So I just checked my local theaters for reserved seats for Friday night and Saturday night showings of Captain Marvel.
At this point most “blockbusters” have 80% of the reserved seats sold, even on the second weekend. We tried to see Avengers: Infinity Wars the second weekend and couldn’t get decent seats on Wednesday.
Anyway, the seating charts are showing about 90% available.
It will do well at the box office, but not great. In the middle of the pack for a MCU movie.
give it up.
when you have teenage girls going to movie 3-6 times, it’s probably going to make a bucket of cash
It’s not just me. This guy documented a number of people going to “sold out” shows where the theaters ended up being empty.

“What have you seen that would lead you to such speculation?”
I just haven’t seen the buzz online supporting this movie like I’ve seen for other movies in the genre like the last Avengers movie.
This is not the only site I go to. On the other sites I go to the reaction to the films is lukewarm from the people who saw it and what really stands out to me are the topics that are usually filled with people parsing the show like you see on FR in the Walking Dead topics.
No one seems to care about this movie.
It makes it hard for me then to reconcile the media buzz about it with the relative silence on the net.
Agreed. I’m seeing the same reaction from most everyone I’ve come across online who’s seen it. Even those who liked the movie weren’t particularly thrilled with Larson’s performance. I get the feeling this film’s numbers are being artifiually pumped up.
well that explains all the foreign ticket sales.
