Captain Marvel played best on the coasts, but was huge all over. Read our previous update on how Captain Marvel was Teflon to the Internet trolls who griped about Brie Larson’s sincere call for diversity in critics, and how men are the leading demo for the female superhero female, which was not the case with Warner Bros./DC’s Wonder Woman. Disney reports that men turned out at 55% to females’ 45%, and that latter demo could well grow in next weekend’s exits. Disney did tee this off for female audiences with an opening release date on International Women’s Day.

Why would I be pissed that the film did well?

That's a question only you can answer.

Troll better Cuckeye.

I'm not surprised to see you pretend you haven't been whining for weeks.

What does this even mean in context of box office performance? Wether I decide to buy a ticket to see a movie for whatever reason, then it deserves the money I spent, even if I decided not to see it. Same with any body else. A movie’s merit, commercially, is exactly what it earns commercially.

Like pretty much everything else in a capitalistic endeavor. Your post reads like some socialist posting on the late-stage capitalism subreddit.

I also said her comments were stupid given the demographic this movie was targeting and that still stands.

Maybe it was stupid, but it didn’t seem to lead to the consequences that you were arguing as the reasons they were stupid.

I never once said I wouldn’t see the movie or hoped it bombed.

Well then you aren’t as ridiculous as those who were saying that. And judging by your posts on here and the MSB, they must be at a pretty extreme level of ridiculousness.

Now the question is if it will have legs.

---

Since it only had a 13.6% drop from Friday to Saturday, and the average drop was 29.6% for the other 24 movies that had over made over $60 million on its Friday opening, there isn’t any early signs of poor legs.

I doubt it will have Wonder Women level of legs (final gross was 4 times opening weekend), but I think $500 million is possible. I think $450 million is the most likely final total at this point in time, which would be better than average for that size of an opening, but not the among the very best.

So do you. At least I'm honest enough to keep it to one account.

This isn’t surprising at all.

Well, no, not to anyone with any sense.

Have you seen the prices of tickets lately?

---

Like broad inflation, ticket price increases have been pretty small relative to historical trends. Since 2010 they’ve only increased about 1.5% per year, whereas they increased about about 3.2% per year in the 20 years prior.

In other words, ticket prices haven’t suddenly increased dramatically where $153 million is suddenly not impressive. In fact, it would have made over $100 million in 2002ish ticket prices. And Spider-Man was the only movie to meet that milestone prior to 2004 and only 4 movies met it prior to the 2007.
