While the competition did well this weekend against the titan American Sniper, some executives griped that the Eastwood film shaved off dollars off their initial projections.
“It felt like we opened against a Marvel movie,” said one studio executive about Sniper‘s presence.
“The people portrayed in American Sniper – these are real-life heroes to people in the same way that Marvel characters are heroes to fanboys. But it’s the Marvel concept for adults.”
The Libs are jealous.
Marvel’s Captain America is another blockbuster.
