‘Captain Marvel’ Darting To Super $156M-$160M Opening

At this point in time Captain Marvel is eyeing a $63.5M Friday, including her $20.7M Thursday night haul. That figure is just under Beauty and the Beast‘s first day of $63.77M (which turned around a $174.7M opening, the best ever in March), and under Batman v. Superman‘s Good Friday haul of $81.55M on March 25, 2016 which grossed a 3-day of $166M. Beauty and the Beast reps the top opening for March, followed by BvS, and then The Hunger Games with $152.5M, which it looks like Captain Marvel is beating.

Where does this put Captain Marvel stateside? Industry estimates predict between $156M and $160M, and possibly more at 4,310 locations. Again, it’s early, these numbers can fluctuate, etc., but it’s quite clear: There’s a lot of business going on this weekend in multiplexes around the world. With guys being the dominant moviegoer last night, the question is whether more women will make a date today to watch Carol Danvers on International Women’s Day.

Last night, 411 Imax screens repped 12% of Captain Marvel’s previews, repping the second biggest March preview for the large format exhibitor behind BvS. Captain Marvel is the biggest Imax day-and-date release worldwide of all-time at 1,360 hubs.

People who actually SAW the film! First RT removed the "Want to see" agrogate BEFORE the film was released after only 23% said they were interested in seeing it after it was released because those numbers were in the toilet.

Then, AFTER the film was released over 58,000 moviegoers placed their reviews on ROTTEN tomatoes. The negative "ROTTEN" "Liked It" review score number got down to THIRTY ONE PERCENT before ROTTEN tomatoes dishonestly jerry-rigged the audience review poll results by deleting over FIFTY THOUSAND reviews from people who have SEEN THE MOVIE!

In spite of ROTTEN tomatoes fraudulent tampering with the audience review poll numbers, AFTERWARDS the "Liked It" score only went up to "ROTTEN 36%"! The new "Liked It" audience score was essentially the same, having gained only 3 or 4%.

That's when ROTTEN tomatoes pulled out all the stops and began rigging/manipulating the audience review score on the fly by cherry picking the audience review results they decided to count/report. The "Liked It" score currently stands at "ROTTEN, 52%" on ROTTEN tomatoes actual website.

HOWEVER, the actual, unredacted "Liked It" score of around "36% ROTTEN" was still being reported on ROTTEN tomatoes phone app less than an hour ago.

I guess their corrupt programmers haven't gotten their act together yet to assure that the "Liked It" numbers on their app, MATCH the phony "Liked It" review numbers their website.

ROTTEN tomatoes may have "fixed" that glaring discrepancy by now but it doesn't matter because numerous people took screen shots showing ROTTEN tomatoes manipulating and massaging the audience review results. For hours the review numbers remain static and then presto they drastically change. At one point early this morning the audience review numbers magically added over 50,000 more reviews to the existing number bringing the total review numbers to over 71,000. The "Liked It" review numbers plunged again to "ROTTEN 36%" before the ROTTEN tomatoes programmers magically REMOVED 50,000 of these N E W, NEGATIVE AUDIENCE REVIEWS.

The latest review numbers have been stuck at 28,742 for hours while ROTTEN tomatoes "fixes" the "results".

Needless to say, at this point ROTTEN tomatoes has thrown away the trust they had established and lost all credibility as an honest, unbiased, movie review website.

ROTTEN tomatoes = ROTTEN TO THE CORE
