that is perhaps the dumbest take i've ever seen so far.

Dinosaur movie did good? Dinosaur movie always does good kids love dinosaurs. fucking retarded ass 8 year olds and their shitty choice in movies!

Superman was just an absolute shit film with decent acting largely making up for a shit plot/story, it could of done great if it wasn't written by a sperg pedo

Fantastic Four suffers from a shit fucking cast just completely miscast entirely, and clearly it was going to be a woke girlboss film and was saved only in editing.

Not only that but he compares it to the completely overdone comic book movies. There have been over 50 of them since IM 1? Could they be a little worn out by now? Is that even a possibility for his pea sized brain?

If you're flagging any movie that happens to have a comic character in it, then yeah. You're over 50. Regarding MCU alone, we're currently sitting at 37 with Fantastic Four. Spider-Man will make 38.

Seems like it'll outperform all other Fantastic Four movies, even adjusted for inflation, even with all other fantastic four movies releasing in a pre-COVID, much more theatre-focussed market. On top of potential Marvel and/or super hero fatique. Etc.. seems.

The last time a Jurrasic-Dino movie and a Fantastic Four movie released in the same year was 2015, and the gap there was nearly 600 Million US domestic between them. Now it's barely 100 Million between them. Obviously the "best" Jurrasic World vs. the worst FF movie, while now it's also serious Dino-fatique vs. a FF movie driven by MCU (battered as that brand might be).

Still, about as good as you could expect, I guess?

Do people still watch these garbo superhero movies? Does it get tiresome having Hollywood remake the same superhero movie for the 30th time to milk every last dime?

Yes? This was worth every bit of bandwidth I used stealing it. I'll probably even go out and redownload a super clean legit copy when it hits streaming.

Like as soon as I get over the pedro pascal fatigue of wanting to punch him in the face, i'd rewatch this movie, it was pretty good. amazing visuals and best incarnation of Galactus ever.

Yeah its on track to outperform even 2005 adjusted for inflation. I don't really see the point in comparing it to dinosaur movies, it released the same time as Superman who also has previous iterations to compare to. This is the best performing Fantastic Four which is a cringey "C" team nobody cares about, going up against the flagship of DC, which has produced the worst performing Superman yet. my previous prediction:

I figured superman would end with higher margins than 50-75, but that's still not a win

DC outspent by 150mil so needs to finish 300mil higher to be "even", which is what they're going to need just to break even at the box office.

it fucking shocks me to even admit this but FF is a far superior film, but Disney (correctly) didn't go balls out on marketing because you can't keep spending half a billion per film on non-stop flops.

Neither film is breaking even, its a question of who loses more money. FF needs ~600mil to break even and Superman needs ~900mil.

I'd say FF loses 200mil and superman loses 300mil.
FF spent 300mil on production+marketing needs to make 600mil WW to break even, on track to hit 475mil. ~125mil loss
Superman spend 450mil on production+marketing needs to make 900mil WW to break even, on track to hit 595mil. ~305mil loss
