@therealsilvermane Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 On 11/16/2021 at 5:58 PM, Broke as a Joke said: No Black Widow sequel (obviously), no announced Shang-Chi sequel and I'm thinking Eternals is fighting an uphill battle to get another. Could be phase bore (I'm going with that) could likely be all one and dones. Bring on the FF and the X-men please... Geeks Worldwide, a reliable proven MCU insider source, has reported that a Shang-Chi sequel is in the works. But no official Disney announcement yet means there won't be a Shang-Chi sequel? Obviously Kevin Feige isn't going to go up on stage somewhere in the next week or so and blast the Shang-Chi 2 logo up on a screen and have the cast members old and new come out, only two months after the movie just came out and became the biggest hit of the pandemic era so far. Marvel is bringing on X-Men in the form of the X-Men '97 Animated Series on Disney+. Does Phase "Bore" for you include No Way Home, Multiverse of Madness, Love and Thunder, Quantumania, and Wakanda Forever? Obviously it must include The Marvels...obviously...

I have no idea if there will be a Shang-Chi 2, but they announce Duned 2 almost right away. Just saying. Disney seems to be very cautious right now. I still think X-Men 97 is a relatively inexpressive, safe stop gap because D+ is starved for content. I am not sure where phase 4 is going at this point. I have personally not been impressed with what I have seen thus far. I think it has been rather boring and safe, and does not have the focus that earlier movies had. Part of the MCU's success is it always felt like it was connected and going somewhere. That seems to be a little lost at this point.

@therealsilvermane Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 News report from Sept. 25, 2021: "Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings is now the highest-grossing movie of the COVID era in North America, surpassing the $183.4 million earned by Black Widow. Shang-Chi took in $3.59 million on Friday for a domestic total of $186.7 million, the best domestic gross for a movie since the pandemic began." And now its North America take stands at $224 million. The highest in the pandemic era. I'm just reporting the facts here, man. Finhead and Bosco685 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dune 2 is obviously expected as the thing unexpectedly cuts off just as it's getting mildly interesting. Kevin Feige and Disney don't formally announce Marvel sequels the month after the origin story movie debuts in theaters and they never have.

The Demon Slayer movie only did about $48 million in the US, so by certain people's logic it is a failure. Ignor the fact it did $503 million worldwide. Also ignor 3 of the top 5 box office returns this year are Chinese movies. But again, these are all failures because of low US returns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It a dirty little trick. The jist of it is all movies are made under a new company. If you are making movie X, it would be movie X LLC. The LLC shoulders all of the production costs and sellers for making the movie. That LLC then contracts with say Disney to promote, distribute, and finance the film. Disney charges movie X LLC so much money for these services that the LLC will always show a loss. Then Disney, who actually owns the LLC, files taxes stating the LLC lost money and uses those refunds to offset some of what the parent company made. I know I do not understand all of how this is done. But that is the idea. Bohemian Rhapsody screenwriter Anthony McCarten has filed a breach of contract suit against Graham King and his GK Films for money owed on the 2018 Best Picture-nominated film about Queen and its iconic singer Freddie Mercury. The lawsuit hit today and shows a fascinating peek behind the curtain that shows what happens when participants rely on studio net point deals. The $55 million budget film grossed $911 million worldwide, and yet according to accounting statements issued by Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation, Bohemian Rhapsody is in the red, to the tune of $51 million.

The others were in a New Mexico desert town (Thor) and London (Thor 2). If you count Captain Marvel, then it was Los Angeles and the California desert. New York City doesn't get invaded again until Infinity War when Thanos' Black Order come looking for the Time Stone. Infinity War's big space invasion occurs in Wakanda.
