs up for going through the effort of doing a lot of work setting up the tracking and keeping current on it. It is a dollars to donuts view of how Antman, despite arguments that the opening weekend was poor compared to prognosticators, has made up for it over time. A real tortoise sans hare story. Maybe when it pulls out of theatres or it has hit foreign theatres, we can let it go then, when it has proven itself to be a respectable, yet slow moving money maker. And I find the graphs and spreadsheets are just as entertaining as any meme or animated gif I've seen on here. -Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't always quality of the film, case in point: Why is Iron Man 3 near the top of the list? It was a horrible movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosco685 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Thanks folks. Iron Man 3 definitely is an interesting case. Marvel Studios did do something different with the special Chinese footage played in that market so they could feel appreciated. And it did pay off.

I guess it was pretty successful... so does that mean more movies with alternate endings for specific regions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
