Is anyone trustworthy verifying these $$$ figures?

Why would our entire civilization pay money to see women pretending to be masculine?

Great. Keep feeding the narrative that women are all powerful and can NEVER be told what to do! No one will ever tell these “strong women” they can’t do anything, whether it’s aborting their child, or listening to anyone. It’s their body. It’s their life and no one puts baby in the corner.

The decline of the American woman has been precipitous. Action features such as this movie sooth these emotionally damaged creatures. Tragic.

Invest in cat supplies.

Hollywood’s fixation with juvenile comic-book pablum continues untreated. And brain-dead viewers lap it up like hogs in slop.

It was always going to do well, it’s a marvel movie tied into the main arc it was never going to flop.

Just saw it, forget all the drama

Movie is MEH

First act was okay, second act it starts to fall apart and the third act is a flat out fustercluck.

It’s not terrible, but it does pander when it shouldn’t and doesn’t need to.

MCU is defiiitely trading down, from Iron Man driving the boat to Captain Marvel.

It’s a 3 out of 5 stars movie.

My guess is it will underperform expectations, but certainly be the biggest film this year in ticket sales until another MCU movie is released.

When I was growing up, Hollywood made movies that were either (a) based on things that were going on at the time, or in recent history, or (b) about things that could be seen as allegory for current events or recent history.

Examples of the first category:

Examples of the second category:

Those examples are just off the top of my head. There are many I've missed, of course.

These days, America is faced by far more dangerous events, trends, and phenomena, but no movie is made about any of them. No movie can be made about any of them. All these dangerous things are protected by a thick shield of virtue-signaling and reality denial.

Someone who figures out how to produce movies about these things will get rich. The movies will have to be passed from hand to hand, like Samizdat in the USSR, but sooner or later it will happen.

I guess the payment model is probably one of the things that's preventing movies of this type from being made. Potential investors are probably out there, but they can't figure out how to get their money back.

So as a result we get rehashes of old comic book themes and teen coming-of-age movies no one wants to see.

The How to Train Your Dragon sequel was fun

Same Morons who turned Thor into a woman, and then were surprised it flopped.

Complete Idiots.

Actually... no it DIDN’T.

Black Panther did 200 million opening weekend and in 300 fewer theaters. There’s also NO other counter programming at the theaters as Disney has practically over 50% of all the screens at the theaters. I was actually looking for something else to see this weekend and there’s NOTHING on at the theater BUT Captain Marvel.

I also call shenanigans on these numbers too and wouldn’t be surprised if Disney was cooking the books here too.

Good for Mar-Vel getting a foothold on the summer film market and making the patriarchy toe the line.

You hear that, you unnecessary white males? You'll just have to go to the movies to have your fun, Gus.

Seen reports of people going to empty, nearly bought out theaters. Me thinks someone is inflating the numbers on this movie trying to convince the naysayers that the movie is popular when it is not. Brie Larson is clearly SJW and her comments over the past weeks/months have turned off many folks, myself included. Will not be going to see this film.

Alita, Battle Angel, however, kicked butt and was a great movie!

What on earth does anyone who has seen a Marvel movie think they’re gonna see here that’s new?

It’s instructive that the left - which always mocks the alleged intellectual inferiority of conservatives - is now cranking out an endless series of movies based on comic books.
