Sounds like something's eating away over there...

I'm telling you what's trending. Don't argue with me, argue with all
of them.
Monker wrote:I have NO interest in Dunkirk.
You don't, while scores of others do. It's already a critical smash. Isn't that what gives your type a major woody?
Monker wrote:I have more interest in Valerian than Spiderman.
Same here.
Monker wrote:And, Valerian is trying to ride some type of nostalgic coattails of Fifth Element.
Definitely, and I love that movie (also influenced by the
Valerian comic, which Luc Besson loves).

It's not going to do that well in the US. You've been forewarned.

Monker wrote:Again, how does the second week of Homecoming and WW compare? Box Office Mojo does not have them up yet.
Yes, they're up, minus today's take (Thursday). So for Friday through Wednesday, Wonder Woman's daily grosses are all higher, even on Discount Tuesday. But the biggest difference is the weekend, where
WW made 14.4 million more than
SM:H.
Monker wrote:I doubt it will...so what? It's got a lot of competition, and it's later in the summer. I would never expect it to compete with WW or GotG2, which were both in prime time, and neither had a lot of competition.
Why would you NOT expect it to compete? It's SPIDER-MAN, dude. He's the #1 selling superhero property in the world. MCU-philes expected
Homecoming to smear everything as a scythe clears a corn field...except that didn't happen.
And
WW will beat
GOTG2's domestic haul before the end of the month.
