Marvel movies print money and that coupled with the Paul Walker effect to see if any of the cast breaks down in tears during filming contributed to whatever success it got. The cast pretending they were doing this for Chadwick's memory and not the money prior to release was funnier than any MCU movie and they're pretty funny.

Nearly a three hour runtime and it didn't even feature the title character. $800M, I'd call that a win.

Don't go crazy the title character Black Panther did feature just not played by the same character. You could put Ben Shapiro in a Black Panther costume and people would still watch. Name the movie Shuri next time and then see if it brings in as much. |

Don't go crazy the title character Black Panther did feature just not played by the same character. You could put Ben Shapiro in a Black Panther costume and people would still watch. Name the movie Shuri next time and then see if it brings in as much.Choose an argument. The first bolded sentence leads me to believe people would watch as long as Shuri wore the Black Panther costume. Not the same character, and it isn't even a top tier MCU flick in my opinion. Speculation on why, or how it would do next time doesn't change the fact that this movie made $800M. Personally, I don't care how much it made, I'm not a Disney stockholder. I just think it's interesting how people keep insisting it's a box office failure when its performance suggests otherwise. In an era where movies come and go, it's still going strong in theaters nearly two months after its initial release. It made over five and a half million dollars from Dec 25th through the 27th, going up against Avatar 2.
People are still going to see it 47 days after its release, when they could be seeing the biggest phenomenon in the history of film instead. There's simply no arguing that it wasn't as successful as the first, but it is equally inarguable that it was a success. |

Pretty good numbers everything considered (no China release, no Chadwick, etc.). I think we (the audience) need to get back to more realistic box office expectations. Not so long ago a $1 billion BO was lightning in a bottle and $800 million would have been considered a massive success. People just got used to MCU movies that kept breaking the $1 billion mark but the reality is that very very few blockbusters can reach that. $800 million is more than enough of a win. |

I think Guardians will be their biggest movie from here until Kang Dynasty |

I think Guardians will be their biggest movie from here until Kang Dynasty the last movie only made in 800m range, the next film will likely have China and Russia missing from box office , i think it will struggle to hit 900m , where will the box office growth come from ? |

I think Guardians will be their biggest movie from here until Kang Dynasty the last movie only made in 800m range, the next film will likely have China and Russia missing from box office , i think it will struggle to hit 900m , where will the box office growth come from ? marvel’s natural progressions of their franchises. Iron Man to Iron Man 2 to Iron Man 3 made increasingly more money until the third made over a billion dollars even without China Captain America to Winter Soldier to Civil War made increasingly more money until the third made over a billion dollars, and still made way more than Winter Soldier without China Thor to Dark World to Ragnarok made increasingly more money until the third didn’t make a billion, but was 60% more successful than the first. Avengers to Infinity War. IW didn’t make the 500m$ difference in China alone. Ant-Man, AMATW, undoubtedly Quantumania. Unless the movie is critically panned, it’ll be marketed as the swan song for the team and more than likely way outgross Vol. 2, even missing China’s gross. And Russia has minimal impact on worldwide grosses of these movies. Strange 2 nearly broke a billion, No Way Home nearly had 2 Billion all without China. These are still highly demanded enterprises for viewing public. Guardians are arguably Marvel’s biggest franchise after Spider-Man and outside of the Avengers tent pole movies now, just depends on how successful little mermaid is (and if that is okay’d for a China release. The way they reacted to the Halle Bailey casting may persuade the government to give a BS reason to ban it) |
