@therealsilvermane Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 July 9th for movie theaters across America is going to be like the prom scene in Back to the Future where Marty McFly suddenly perks back to life after George gives Lorraine the first kiss on the dance floor. Kong and Quiet Places Part Deux helped a little but half of Marty's torso is still missing. Black Widow's kiss is going to bring the movie theater industry roaring back to life.

Apparently it's not that good a movie? And nobody in America really cares about F9 getting delayed since last year and nobody here cares that it's already opened in China. Black Widow, on the other hand, could you imagine the uproar here in the states if Disney opened BW in China a week before opening here after this delay? Could you imagine the internet uproar if Chinese moviegoers gave BW the thumbs down and that it was bad? Hordes of moviegoers have marked Black Widow's release date as the weekend they return to the movies. Not so much Fast and the Furioso Part 36.

I might have to watch this in the theater. I’m going to see Quiet Place 2 in a few days. Haven’t been to the movies in a long while. I’m only home in the US a couple months out of the year anyway so I better get my fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree here but I really hope you’re right. I just don’t believe any single movie will do that. A new Avengers movie could hit this week and net close to a billion (maybe even break it) but after it leaves, the slump continues. There’s only a couple of must-see in theaters movies planned for the rest of the year for me. And I love going to the movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the 2021 summer slate after July 4th, I think Black Widow is the only "required viewing" movie. I mean it's the only franchise movie with a devoted following that millions of people are eagerly awaiting and who have to watch it. Not to say there aren't good movies coming out, but Black Widow is guaranteed to bring the biggest audience that theaters have seen since the pandemic began. Us Marvel fans(casual and hardcore) want our lives back, and part of that means watching a MCU movie debut in a movie theater (not on Disney+). A big part of my prediction is consecutive weeks of large audience turnout for Black Widow that creates a pattern. When that happens and happens safely and everybody figures out that maybe it is safe to go back to the movies, that will most likely keep a large enough segment of moviegoers coming back through the summer to watch all these less "required viewing" movies (like Suicide Squad Redux...eye roll) and that saves the movie theater industry. theCapraAegagrus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As noted above, the Fast and the Furious films have *at least* as big an audience & devoted following. Stating it right here - Fast and the Furious 9 will outdo Black Widow in the worldwide box office. More than that, it'll outperform it by $200 million+ Or...is this why you qualified your statement with "after July 4," because you know Fast 9 comes out in June?

Your purpose comes across more to cause disruption than good discussion. And that is why some assume you work for Disney or assume you do. The level of fanaticism is bordering on a sickness.

Ha ha...okay, let me go drop a couple grand on a psychiatrist and tell him/her "Before it starts to endanger the friends and family around me, it's been suggested I get professional help because I act like the Marvel Cinematic Universe is the #1 movie franchise in the world and the most entertaining on this comic book collectors forum I visit online.

How is it "required viewing"? She is dead, we all know how her story ends up. While that wasn't a bad trailer, there was nothing in it that compelled me to have to see this at the theaters (or even Disney+ until it is free).
