Panther Beating Jedi And Avengers For Top 5

Black Panther to take out The Avengers for the No. 5 spot for the all time U.S. Box Office. WTF?
Next blog: Over 20 movie reviews for March.

Update: Sunday 3/25

Again, WTF? No. 1 in the U.S. and No. 3 after Avengers 1 and 2 world wide. Nobody predicted this, not even Disney. Avengers 3 has to take this out. Sorry but it wasn't all that compare to the gross amount. Well at least Panther beat Iron Man 3, the worst of the IM trilogy.

What they do is stick to the books that the films are based on. And not do the Walking Dead and be all over the place with the storyline and make up half the crap that the show does. But there is still so mch potential to this franchise. Here's my mini-review:
PR2: 3 out of 5. Compare to PR1 its apples and oranges. Not as tight as the first one. But this gets the edge as most of the action takes place in daytime and not at night amoung rain storms and the action can be clearly seen and not with frantic editing aka Transformers especially in the second half where they go all out assault. PR3? Bring it on !

Panther is Hollywoods Worst Nightmare
Panther is just about to take over the top 5 of U.S. all time passing Last Jedi at No. 6 and beating
The Avengers of the number 5 position. This will be Marvels biggest picture ever in the U,.S. market.
How the hell did that happen? But it shouldn't last long. Avengers IW should beat that unless its the biggest turd this side of Justice League. But as the article states, besides Han Solo, the competition doesn't have a chance till the summer. And even that doesn't look good with more sequels, ugh.
PS They forgot to mention one comparison with Titanic. The big picture that took on the ship was James Bond Tomorrow Never Dies, the 2nd Pierce Brosnan. Man that got buried by the iceberg.

Well, while I like Panther (3 out of 5), this has to be the most overrated Marvel film since Iron Man 3 (Sucked!) and Avengers 2 (disappointing) to be a big Box Office hit at over $1B in ticket sales.  I just don't get it. Of course the fans are connecting the dots with the big action piece taking place at Wakanda for AIW so Panther is a must see for that alone I guess. When we go back live in May we'll have our take on the whole Marvel money machine. And how big will Solo be after all this?

Whether it beats it or not is besides the point. Sure PR could be No. 1 for the weekend. But not a big deal when you have BP beat Avengers for that No. 5 spot.

If you look at boxofficemojo.com you'll see in the top 5 world wide are films from China. And while Panther did huge opening weekend, they did the Last Jedi and killed it the 2nd week after bad word  of mouth shut down the box office. That hurt it from entering the top 10 all time. China does not play around, thats for sure.

And for a complete contradiction, how is this happening considering the first one was banned. While it is a festival, why bother showing it if it's not going to get a major release to begin with.

They should have Favreau do the movie Trilogy. Lets face it. He got Iron Man 1 right. Never mind 2.
And everyone hates Rian Johnson for Last Jedi. He's already getting the blacklash and who knows what that story is about.

Indy Jones and the Fountain of Youth. I always wanted The Lost city of Atlantis to be told but after The Crystal Shit Skull we don't need another Indy. Let this die already.
