I was referring to Kl'rt. I know all of that, and I know Kl'rt is Fox-only, but so was Ego until Marvel got him in exchange for Fox changing Negasonic Teenage Warhead's powers in Deadpool.
Annihilation is doable, just never with Silver Surfer and Galactus. But considering what Marvel has done with Planet Hulk, I doubt they would be hindered by that.

Loki calling Black Widow a Mewling Quim automatically puts Avengers in the top tier...And Whedon for getting away with it.
Not just two massive blockbuster hits. Guardians of the Galaxy, of all things.
I think that we collected enough evidence last year to conclude that Chris Pratt isn't much of a box office draw on his own. Passengers did alright given the poor reviews, but was nothing special. Magnificent Seven made regular Denzel action movie cash.
He adds to these big franchises since he is likeable, but there's not much evidence that he's going to be the next Harrison Ford or Will Smith.
The "humans are so tiny and petty" line. Granted that's mostly because it looks like the camera man almost dropped the camera during the take.

We're probably seeing this on its second weekend. The first weekend is right before my son has his finals in college.
DC could have pulled $200 mill+ if they got good reviews,
I'm pretty sure Fox owns the rights to Annihilus and is unlikely to ever give him up considering he's such a big F4 villain.
I don't doubt supes and bats got that potential, but as I recall, the reviews were embargoed until one or two days before release, which is pretty late so I doubt they'd make much of a difference initially. Obviously WOM had a big impact soon after.

Right up there with Heath Ledgers joker. I'm amazed the common crow isn't listed as endangered yet after those two fiascos.
So close. Give it to me now!
I still think $375-400M domestic and about $900M worldwide. I could be wrong of course. An extra 15% hits the $1B mark.

Gunn has come a long way from costarring in pornos with Sasha Grey.

Any ideas when the reviews will start dropping? Civil War had them dropping a few weeks in advance.
If they're glowing it could bump estimates a decent amount.

Critics are seeing it in 4 days, apparently. https://twitter.com/colliderfrosty/status/852337560575549441
Haven't seen any word on an embargo.
Australia is getting the film on the 25th, so I would guess late next week or that Monday (the 24th).
Marvel tend to lift their embargo for the big films about 3 weeks before, I think, for precisely that reason.

Already bought my tickets. Hope the soundtrack is just as good as the first.
What did he mean by this?

Gunn can do whatever he wants. I doubt Feige could stop him at this point. He's a juggernaut
Gunn doesn't have final edit. None of the directors do.

1.2 billion confirmed then!
Was I majorly off the mark on something else recently?
I still can't believe they are fucking it up this badly.
If you had told me ten years ago that Batman vs Superman would make less money than Captain America vs Iron Man, I would have laughed in your face.
Remember when numerous people on this very forum repeatedly said nobody would see a movie with a talking raccoon and tree.

Ten years ago Batman Begins and Superman Returns were comfortably behind Spider-Man, though.
At least they could blame Batman and Robin + Superman IV.
Nice. I was predicting $140 personally. If feel the marketing for vol 2 has been pretty low-key considering what a hit the first was. It seems like they are selling it like "You know the characters, humor, and music you liked from the first film? This is more of that."
I could definitely see hype ramping up the closer we get to the film release, but regardless of the opening, I see this film having pretty great legs once again, just because I think Gunn has been saving most of the surprises for the film. Somewhere in the $900M range WW seems pretty plausible, $1Bn isn't out of the question.

1st spider-man movie versus the 5th Batman and Superman movie, both after lengthy hiatus though.
There's like seven commercials in rotation on TV.
I am not worried about it doing well. I just hope it is more Winter Soldier than Iron Man 2 or Thor 2.
