Ignore the Sadie Sink thing. I fell for a bull**** tweet among all the other Spidey news.

Good grief, I had to read that 3 times before I realized that he didn't have ill will towards Tom Holland.

Are all movies suffering similar effects?

To be clear, it dropping 66% on the weekend. Still bad, but not as bad as the one-day 80% comparison makes it out to be. And no, not all movies are suffering similar effects. Some, yes, but this seems to be more of a Marvel problem as of late than anything else.

What's considered a normal or acceptable drop-off limit for second weekend?

I think 50-60% is to be expected. 50% is impressive, 60% is disappointing, that kind of thing.

Normal drop is around 40-50% or so.

I could be wrong but I feel like with blockbusters it's a little bigger because it can be so front loaded (midnight showings, or now Thursday nights, etc.). Still, it's definitely a sign of legs.

The practical wirework they're doing for this is pretty awesome...

also the opening weekend Friday numbers always include the early Thursday and any prior $$$ days as well….

So I always look at Saturday and Sunday only….those were around the mid 50% mark….

any comic book nerds want to weigh in on this one?

That's like one of those fun, but meaningless easter eggs, imo.

I suppose it's always possible that whatever movie Doom appears starts off with him killing 5000 people as a boy

The greatest ending would be:

Dr. Doom pulls off his mask revealing that he is RDJ. Everybody fake gasps.

RDJ then pulls off his mask (mission impossible style) and reveals that he is actually Deadpool.

Then Luis pops in the scene and gets everybody caught up revealing that…(thanks to some chat gpt help)
INT. AVENGERS COMPOUND DAY
(The camera is handheld, following Luis as he bursts through a hallway, clearly mid-story. He's holding a soda, gesturing wildly. Deadpool is lounging in the background, eating chimichangas.)

LUIS:
Okay, so, picture thisright? I'm at my cousin Ernesto's birthday party, and I'm talking to this dude who knows a guy who was a set painter for Iron Man 3, and he saysget thisDeadpool's been trying to get into an Avengers movie for years, man. Like, straight up camping outside Kevin Feige's house, "accidentally" delivering Uber Eats, wearing one of those mustaches that's just, like, felt with glue.

(Cut to quick flashback montage: Deadpool in a trench coat delivering tacos to a suspicious Kevin Feige.)

LUIS (V.O.):
And everybody's like, "Nah man, you're too Rated R, the mouse ain't ready for that," and Deadpool's all, "Cool, cool, cool, so I'll just make my own Avengers-level event."

(Cut back to Luis, who takes a dramatic sip from his soda.)

LUIS:
So what does this guy do? Pretends to be Doctor Doom. Yeah! He rents this beat-up green cloak from a Spirit Halloween in Burbank, learns, like, three phrases in Latverian, starts a fake invasion of New York. I'm talking explosions, laser beams, people screaminglike, "Oh no, not the Chrysler Building!"

(Flashback montage: Deadpool in a duct-taped Doom mask, awkwardly reading from cue cards while explosions go off behind him.)

LUIS (V.O.):
And here's the crazy part, everybody's like "Oh no it's Loki again." Realizing that didn't work, he tells me, "Luis, the only way people will take Doom seriously is if you cast Robert Downey Jr. as him." And I'm like, "But bro, wasn't he Iron Man?" And Deadpool's like, "Exactly, man, it's meta. The fans will lose their minds. It's like the Spider-Verse, but with lawsuits."

(Back to present: Luis is now pacing, building up steam.)

LUIS:
So now, all the heroes are freaking out, the Avengers assemble, and Deadpool's just sitting there like, "Oh wow, how did I get here? Guess I'm part of the team now." And the wildest thing? Nobody even noticed until Hulk was like, "Wait… why does Doom smell like chimichangas?" Boom! Mask comes off, everybody's yelling, Tony Stark is confused 'cause he's dead but also somehow watching from the afterlife, and

DEADPOOL (off-camera):
Spoilers, Luis. Some of us haven't seen Endgame yet.

LUIS:
Man, that movie came out in 2019.

DEADPOOL:
Yeah, and Morbius came out in 2022. Doesn't mean I've seen it.

LUIS:
Nobody's seen it, bro

Hey, someone on this board predicted the Clint and family scene at the beginning of Endgame. Maybe Marvel read that and went with it.

Someone send this page of the thread to them!

As a fellow occasional Luis dialogue writer, well done.

I always wondered about the lyrics for Ironman. In context of Tony Stark coming back as Doom and everhthing the MCU has already done, what if they based some of their choices on the literal lyrics of the song? Holy crap.

Not to take away from the post above cause that sounds pretty awesome….but I'm curious how much interest there's going to be in Doomsday….

Fantastic 4 was supposed to be the MCUs last shot in setting up any sort of hype for Doomsday from a movie and at this point it's still below Antman Quantumania in the overall box office…..and what's alarming is the domestic box office is actually BETTER for F4 than any marvel film in a while but the international just plain sucks…..

Go back and look at how much $$$$$$ came from the international from Infinity War and Endgame….thats not good for the MCU if internationaly folks have checked out and if they want these films to make money they're going to need to find a way to make the budgets much lower cause F4 is going to be 0-3 on making a profit on MCU movies this year….

F4 was really underwhelming for me and I went in with no expectations, hopefully they right the ship.

Excited for Spider-Man though.

I still haven't seen it. It looks like its probably good, but I just can't get excited. I partially think thats because pedro pascal kind of annoys me...or just marvel exhaustion finally hit? but I dont know.

I can understand folks being tired of seeing him but he's pretty dang good in this and does justice to the role of Mr Fantastic….

Personally I still would have liked to have seen Jim from the office reprise the role but Pedro was still really good
redline248

The Pedro fatigue could be real, idk. Also, how big of a star is the woman who plays Sue? I haven't seen anything else she's in and I wonder if she's not that big of a draw...and she's really the main character, imo.

The guy who plays Johnny always distracts me b/c he looks like when they de-aged Robert Downey Jr. for whichever movie he was showing off his brain tech. And the voice actor for Ben really doesn't matter.

The movie is decent but there are tons of reason why people would wait for it to hit streaming.


Oh, I just decided to look at the "top box office for 2025." World wide, FF4 has already passed both Brave New World and Thunderbolts. Domestically it has passed F1 and Mission Impossible and is barely trailing How to Train Your Dragon. So, I don't know that it's doing all that terribly relative to everything else. Lilo and Stitch and Minecraft, both kids movies, are tops, with Jurrassic World behind them.
