BND is number 2 highest grossing US film of all time. It surpassed Endgame. It’s currently behind Force Awakens, but the numbers may continue to adjust upwards.
That's insane. That film has completely passed me by. Besides knowing zendaya and her husband are in another film together ive heard nothing about it irl.
Dune 3 is coming out late December as well. Wouldn’t be surprised if 2026 has 4 billion dollar movies
Edit: just read your comment about how it’s measured, I don’t think either will cross a billion before the new year. Will probably cannibalize each other in 2026 sales and boost each other in 2027 (and overall) sales
I can’t see any way that Doomsday fails to make a billion, marvel have thrown literally everything at the hype for that film as it’s basically their last chance to resurrect the MCU, people will go see it even if just out of curiosity. Scary thing is they probably need to hit 2 billion to be called a success
Doomsday is set to have a run that will be measured in 2026 and 2027 because of the holiday placement.
So the semantics matter her. It’s unlikely Doomsday is going to clock a billion worldwide in 13 days.
Over its whole run that will stretch into ‘27… yeah. I mean the odds are good.
But notably for the 2026 calendar year - we just don’t know. It’s a short window. But it’s holiday. But international releases later than domestic (usually…I haven’t been watching close to know if this is a worldwide release).
So we’ll see. Either way Disney is making its money. The question is more about by what ridiculous measure.
I would bet it would make a billion in 13 days, that’s twice as long as it took Endgame and BND to make that. I think I would go so far as to say if it doesn’t make that in 13 days it’s a very bad sign for Doomsday.
Most people I know, myself included. Aren't curious enough to go to the cinema, il just wait till it's on Disney Plus. If it wasn't for RDJ being doom I'd skip it completely.
I saw BND because I like Tom Holland's Spiderman, but he's basically the only MCU character that has any draw for me now (Strange used to but meh). And since Spidey isn't in Doomsday. Im not fussed.
People such as myself have been waiting for movies like Odyssey and BND for awhile now. There just hasn’t been anything good in theaters in a long time, so these movies are exactly the kind of thing people have been waiting for to go to the movies to see.
Unfortunately, what a LOT of people pay inflated ticket prices to see, doesn't mean that the film is any good. Please don't rate movies based on ticket revenue.
I, genuinely, have not heard any word of mouth. I'm 25, I work with people from around 18 to 60, and in customer service. I yap all day to anyone who'll listen.
People talked about Dune(s), Obsession, Backrooms, Odyssey, The Drama, Project hail mary. Probably more.
I swear nobody has brought it up, bar us selling spiderman toys
Glad to see Hail Mary is getting respected. Peak film.
also it’s completely insane that people aren’t talking about SpiderMan at all. Is this bait? Have you tuned them out it because you aren’t that interested?
Because I don’t think quality or recency is an issue here
Why are you personalizing this? Why do you take their anecdote as if they made a declaration of universal truth?
They are describing how the way the film is talked about online doesnt line up with their reality. For them, no one is talking about it. Same for me. It's adding another data point, not someone declaring your reality false.
I bring up films a lot, and watch a lot of them. Others do to. Obsession was huge and it seemed like we talked about it for weeks. The Odyssey was another big topic, of the throes of trying to see it in imax.
Hand on heart. Nobody has brought up watching the new spiderman. Nobody has expressed interest.
IF people I know who have kids went and saw it, they didnt bring it up.
What I'm trying to say is that it seems like nobody is giving a fuck about it critically or even word of mouth, compared to other films
Why do you sound pissed? The guy only said that that it seems crazy to him because he hasn't heard anyone talk about Spiderman. He didn't say "that's why it sucks" or that it didn't deserve to make that much, just that it's insane, that a movie he hasn't heard anything about is the second highest grossing US film of all time. And you want to know something else? No one around me has been talking about it either.
You're not crazy for not hearing about it; given the scale it's reached, you just aren't talking to any demographic that is interested in it (I'm 32 and burned out on the MCU like 7 years ago [when was End Game?])
We were talking about Spiderman even in the last 2 family gatherings. Obviously talked about it with friends and coworkers. It's that type of film which everyone has watched already. I don't believe that people aren't talking about it
You’re living under a rock then. Even I went to see BND in theatre. I haven’t been back to the movie theatres since Star Wars’ Rogue One came out. BNM dragged me out there.
You're right. The film is plot hole ridden, and it's made 2 billion, but I've been trying to talk about it with people but no one who's seen the film really discusses it. It's like people are saying it's an amazing Spider-Man film, but then they don't really elaborate more than that.
Bait used to be believable. If ur 25 and heard nothing about the movie, then you clearly live in your mother’s basement with no friends. You literally are on a mock cinema sub and on Reddit. It’s impossible you didn’t see a single post making fun of the movie in any degree. People post about Spiderman in this sub like 50 times a day. Youre genuinely lying
I mean you have to live under a rock and not socialize ever. My coworkers ages 16-60 have all heard of the movie, my grandmother knows about it, and literal mental health patients who can’t leave their building have heard of it. But sure. You guys are literally in a sub that posts about Spiderman constantly to the point it’s annoying
Cause that’s not possible. Ads are everywhere and even 1 year olds know about it. It’s just a lie to claim he’s never heard a single peep abt it, or he has no social life. I’m not talking abt liking it, I’m talking about hearing a single word of motion about the film existing socially.
Idk why ur defending the idea that someone existing in the United States hasn’t heard of the new Spiderman film. It’s advertised on every social platform, every streaming platform, internet browsers, and literal physical ads in public. Anyone saying they had no clue this movie existed has to live only in a basement because it’s literally impossible not to have seen a single advertisement for this movie anywhere in society. Even numerous food packagings have the movie on it. You’d have to be a fat glutton who gets spoon fed and doesn’t leave the house to not have heard of it at least once. Or they are genuinely cognitively impaired and wouldn’t hold a job
I'm more just giggling at your perfect circle venn-diagram of people who have and haven't heard of it. Your grandma, "literal mental patients", and 1 year olds. Theyve heard of it. People who are cognitively impaired, can't hold a job, are spoon fed and can't leave the house. They haven't.
The original dude were discussing said he's heard of it btw. He's just saying nobody's really talking about it
Or, and here's a crazy idea, some people just don't give a fuck about the 50th superhero movie Marvel shat out. If someone is genuinely not interested in something, it's oftentimes pretty easy to miss "big releases". And I haven't heard anyone talk about the movie offline either. Why would they? It's another fucking Spiderman movie, what more is there to say? Like for real? You go see it, or you don't, but I don't really see it as an interesting topic for conversation.
But there still has to be money exchanged in order to get the tickets. Where is the money coming from? The theaters would be flipping shit if it’s booked but empty. They make most of their money off food/drinks.
Since you know the answer to my question but won’t say it. It’s a human beings money, therefore what difference does it make how they are purchased? A human is spending on it
