Bosco685 Posted April 5, 2021 Author Share Posted April 5, 2021 Although honestly Captain Marvel comes with extra knee padding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

@therealsilvermane Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 "Marvel and Disney's third Black Widow trailer scored more than 70 million viewers in its first 24 hours, surpassing the second trailer by a substantial margin, or more than 13 million views. The previous spot for the superhero pic earned 57 million views in its first day." Seems like excitement for the movie is only increasing. #blackwidowwillsavethemovietheaterindustry theCapraAegagrus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theCapraAegagrus Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 It seems to me like GvK already saved the theater industry. Marvel waited too long. bentbryan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To play in the 100 movie theaters that were open nationwide? I would have loved a May 7th opening, but I can agree with holding off in order to save lives as people who won't abide by mask wearing or refuse vaccines are mucking it up for the rest of us. A post July 4th opening is guaranteed more theater openings and more people in those seats. It's a good business move, and really just gives us MCU fans a black hole of content in May is all.

If Disney had more concern for the industry they wouldn’t be doing a simultaneous drop on D+ and also at the movies. You keep saying that BW will save the theaters but a lot of theater owners are pretty upset that it’s not theater exclusive. And I don’t blame them. July is far enough away with the vax rollout that they can stick to cinema only. F$$k Disney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but there are still going to be a lot of people who either will not go back to the theaters at all or still want to wait until the pandemic is 100% history which it won't be by July. I can't blame them. A simultaneous Premium Access Disney+ premiere is for those people. I'll be in the theater that weekend myself, maybe just not opening night.

I just don't see that happening. I think the one-two punch dynamic duo team-up of Top Gun 2 and Black Widow is what's going to truly bring the movie theater industry back from pandemic ruin.

There aren’t any big movies coming out in the next month. What GvK has done is kick started the industries stock including AMC and reopened the 2nd largest theater chain. They just pumped one bag through the IV. Now it’s up to all the studios to drop their movies to keep those fluids up. There’s no denying what this lame monster movie did for the industry. (I only enjoyed the last 20 minutes). But it was primed and the timing was right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it was primed and the timing was right. Well I think the timing of reopening so many theaters two weeks ago was obviously for GvK, but was mainly in anticipation of the perceived MCU juggernaut Black Widow on May 7th, which I admit kind of hosed the industry plan a bit by Disney moving the date and also making it a Disney+ stream hybrid. Again, I think GvK changed the pandemic habits for some people, but I just don't think it's enough yet to allow AMC, Regal, Cinemark, etc to come roaring back. I think July 4th is that date. There is a global horde of MCU fans chomping at the bit to see Black Widow, not on Disney+, but in all its glory at the Cineplex. The theater industry can take that to the bank. In the meantime, they're probably going to have to keep getting loans from the bank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
