Way to shit on the memory of Ellen Ripley, Clarice Starling, and Sarah Connor. And all three of those characters were much more likable and better written than Brie Larson or Captain Yas Kween could ever hope to be.
 
Why do a get the feeling that Brie Larson is trying to hide the fact that she acts like a total diva on set?
 

Might be the 3rd bomb for the MCU. The first one was Captain America: the First Avenger (it definitely underperformed) and the 2nd was Ant-Man and The Wasp (seriously, who wanted that movie?).

I don’t know, First Avenger and Ant-Man and the Wasp did decent at the box office. I’m in the majority with people that Captain Marvel won’t bomb at the box office. However, I think if Brie Larson shut her month, the movie will perform better than expected.

A movie has to make 3 times its budget back to be profitable. Those movies flopped.

Ant-Man and The Wasp cost $130 mil.
It made $200 mil. domestically, $400 mil. overseas and $50 mil. on home video.

$130 x 3 = $390 mil.

$650 mil. > $390 mil.

It made money.

A lot of that from overseas. This is how it works:

1st weekend: the studio (Disney) takes about 90% of the ticket sales while the theaters take 10%. This is why candy and soda are insanely expensive.

2nd weekend: the studio takes something like 60% of the ticket sales.

3rd weekend: the studio takes like 30-40% of the ticket sales.

And so on until the movie is out of theaters in America.

Overseas is different, the take the studios get is somewhere around 20-30% tops. I'm unsure if that's just the first weekend and their take gets lower every additional weekend or it's just one flat rate until the movie is out of theaters. China is the same BTW.

That domestic box office is extremely important not unless it makes something like a billion in China. Of course, you could get into the semantics of merch sales and how the movie promoted the merch but that's a whole other topic.
 
I've seen a number of female Youtubers say that Captain Marvel is a complete shit show and I know a few women who will not see the movie at all even when it goes to a streaming site as they cannot stand Brie today. It's pretty clear that bloggers will ignore what women say and just blame the men when something doesn't go the way SJW's want.
 
Here's a simple truth:

A strong female character does not have to be physically able to compete with the men. Strength comes in many forms, like power; and a woman who is physically at a disadvantage but manages to control the situation nonetheless and defeat her enemies is a very strong woman. If Marvel wants to grab a moment of incredible strength, they need only look at Aunt May.

There's also that time Wolverine was over and she put out his cigar in I think his glass of either whiskey or beer.
 
ComicBookGirl19 is not a fan. I'm surprised. I figured she'd bend the knee.

CBG can be pretty based at times. She absolutely shit talked the GB2016 movie. Also here's this meme that was posted in her replies:

I had skimmed that Hollywood Reporter article, even skimming it's a slog to get through.

"I always wanted to be a tough woman-of-adventure as a girl, and I'm still so tough some pandering piece of average capeshit film that was at least somewhat better than being repeatedly poked in the eyes with a sharpened stick, made me weep uncontrollably in public".
God that's pretty embarassing for her. Why would you put that on the internet?

Of all the iconic heroines in Marvel's history, why a watered down and unlikable version of a character without brand recognition? There's so many iconic or cult favourite female supers you could have chosen that have sold more and are way better, like She Hulk or Spider-Woman, yet you go with Manvers?

That "Want to see score just keeps going lower and lower. This morning i saw it at like 42 percent, and now it's currently at 34 percent

For comparison, Solo's "Want to see" percentage was only at 36 just a day before that film released.
675730

And we're not even less than 10 days from Captain Marvel's release so who knows if it can get higher or somehow even lower.
