Yeah. MOM is considered a flop given it's bridge and importance to thr future of the MCU.

Film should be well over 1B by now.

It was just a bad and corny movie. MOM was supposed to be heavily talked about the entire summer but most are forgetting that it came out.
Welp of course @AnonymityX1000 gonna argue that point but yes it was supposed to run the Summer. instead Top Gun 2 stole all the glory

Timeout. You two really felt a Doctor Strange movie would make a billion dollars? I don't see that. At all. And I doubt Disney/Marvel saw that. The first one didn't come anywhere close to that and that was pre pandemic. "Importance" in a larger story doesn't dictate how well these movies do; its about the character, and the cultural moment. A Doctor strange movie is still about...doctor strange. there is a ceiling there on how much money that movie will gross, regardless of what anyone on the internet believes.

It’s also not showing in China and Russia this time around, which is good for $120M+

People thought everybody and they mama will be in this movie. We thought it was gonna be cameos galore. Professor x, rumors of Tom cruise as iron man, blade, Wolverine, Deadpool, etc. And it was just coming off the heels of spider-man no way home. It's not a shock why everyone thought this would make a billion or more.

A movie making 900+ Million (especially a Dr. Strange movie) is not a “flop”. Flop gets used waaay too much. At the end of the day the movie was very profitable which is what every studios aim is. It may have not been a home run like No Way Home, but that’s Spiderman (arguable the most famous comic book character period).

'People', who is that but uber comic book nerds watching every Cosmic Wonder, Emergency Awesome video and taking every rumor as fact? That's like less than 5% of the audience.

At this point the MCU kinda like both the Lebron James and Steph Curry of the movie industry

Like Lebron they can be the #1 person in a game leading the game I all stats on some 47/17/14 shyt and niccas will be like “he needs to do more that was a bad game”

And like Curry in how the game is changed and everyone expects 30+ threes a game at like 10 from the logo

shyt is wild. :mjlol:

But Thor is coming soon :pachaha:

Nah. it's been proven that Captain Marvel did a billion because it was the lead in to an Avengers. iron man 3 did $1.3B because it was fresh off an Avengers.

Civil War was by far the biggest Cap because it was an event. Doctor Strange 2 was sold as an "event".. w/ cameos and a larger future "arc" coming out of it

Anything else is purely revisionist history.
