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.

Yup. Sorry @MartyMcFly but that's the truth :manny: And that's why it had a 69% drop after the OW. Most MCU movies are not that frontloaded.

Anyone who discusses B.O. will tell you that frontloaded and a poor multiplier means WOM was not as strong as they thought

It'll never happen because Disney has a tried & true method but Daredevil & Punisher need R rated films in the vein of Joker & the new Batman. Won't solve their problem but it'll be a breath of fresh air while they figure out the PG13 moves. If they had any balls, they'd introduce Miles Morales in a couple of years, too.

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.

I hate when people talk to just to talk.

The film was always projected to top 1 billion.

"Chaos magic is headed to the box office. The official prediction for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is an opening weekend gross of $205 million, totaling $520 million domestically, and a worldwide haul of $1.1 billion."

Why are folks acting obtuse? :russ: folks really believe this is the same Doctor strange, status wise, from 2016. Dude is basically carrying the mcu right now. This movie was hyped beyond belief. The belief was that no way home was a lil taste of what's to come with the mulitverse and this film was suppose to be the one where they go all out with it. Hence the title. Yet we got a bait and switch, and only got like 5 cameos In the movie

I already made 2 threads about the state of Marvel.


Disney + and the Fox deal have given them more storylines than they can put out in a timely manner.

And the fans don’t really want a slow burn anymore. Which is why everything Marvel puts out feels rushed.

I think what people are saying is they personally didn't think it would make a billion not whatever box office website predicted. I guess they were right and "The Direct" was wrong. :yeshrug:

You missed where it said "official prediction".

The movie industry predicted that it would top 1 billion, not some media outlet

It doesn’t FEEL rushed, it is rushed. These aren’t shows that were in development for years and well thought out. They just rifling these shyts off quick. “Ohh we need to retire Hawkeye, instead of just saying it in a movie, let’s devote a whole show to it.”

Except the show sucks. “Oh well it was just so we could tell that story so don’t put it up there with Thor or nothing.”


Its bullshyt. You either gonna keep your universe at a certain level of quality or not. Star Wars could also have 150 shows out. They don’t. They keep it simple. And quality.

Yea well that was what lead them to the TV shows and cutting all that bullshyt out and getting back to the basics... Same with DC..

I'm not going to front. Marvel did the impossible with the MCU. But if we rating phases, Phase 4 is easily the worst one. And if Phase 5 keeps declining, what do we think is going to happen?

The problem for me, is WHO is the Kobe and Shaq of the MCU right now? It was Iron Man and Captain America. Right now the MCU feels a bit lost without those anchors. Is Wanda one of them? Right now there is no focal point, no key.
The loss of Robert Downey Jrs dialogue has been a HUGE hit

All the trash dialogue in phase 4 has made it prominent

OK, the entire industry was wrong and a couple of posters on the coli were right. lol

Huh...stay focused and stop making attempts to alter statements.

You and others were saying that it wasnt projected to top 1 billion because it is a "Doctor Strange movie", when in reality this was expected to be a larger movie than what it was.

Dr. Strange is obviously supposed to repace Tony Stark but they invested so much into a terrible movie directed by Raimi.

The shyt flopped.
