No Way Home did brilliantly and made a fortune. Thor is still $150m in the red.

The only people parroting the “MCU is dead” line here are those who fallaciously accuse others of saying it.

Next year shall witness the birth of the Cruise Cinematic Universe (CCU)

Four Cruise movies every year, year after year, until he drops dead or decides the money just ain't worth it any more

It shall be Cruisetastic!

No Way Home isn't technically MCU. Sony owns it and makes most of the profit. Can't count that among the MCu's success. Thor isn't quite in the red yet, I don't think.

NWH is the MCU, but is a Sony not a Disney film.

In the red means it’s not gone into profit yet. It’ll need in excess of $750m for that to happen. I’m not sure it’ll make that theatrically, but we shall see.

* Which other movie coming up in August and September and October can slow down Maverick? Zero. It's a complete free zone, no one else wants to fly and get stuck in an airport waiting for his bag on another airplane to a different destination two weeks later.
Might as well stay home and watch Top Gun: Maverick @ a theater near you for the fifth time.

** How long the speedo guy stayed in theaters? End of June 2022?
And he started in December 17, 2021? That's 196 days for a guy in a speedo jump suit.

Of course. That's why I said technically. You cannot count the box of No Way Home in the overall MCU since the gross of the box office goes to Sony. Disney only gets 25%. And while that 25% is nice, it pales to what Sony made.

Ah, gotcha. Finances are my kryptonite.

Watch the full video (15 mins), it's worth it.

BluBonnet · 07-24-2022, 11:09 PM

I've seen the Blue Angels IRL. You need a good set of earplugs when those kids start flying around!!

That top grossing list is just an utter joke nowadays. Unless it's adjusted for inflation or based on # of tickets sold, it doesn't matter.

unberechenbar · 07-25-2022, 12:02 AM

Is it a coincidence that Top Gun: Maverick has the second highest percentage domestic gross on that list?

We all know that already for the last thirty years and more, @ least.
Just share the adjusted for inflation list and we'll have fun with it too.

No coincidence; this is during a pandemic and it's not playing in China because of that Taiwan patch on his jacket.
