Heh, literally anonymous sources, which major media says is an essential, unquestionable form of Journalistic investigation and if you do question it you're attacking the free press and essentially a Nazi. (lol I agree with you, btw. Just making a joke based on the bullshit standards of the past 3 years.)

I keep seeing anecdotes and screenshots of empty theaters. Is there some kind of suspicion that box office numbers are being fudged? Not sure I understand the point.
We can debate this thing being trash or Larson having the emotional range of a walnut as the lead character, but I'm pretty sure there's no debate that it's a massive financial success.

I live down in San Diego. Last night I finally went to see the film at a Regal at the 10:30pm showing. There were about 10-15 other people in the theater. Last week when it released on Thurs night I was about to go watch it at the local AMC and decided to see how the seating was looking for later that evening. The last 3 showings of the night had barely been touched for reserve seating. Yeah I personally think something seems funny when it comes to how much money this is making.

I think there was probably a surge of the hardcore people who will see this no matter what, then basically it died out after that because no one cares to pay to see it again.

The other thing to consider: My local theater literally had showings every 30 minutes of the movie. Given the length of the movie, that means they had it running concurrently in like 4-5 rooms. If you have a shitload of showtimes, then each individual showing is going to have less people in it vs. having the film in only 1 or 2 rooms.

I'm still following this in the nerdsphere. Apparently all week there was a major drop off in theater attendance. I think that's normal because people work during the weekdays, but the YouTube nerds are convinced it's going to drop 70+% this weekend. I watch a lot of nerd stuff lately.

I went to watch it yesterday with the wife. It is absolutely too "on the nose" with feminism. Although it wasn't a turd per se, I will be disappointed if she takes a major role in Endgame. The character just isn't likeable and I don't want to see her dominate the pinnacle of this story arc a decade in the making to meet some diversity quota.

The people on twitter and shit backing her emotionless Captain Marvel can go to hell. The movie didn't have enough action scenes to make up for her terrible acting. The movie would have been total shit if it wasn't for Sam Jackson and Jude Law.
The theater I went to had showings every 15 fucking minutes too and when I went it was less than half full.

Just came back from watching it, and it wasn't half bad. Wasn't GREAT, certainly nowhere near as entertaining as Infinity War or the GOTG movies, but worth seeing in the theater. I was bracing myself for terrible acting but, as is often the case when you hear something hyped up to hell and back, the reality didn't live up to it (Which is to say: Brie's acting was fine).
I'm looking forward to Endgame now.

Oh yeah, in regards to Fury and his eye. So, after seeing that cat spew tentacles out of its mouth, why the FUCK would you ever stick your face right in front of its?
The way Fury lost his eye feels the same way as discovering how Han got his last name.
