Several are reporting on it, holding out for more info.. What theaters? No names? I poked around a little when it was posted as it wouldn't surprise me terribly if a studio that spent 150 mil on a movie and often will spend on the order of 100-200 mil promoting it might plop a fair amount of it on buying up tickets as they'll get roughly half that money back (in the US) and the last thing they want people to hear is few people are going to it and it's bombing at the box office.
However the 'evidence' in the video amounted to one anonymous source who gave two people (slightly) different figures and of course there's other explanations even if true. The video also made an un-sourced claim that he'd heard a report from India of something similar which wouldn't make sense at all as studios generally get significantly less of a cut on overseas box office and the movie has done precisely dicksquat in India (~6 mil). Thus even if true it's obviously not widespread there and if you think on it that undermines the other report as it suggests other likely explanations for no fannies in paid seats.
I also saw a picture of a towed banner promoting the movie in Australia suggesting their advertising budget is being spent diversely and tangibly and Twitter hashes dating from before the release of people hoping the movie would tank. Thus all you need is one person who wants some attention to fake the initial report and this Trent guy (video and author--he's reading his own piece) has nothing but disinformation and dicksquat for evidence.

Maybe that's where Tristan went. Is that an old poster here? I don't think I ever followed this particular board; I posted on the Game of Thrones board for a while and returned recently because I was about to start my re-watch as the Long Hiatus was ( finally!) almost over. With the movie coming out and little action over there (did the Lion eat them all?) I wandered over here.

Just checked the Week 2 box office on B.O.M., and with help from a calculator I determined that for the weekend CM made more money than the next 51 movies combined. Not too shabby.
(You get into some pretty obscure stuff toward the bottom of that Top 52 list. For instance: CatVideoFest 2019, which made $15,500 this weekend.)

Not really. It's already been reported that Disney is buying up empty seats in theaters to inflate the box office. MCU Dictator Kevin Feige has already said that Captain Marvel will lead the MCU going forward so Disney has to do everything they can to make sure Captain Marvel appears to be a enormous hit. That's why Disney is buying up empty seats in theaters.

If you're just trolling then you need to work on your material. There needs to be some credibility to your trolling to get people angry.

Here's the proof: Okay so I did some searching around the net and I've only found two blogs talking about this with a reference to one tweet. That's not a lot of evidence to convince me that this is true. So unless you guys can ground up some solid evidence that Disney is doing this, I'm going to have to file this under "Conspiracy"

Neither a DC fan or a Marvel fan - just like an occasional Comic book movie. Gotta say the trolling against Captain Marvel is amazing to witness.
No one lucid believes Disney is losing millions of dollars on the film so to try to hide it spends millions more buying tickets to inflate the appearance of the box office.
I've read and watched most of the proof and it's laughable in it's amateur attempt without actually providing any real proof. It's really kind of sad. That said Fake News like claiming empty theaters aren't based in facts and reality so much as repeatedly saying the same fake news claim and hoping it catches.
Here's to Captain Marvel doing so well. Here's to the golden age of comic book movies (DCEU and Marvel) and here is to hoping some trolls can get a grip to realize just how foolish they look.
Btw for the record the Dark Knight series is my favorite comic book movies. Better than anything recent by DCEU or Marvel.

I like finding analogues to compare past Movies with current to help predict future Box Office. Not that it's scientific or foolproof just to see. (Like with Black Panther I chose The Jurassic World). Speaking Domestic Here. Looks Like Hunger Games is the right fit for Captain Marvel. Both are Female Led March Releases, opened to 152-153 opening weekends, and around 4100-4300 theater openings. www.the-numbers.com/movies/custom-comparisons/Hunger-Games-The/Captain-Marvel-(2019)So far as the graph shows they are pretty similar with Captain Marvel out pacing it a bit. If things go similarly (no huge drop off) Captain Marvel has a good chance of 405-415m Domestic.
