I think it tells us a couple things:

1) we still go to movies in the summer to be entertained
2) we are getting tired of superheroes and want something different
3) Chris Pratt is going to be the next Harrison Ford-type franchise star (although honestly, I'd put him more as a Tom Selleck type, but with Ford-type movies).

Agreed.

Not at all. We just like things that are larger than life. Superheroes, dinosaurs, space battles, dystopian war. We like seeing those big, loud fantasies come to life whatever the form.

I have no idea where he's going. He's obviously got this to look forward to, as well as GOTG2 and the later Avengers movies.Dude is ina good place right now. Good for him.

Let's revisit this when Fantastic Four opens.

Meh, it reenforces that family movies make the most dough. Mom, Dad, the kids and all of their friends went to this one, whereas Mom and Dad don't get out to every superhero movie.

I think I saw that JW did $87 mil. on opening day alone. That's pretty crazy, seeing as how it's kind of shitty.
