Box Office Pro giving an early opening weekend prediction for Captain Marvel of $140M+.

https://pro.boxoffice.com/long-range-tracking-captain-marvel/

I figured it would do well, but was expecting something closer to the $80-90M range. It’s still pretty early, but if it comes anywhere near their prediction that would be impressive.

I have to admit I'm a bit confused about all the high-money predictions for "Captain Marvel". What is it about the movie that inspires such confidence?

 

[Tino]

I agree. Well see what the tracking is closer to the release date.

I think it will drop down to the $80-90 million range as Sean said.

It's a Marvel movie.

 

[Colin Jacobson]

It's a Marvel movie.

Yeah, I know, but people weren't talking super-duper grosses for "Ant-Man and the Wasp", and that was for a character better known to the public since it was a sequel.

"Captain Marvel" seems to be getting really high projections, and I just don't really get it.

Not saying it won't happen, not saying it won't be a good movie, but... I don't get it!

 

[Jeff Adkins]

There is a possibility that part of it could be because it'll be the first MCU movie since July 5, 2018. The 8-month drought might spur a bit of additional interest.

 

[JQuintana]

Marvel just has that Midas touch it seems.

I know in our house my wife isn't a big movie fan and by no means does she keep up with the whole comic world but for some reason she feels completely comfortable watching Marvel stuff and actually looks forward to each new adventure. The movies are fun, engrossing, have right sense of humor, lots of action and all done in a non-gross (as in not bloody) and clean (no real cussing) way and that helps sell the whole bundle of Marvel. I'm sure there are many folks just like her out there and that helps add $$$ to the Marvel money vault.

 

[Josh Steinberg]

Captain Marvel might be getting extra buzz because it is the first MCU solo film led by a female superhero.

The massive appeal of the entire series is basically lost on me. That being said, I think it's part this:

Captain Marvel might be getting extra buzz because it is the first MCU solo film led by a female superhero.

and part that the character is apparently a major part of Avengers 4 that has fans excited for Captain Marvel.

I liked this movie a lot. I'm sorry to see that it didn't connect at the box office....

Well that’s certainly an understatement.

It’s the biggest flops of both Robert Zemeckis and Steve Carells careers.

With a $100 million break even number, The math is there in plain sight. It looked interesting to me and I’ll check it out when it’s released on home video..soon.

Universal and Disney have to be happy with the early returns for Glass. It's looking like a $40-50 million opening weekend, assuming the massive snowstorm in the Northeast doesn't dampen turnout later in the weekend.

Since M. Night Shyamalan made it for $20 million, it's going to be in the black three days into its run.

 

[Jake Lipson]

Universal and Disney have to be happy with the early returns for Glass.

I'd read somewhere that Shyamalan fully financed it and that Universal and Disney are just distributing. If so, I wonder how much of that they get to keep, since they're probably taking a straight distribution fee percentage of the box office. In any case, that's a win for them for sure.

 

[Tino]

I predict a massive drop next weekend. Something tells me word of mouth on this one won’t be so good.

Still it will be profitable for all but I don’t think It will reach Split’s BO numbers.

 

[Tino]

I'd read somewhere that Shyamalan fully financed it and that Universal and Disney are just distributing.

That’s true.

 

[benbess]

This looked like a c. $30 million dollar movie to me, and so although my rating on it was "B-" I'm impressed they made it for only $9 million.....

Disney owns the rights to the Unbreakable IP, and I believe Universal owns the rights to the Split IP. So they're probably getting a bigger percentage than they would in a straight distribution deal.
