WB ordered a few posters of WW by manga artists and the guy who does all of Kojima's mechs, right?

The shonen movies seem to do pretty well. But after a quick look at Box-Office Mojo, the local superhero films seem to be a really niche market. $7,897,263 for the latest Kamen Rider movie and $3,511,088 for Kamen Rider x Super Sentai.
Mmmh...

Frozen made 250M in Japan alone. Crazy.
Me too, and what is really annoying is Peter looks more polished in Civil War. He took a step back for Homecoming which makes no sense.
I think I've come to realize the high school setting didn't bother me too much, but it was watching Spidernoob again which became annoying.
I didn't realize this in the movie, but yeah he was straight up doing air combos in CW
EDIT: my fault, didn't realize this was the old thread

I never would have imagined WW doing 800m. Super stoked that it's done as well as it has.
Expect that studios are focus grouping this like mad - how is it having such great legs, what is the appeal? We probably already know which factors played most significantly, but the repeat viewership has to be off the charts.
... It was a minor difference that doesn't impact its already known success. Why is that YASSSS?

How is Homecoming doing in the box office?
If King Arthur and Valerian had a baby, that would be Homecoming's box office performance.

lol he was joking...it's doing fine at the box office and will hit $300+m dom.

The Homecoming "doing bad" narrative may be one of the weirder (incorrect) storylines of the box office conversations recently.
Like its not destroying the charts, but its doing plenty well

That's why the narrative took off. And the clickbait article about the Fri-Fri drop.
In the end, it looks like it is behaving like a typical MCU film. No more, no less. At least for the moment.
Somehow doing better than the last Spidey but less than a billion is "doing bad". It's weird.
Safe to say Homecoming will be the biggest non-billion dollar grossing MCU film to date, assuming its foreign take is in line with other Spidey films.

It's also weird that this discussion is still happening in last week's box office thread.

LOL. I didn't even notice. Just saw the unread thread in my subscriptions.

Yeah that's a pretty perfect description (though actually higher than the MCU average).
This isn't some massive breakout, unheard of success, but its performing in line with a solid grossing MCU film. That is in no way poor though. I wouldn't call it "great" but its solid.
Like people realize the trajectory the Amazing Spidey franchise was on right? Had we gotten ASM3 instead of Homecoming then we would have had a true bomb on our hands worth talking about.
Edit - wait we are in LAST WEEK's Box Office thread?! LMAO I somehow totally missed that

Was looking up showtimes at my theater for Dunkirk and damn Transformers is already gone while WW is STILL alive and kicking. Crazy.
Classic case of click-bait articles circling the internet and people just glossing over them without taking anything in.

It really rankles me on a few fronts.
- overuse of "bomb"
- snowball effect of any internet criticism
- I really, really liked Homecoming
