Why do you keep posting stuff like this? It's doing great. It has SIGNIFICANTLY worse overseas exchange rates vs the original trilogy (and ASMs) and is rebuilding the brand a bit after the last two - widely disliked - entries. It's doing fine.

Yes, let's mock exited people about a great trailer for a movie by an outstanding director for a character that's had two middling movies.
I smell a Stan, all right.

Thor 1 is still one of the best MCU movies ever, and the Ragnarok trailer was just okay.

It's certainly one of the most underrated. I like it a lot.
It's funny, I didn't love it on first viewing, but a second watch sold me on it thoroughly.
Don't do this, jett

Thor: Ragnarok |OT| - Do It For TH3R
Being excited for a movie and making idiotic claims about it doing a billion are very different things.

Well I'm glad you're wrong
It was never going to blow the Raimi movies away domestically. It's about rebuilding a brand.

I'm giving up on basing my expectations on trailers after SM:H. I didn't like the trailer for that at all, and loved the movie.

Below even TDW and Hulk?
I am pessimist and I fear what Sony will do if this fails to reach 1bn $
Yeah, but very, very slightly. Those three were the bottom-tier composition.

I'm also in the camp that puts The Dark World > Thor 1. But both movies are about as mediocre as it gets in the MCU.

I have no idea why you're so worried, I gave Spidey the Bronson Bump, it's fine
Haha don't worry. Spider-Man will be in Avengers 3/4 and it'll get a Homecoming 2 (or whatever) at a minimum. The critical reception (coupled with very good box office numbers) means Sony is probably ecstatic.
Edit: SM:H's first Tuesday was higher than GotG2, WW and SS. I think it'll be okay.
Which Hulk are we talkin' here?
'Cause I'll """"Stan"""" for Ang Lee's Hulk.
Is this the part where I'm told that stanning is a thing outside GAF?

Weren't you the one that got upset about comparing Spider-Man grosses to Wonder Woman's and complaining we were dragging WW in doing so?

The movie where Thor goes through his entire exile and redemption arc in a week?
Stan Wars: The Farce Awakens
Yeah, Sony has so many box office hits these days, I can't see them being happy with $800m+.
Yes, same poster lmao
Speaking of movies with questionable prequels,
I'm looking forward to seeing what Apes will bring in. I go ape for apes.
You aren't the boss of me, T4K.

I'm legit shocked this might pass GotG2 domestically. Entirely due to long legs.

Yeah Thor expectations have become wildly inflated, in large part probably because that trailer was so damn good.
But still these expectations of like a Billion are crazy

Would be awesome if WW was the highest grossing superhero movie of the year (domestic). Didn't like it as much as Logan. But I didn't expect to like it more than Spider-Man homecoming or particularly guardians 2 either.
That no man's land scene was fire. Not just the action but seeing the direct influence she has on the people around her

Stan is in the dictionary now.
I mean Justice League is always so tough to predict, but it has a high chance of doing so.
Wonder Womans got those gams.
I think it also cost like 100 million dollars less to produce and the marketing push was was less then ASM2. Sony is going to be super happy with their books at 800 mil, especially with current exchange rates.
Is there talk of doing an actual Planet of the Apes for the fourth film? They did talk about the mars mission in the first film in the background, so you already have your off earth people to return for a Planet remake.

Oh right. If anything hits a billion for that genre this year it will be that but who knows.

What is with the doom and gloom surrounding Spider-Man here? It seems to be doing fine?
I will wait for the domestic + international take from the second week before claiming it is doomed.

How can it be doomed? Even if the legs aren't great, it's a solid hit.
Or is this one of those "if it doesn't make 3x its production budget, it lost money" things?
Seems pretty typical of a blockbuster.

What other countries are left for SM:H to open up in? Seem they did well in SK.

Nobody is claiming doom. Just it probably having normal, instead of spectacular legs for a superhero film.
