Audiences aren't sick of superhero movies, they're sick of BAD superhero movies.

Aaannd... I dont know where to put this one... but I did go for the jokes

And that was before the Sunday numbers were in. It could easily have added another $50 to $75 million domestic.

[–] MeekerThanBeaker@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

I believe they include projections for Sunday as well as most people probably bought their tickets ahead of time.

It was $211 million from Thursday through Sunday domestic, $444 million worldwide.

Looking forward to seeing this next weekend!

You might want to binge Loki in that time if you haven't seen it already. It's not like required viewing but you'll have a better understanding of things if you've seen it.

Seeing it tonight because people online keep trying to spoil it.

Ah, crap, I bet nobody was expecting that one!

[–] ryan213@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago

I don't even mind spoilers most of the time.

[–] lobut@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I thoroughly enjoyed! I'm sure you will too!

[–] ryan213@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago

Just wanted to avoid that opening weekend rush but it looks like I might need to wait a few more weekends. Lol

[–] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 month ago

Are the numbers adjusted for inflation though?

It's really quite a accomplishment considering people aren't going to movies like they did pre-covid. I saw the matinee and spent $19.50: $8 for admission, $11.50 for a medium soda and medium popcorn. Highway fucking robbery.

Huh, it's only 14A in Canada
