Wonder if Shuri being anti-vax will do much damage to the numbers too? I feel like if I know she's in this film but not taking the mantle moving forward then I could probably ignore it, but if it turns out she's gonna be BP after this film then I wouldn't really have any desire to watch that.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Why? Because of the anti vax thing? Or just don't like her acting?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Mostly the ant-vax thing, don't believe in giving people like that platforms and I wouldn't particularly want to support her, especially given that her stance would have been so dangerous to Boseman himself.

Don't think she's a very good actor either though from the small amount I've seen. Imagine the tone of her new role would have to be completely different though, so who knows
----------------------------------------------------------------------
All fair enough. Some Disney must have been desperate to allow an anti vaxer such a mahoosive role.

I didn't know she was anti vax.

*Woke Disney not some Disney

Shuri is definitely the new Black Panther.

I think they basically made her delete all her social media and hoped people wouldn't pick up on it/forget

I don't see BA beating Thors box office but time will tell.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I still stand by the above comment.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Thor 4 made more than The Batman (which is a far far better movie) simply because it's a Marvel movie.

And as we know Marvel is generally more popular than DC right now in terms of cinema box office. No big shocker there.

So it's no great revelation if Thor (an established main Marvel character) makes more than a relative unknown DC character who audiences are just being introduced to.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ya, this is true… there is a heavy Marvel bias.
But where the DC fans at?
I mean even the news of Cavill hasn’t brought them in..

And now I’m hearing, it might not actually open in China.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Where you heard that Stringer? I've heard it might open in China on Nov 11th. Which could be a game changer in terms of it's worldwide box office.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
A good journo doesn’t reveal their sources…
Oh wait.. that’s another conversation.

So Superb, the rumour is, and it’s nothing to do with the film, but the situation in China, with Covid.
So the Nov 11th date may not happen, might get pushed back.. I just saw that the 11th wasn’t a secured date.
As of now, I don’t think Black Panther is being released there either…

There was a reddit user that mapped the entire movie before the premiere

Yeah apparently no Black Panther 2 at all in China for whatever reason. I think Black Adam will get a China release whether it's the 11th or slightly later.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
But even if Black Adam does get released in China, how much you think it’s making?
At best I give it $50-$60 million Total.

And where BA is at the moment, that puts it around $450 Total, give or take.

I'm not disagreeing. I'm simply stating that I don't believe BA will do better than Thor 4, at the box office.

I think BP2 does 800m minimum.

Soz Guv, I misread your comment, but you were talking about Black Adam not Black Panther..

Oh theres no way, it’s not even gonna be close.

Regardless of what the box office ends up being, it's evident that DC need Superman,Batman and Wonder Woman to be involved going forward because these lesser known characters won't bring in viewers.

You don't think BP2 can do 800m?

I think people are underestimating how impactful BP2 could be, due to the death of Boseman. It could turn this into a tribute movie that requires viewing.

If it's done right it could be something really special, but if it's not...

I dunno, I honestly felt really pesimistic about it till that first trailer. Even now I don't feel great about it, Marvel not got as much good will in the bank as they have had in the past.

When you were talking before about not out performing Thor 4, you were talking about BA.
I thought you were talking about BP2

BA won’t get anywhere near Thor.
But yes, I don’t think BP2 will do better than Thor but will be close I think.

Absolutely. They are teetering at the moment IMO.

The Batman's R rating can't have helped either.

It's definitely a much better movie.

Based on the reviews I have read, BP2 seems to be more like the traditional MCU movie, with less jokes.

I don't expect BP2 to be as good as BP1 but I think it will be a return to form for Marvel.

Is Black Adam 2 a better film than say, BvS or Suicide Squad 1.
Cos I am fascinated by the spin being put out there for BA.
‘Fastest DC film to 100 million since Aquaman!’ says one.
Yet BvS and Will Smiths SS were financial hits, but are critically destroyed. I didn’t mind BvS, but didn’t like SS.
Was BvS considered a flop? Can’t remember.

I think it's better than those two, yes

Black Adam 2?!
I give up….

Actually gave you some leeway there haha
