How did Captain Marvel make $450M worldwide in just 3 days when theaters are practically empty everywhere? How is that even possible?
Everybody is reporting that their theaters are practically empty, with reserved seating saying as much. And even theaters with half-sold reserved seats have empty theaters when people actually show up to the screenings. "Sold out" online screenings with nobody turning up seems to be a thing as well.
With all these inconsistencies, just HOW did this film make $450M in 3 days?
>coping this hard It's pretty common to have empty rooms with blockbusters, specially because they occupy about 50% of the rooms of a multiplex. Mornings and afternoons are usually pretty empty. I worked at multiplexes before, I know what I'm talking about.

This is what society was like in the soviet union. Propaganda movie cannot fail, state must pay for tickets to make it look like it was a huge success.
Luis Fisher
Be sure to spend all day investigating this, you retarded worthless /pol/faggot. It's not like you have anything better to do.
Is this true? Are trolls who hate Captain Marvel actually buying tickets to something they hate to take pictures and make stuff up? Even though you can see nobody bought any of the tickets online?
Show me video of an empty or mostly empty heater during showtime, plus a screenshot of how many seats were bought out. Then we can discuss box office fraud.
Austin Wood
Only beta males do that.

If someone did that (which they probably will soon enough) you would just have another excuse
It's a multi headed hydra. Lawyer brings in Cartel Billions and it's cleanly laundered as legitimate money. I'd bet you a dime some of those theaters are owned by Cartels and other big wigs vicariously aka shell companies.

>the mouse is inflating the revenue and review scores of their own property >they are at the same time deflating the revenue and review scores of their soon to be bought off competition (Alita and FOX) Wow, it's almost like this power-hungry company is doing fucked-up shit to gain even more power than it has

Once the laundering and advertisement budget is done we'll see the real numbers. Expect the largest second week drop in history.

Empty theater in New York at 8pm? How is that possible?
So Disney buys tickets to there own movies, just to prove "trolls" wrong. This is why I say Hollywood doesn't care about lost profits anymore, its all about pushing agendas. They can write off losses to the government anyway.

This shit is pathetic you guys. Truly, the movie was a success. Big fuckin deal? ‘My screen wasn’t packed! How!?’ The world is a big place you morons. You live in a bubble that’s why you feel the way you’re feeling right now. Holy shit. Get a clue.

captain marvel good good movie good i like movie yes marvel very good watch movie good watch yes
I'll make it very simple and clear: Captain Marvel is really worth a watch. It's just entertaining and visually impressive, exactly what it was meant to be.
Just keep this in mind that it's an origin story so don't go looking for an overstuffed complex story. It's just a fun action movie that introduces us to a new superhero Captain Marvel, played brilliantly by Brie Larson. I became an instant fan watching her in this action heroine avatar, something she manages to pull off with ease. Watch her in the action sequences and there's no way you can't be impressed. Viewers were literally cheering for some of the most heroic moments in the film. Samuel L Jackson as Nick Fury is as awesome as always, it's just that his character feels even better and refined than what we've seen. Jude Law is also quite good, and so are Ben Mendelsohn and Lashana Lynch.
But the one character that ultimately steals the show is Goose, the cat. Some of the sequences involving her are so hilarious that it was really difficult to stop laughing.
Visual effects are excellent, and the IMAX 3D viewing just elevated them. And since it's most importantly an action movie, every single action sequence it delivers is impressive, especially the train sequence. I would call it one of the major highlights of the movie. Cinematography in certain portions is really impressive. Humor, like any other MCU movie, is top notch and really manages to make you laugh.
Captain Marvel has a simple-looking origin story presented and executed in a terrific manner. The directors have done a great job with the characterization of Captain Marvel, and that is what makes everything in the film seem so good. The pace is brisk, gore is minimal to no, and there's nothing unsuitable for kids.
Jack Fisher
If they were genuinely buying tickets for their own movie, why would they let anyone in the theatre to see it? I get what you're trying to do, but this really doesn't make sense.

They only sold 10% of tickets in the European cinemas I checked.

