LOL at thinking Black Panther will fizzle at the box office. It would need to be a bad film for that to happen.
I thought Thor Ragnarok and Black Panther both had cool trailers, does that count for anything?

Where will Black Panther numbers fall? Ill say a little over Dr strange numbers. Im not seeing a huge BO draw at all.

I love Peter's, "Look at little Goblin Jr. Gonna cry?" line to Harry.
Yeah, I can see it. Peter just relentlessly beating Harry down verbally was a trip.
*dramatically swirls cape*
Come with me..., if you want to correctly predict box office numbers..., nearly half the time.
Thanks, man. I had been on a cold streak for a while but decided to go all in on Wonder Woman.

I wonder about transformers. Foreign gross is important but don't studios take a smaller percent of the cut from those screenings? In the end I wonder if it even made money or if the studio will come out in the whole on it.
Don't underestimate black audiences. We made get out into a thing.

I see sub 200M DOM for all those films. Disney will sell Marvel to Wanda.
The dance scenes and the incredibly bitchy Harry and Peter moments are the best parts of the movie. Emo Peter is awesome. It's pretty clear no one was that interested in making the movie the studio demanded, so the scenes just making fun of the whole thing are where it becomes good.
He did have a typical emo haircut and outfit.

He had floppy hair. I'll give people that.
Literally nothing else about his behavior or style or dress or manner was "emo" at all.
He was a douchebag.

Shhh. Don't ruin the narrative.

Fake news lol.
Can't recall where I saw it (could very well have been here on Gaf), but I've seen Evil Peter described as "what someone who has no idea how to be cool looks like trying to be cool." Which hits it perfectly. He's an insecure dork trying so very hard to emulate the behavoir of those he feels have been holding him down or getting things he thinks he deserves.
And it's hilarious. The dancing in the street scene is easily the funniest comedy bit in a superhero movie I've seen. The hip gyrating. The music. The way every woman he comes across looks at him with a mixture of confusion and disgust. His fucking haircut. It's perfect.
Days of Future Past and it's not so subtle Proffesor X storyline was better though
Valerian will be lucky to get $20 million OW
Dunklirk I could maybe see hitting $40 million, but that's solely based on the Nolan name. I don't think the movie has done a great job of selling itself as a big-slot blockbuster.
Girls Trip - $15 million

Tentative predictions
Dunkirk - $46M
Girls Trip - $37M
Valerian - $14M
Dunkirk will be getting the biggest ever write-up from me later this week.

Dunkirk $49m OW. -- A lot of premium formats and older audiences who have been left out on the sidelines for most of the summer turn up for this. An opening weekend a little better than Interstellar's. Again great legs bouyed by rave reviews on it's way to a $190/200m final gross that betters Interstellar.
Girls Trip - $21m OW -- Prepare for a load of think pieces about this hammering Valerian into the ground and reports of comedy's death being greatly exaggerated.
Valerian $11m OW -- The advertising has been practically non-existent and even the stars haven't exactly been out beating the drum for this. I think STX, as distributor for hire, knew it had a hard sell on it's hands and did the bare minimum. I think this has $25m final US gross and cult classic written all over it.
What if Girls Trip totally broke out and beat Dunkirk, which still does very well, to the top slot. Ooooooooh.
I'm afraid he can't hear you now, son.
That actually sounds like it could work. Remove the apocalypse and we are set.
People remember him looking in the cracked mirror in the alley and making his hair all EMO
That makes him entirely 100% emo
10 years later I love that scene. Coming off Spidey 2... not so much.

Peter in 3 was an edgy emo. It was a funny scene because he was acting like he was so cool, and the hottest shit ever, even though we as audience know he's just a nerd who got bit by a spider.

SM3 is way better than I remember it being. It must be the MCU or DCEU (outside WW)... Take Sandman out completely and it's a really good cape flick.
A little over Doctor Strange will be great though?
