jsilverjanet Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 The current environment is impossible for any movie to meet pre pandemic levels social distancing creates loss of revenue as seats are designated as buffers Cleanings between showings also limits the number of times the movie is available furthermore i know my local theatre has less showings overall - later start than before finally - the world is opening up, it’s summer and I am not sure how much people miss the movie theatres compared to being out and getting back to normal theCapraAegagrus and greggy 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oops you're right the 4th totally slipped my mind, I don't know how much I'd actually adjust my estimate though. I think more people will going out of town to parties, parades, and barbecues rather than the movies. I'll say 110-115 on the high side to be generous. (disclaimer* I'm no financial analyst just an armchair movie enthusiast who checked boxofficemojo for the first time in almost 2 years so my opinion should be taken with than a grain of salt) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering I'm not seeing ads on TV and Google Trends, it will probably be on the low end. I do hope I'm wrong, since I like the character and it's the only MCU movie this year that looks interesting to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. But this movie should have come out in 2014. Right after Winter Soldier. D84, Bosco685, Larryw7 and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC, WW84 had glowing early reviews, too. Sadly, I'm not sure that I will be able to trust even audience scores for this one, as I think that too much anticipation will lead to too much forgiveness. We'll see, though. D84 and ▫️ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always count on the super-fanatic MCU (Millennials, Generation Y, Gen Z, iGen) that all they know is Marvel Studios and for all that is dear they will spend every last dollar to boost Disney's final box office take. Don Cheadle said it best before he deleted this most probably at the request of a certain studio. Same fellow went on to break the movie rewatch world record in seeing Avengers: Endgame 201X.