So it's not laundering. It's probably from the advertising budget. Remember. The investors in Disney are some of the same people who benefits whenever USA currency is created. Remember the cabal who owns the Fed makes ten percent of the ten times charge the American people incurs with every dollar's creation. So dumping billions into Disney doesn't really harm them at all because their man goal is Marxist destruction of western values. Globalization is their bottom line.

"We can do incredible things with CGI", enthused Joe Russo, his tires eyes lighting up, "such as make Thanos a fully realized character with stunning detail".
"But that's not all", Anthony Russo adds, "We can create alien worlds, amazing superhuman feats, and not only that, we can do something even more astonishing..."
"We can use VFX technology to put Scarlett Johannson and Elizabeth Olsen into a scene with Brie Larson, yes, I know it's hard to believe, but that is the magic of VFX, it's simply not possible in any other way", Joe Russo concludes.

>showings during middle of the week/afternoon >morning showings >theater is empty for 630pm showing tweet posted at 4pm >one butthurt dude posting in middle of the week about lack of presales 5 days before showings >two obvious troll accounts
I think the movie looks mediocre and it was dumb how they tried to attract political attention but use your eyes lol, who even bothered making that image. SAD!
Elijah Edwards
Probably literal retards. Early morning sessions in Australia tend to be the times retards, handicapped, disabled etc types and their carers go to the movies. They almost always sit in that row in front of the walkaway to make a clean getaway when the retards fire up and start shrieking, shitting or whatever.

no theater would ever leave a cinema empty for 2 1/2 hours
David Clark
I don't doubt that they do this for all blockbusters. Retarded who didn't see the movie opening weekend see the "big numbers" and that is enough to convince them that they need to see it too.
Sebastian Thompson
are those cinemas for poor people? they look poor.
Jayden Barnes
how come literally NO ONE is talking about it. Not one friend on fb. I remember like 10 people talking about infinity war shit, i went and saw it in a nearly packed theater. This beat infinity ar? something isnt adding up
Ryan Campbell
yeah probably different time ones but then doesn't that defeat the purpose of the pic? in any case pretty pathetic to have any emotional response to a marvel movie doing good or bad unless you had some sort of direct involvement with it.
David Myers
This really is a genius marketing strategy.
Disney could tell theaters they're getting a 75% of the ticket sales for the opening weekend but the theaters get 75% of the take themselves afterwards.
With a $450M world wide opening, that translate to about $110M of advertising. That buys "THE 6TH BIGGEST MOVIE OPENING EVER!" which will make normies think this movie is a smash hit and it's essential to watch it before Endgame.

What does this say about Amerimutts when China has better tastes than you?
I'll make it very simple and clear: Captain Marvel is really not worth shit. It's just not remotely entertaining and visually dull, exactly what it was meant to be.
Just keep this in mind that it's an origin story so don't go looking for storytelling ambition or character arcs. It's just a bland action movie that introduces us to a new superhero Captain Marvel, played horribly by Brie Larson. I became an instant hater watching her in this action heroine idiocy, something she manages to pull off with effortless incompetence. Watch her in the action sequences and there's no way you can be impressed. Viewers were literally groaning through some of the most heroic moments in the film. Samuel L Jackson as Nick Fury is as functional as always, it's just that his character feels even dumber and flanderized than what we've seen. Jude Law is also wasted, and so are Ben Mendelsohn as alien guy and Lashana Lynch as MCU Black Sidekick #3.
But the one character that ultimately steals the show is Goose, the cat. Some of the sequences involving her are so crass that it was really difficult to stop cringing.
Visual effects are perfunctory, and the IMAX 3D viewing just exposed them as mediocre. And since it's most importantly a virtue signalling movie, every single action sequence it delivers is fucking mediocre, especially the awful train sequence. I would call that dreary setpiece one of the major highlights of the movie. Cinematography in certain portions is really impressive, with it being to dark to see shit. Humor, like any other MCU movie, is tonally out if place and really manages to make you want to kill yourself.
Captain Marvel has a simple-looking origin story presented and executed in a mediocre manner. The directors have done a workmanlike job with the "characterization "of Captain Marvel, and that is what makes everything in the film seem even worse than it is. The pace is glacial, gore is alas minimal to none, and there's nothing suitable for kids.
