Sequels… Now go and tell me how those wholly new franchises in Phase 4 stacked up? I didn’t say people threw in the towel on Superhero’s. But there is superhero fatigue out there, especially for things people aren’t already invested in Edited December 8, 2022 by StLunatic88 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me from the start, i only watched selective ones, and the ones im interested in became fewer and fewer. That said, im a huge james gunn fan and will definitely watch gotg3. But thats probably it for a while, and i didnt watch most of phase 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But thats probably it for a while, and i didnt watch most of phase 4 I have watched every single thing Marvel and DC, so I will be one of them that sees them all, and I will go multiple times for the best of them. While only anecdotally, these movies are less full than last phase. But if we want to talk actual numbers, I believe Phase 4 also includes 3 of the 5 lowest world wide grossing films (all the brand new series) only being bottomed by films released over a decade ago World wide isnt always as useful, so domestic I think it’s like 3 of the bottom 8 opening weekends, and 3 of the bottom 9 total domestic. Again, I’m not saying people are giving up on the MCU, but it’s pretty clear that a chunk of your average audience goers just aren’t latching on to the new stuff. If they aren’t already invested from the original 3 Phases, they don’t feel like they are obliged to see it. Not in theaters at least Edited December 8, 2022 by StLunatic88 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heres how many i watched Phase 1: 3 (1 in theater) Phase 2: 2 (1 in theaters) Phase 3: 5 or 6 (3 in theaters). This is the best phase Phase 4: 1 (1 in theaters) Phase 5: will watch 1, probably in theaters Phase 6: will watch 1, probably not in theaters Edited December 8, 2022 by Malfatron 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fresh Prince Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 Cap1, Thor 1-2, Antman, weren’t exactly box office smashes either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE DUKE Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 World Wide Grosses for MCU franchise starters: Iron Man: $585 million Incredible Hulk: $264 million Thor: $449 million CA First Avenger: $370 million Guardians: $773 million Ant-Man: $519 million Doctor Strange: $677 million Homecoming: $880 million Black Panther: $1.38 Billion Captain Marvel: $1.12 Billion Shang Chi: $432 million Eternals: $402 million Spiderman wasn't exactly a new property, Captain Marvel was riding high as the buffer between Infinity War and Endgame, Black panther was a cultural event. I don't think you can expect mega numbers for what the general audience essentially sees as new IP's that aren't nearly as well known as the OG Avengers. If the 2nd Shang Chi makes less than the first, then you might have a problem. The MCU is likely going to rake it in for 2023 with Quantamania, Guardians 3 (seen as the last one essentially too), and I think The Marvels will do good box office too. I don't think the lead up to Kang and Secret Wars will do Infinity War/Endgame numbers either, but I also don't think it's fair to expect that kind of numbers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gnat Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Seeing on the Twitters that most likely we'll be getting another GotG trailer soon. I am guessing for the Super Bowl, which I kind of expected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gnat Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 New Guardians of the Galaxy trailer from last night. Definitely shows more, and hints are some things, we'll have to see what comes from it. Had some solid lines in it. So I hope that it's a lot of fun like the other GotG movies have been. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE DUKE Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 Like Quantomania, i'm trying to avoid all the trailers and spoilers leading up into it. I've held out on Ant-Man (seeing it Friday), lets see if I can do the same here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
