>Domestic Total as of Nov. 18, 2016: $168,645,877 What went wrong?

>>87803119
Needed more cowbell

>>87803119
168M for a non-super B-level character? Sounds like it did fucking fantastically.

Running some numbers, I'll let you know in a few minutes.

>>87803119
Nothing this is the best marvel movie by far

That's bad for domestic?

>>87803119
What was the budget for it?

Unless they threw Avengers dosh at it that's pretty good for a character formerly on the public knowledge level of Ant-Man.

>>87803826
165 million

I believe worldwide it grossed half a billion dollars.

>>87803897
Not bad. Certainly enough for a sequel.

No one expected Avengers level numbers. That's fine for a character who's never had a movie before.

>>87803119

Even comparing it to GotG wouldn't be fair given the timing of that movie.

It met expectations.

It's on pace to be the third-highest grossing MCU origin movie behind Iron Man and Guardians. That doesn't seem too bad.

This movie was good but it felt terribly short

>>87803947
only had two movies before*

>>87803119
>a film made back its budget in domestic sales, and several times that internationally

Nothing?

>>87804096
But if Suicide Squad taught us anything, it's that a capeshit film needs to make a billion before it's a success.

So here's some quick and dirty numbers, all grabbed from Box Office Mojo.
Since there isn't a complete third week for Doctor Strange yet, I limited it to the first two weeks for all the MCU movies.
Then I added those two weeks domestic grosses together, and divided it by the eventual total domestic gross (Ignore the Doctor Strange numbers, they're in the chart, but I removed them from any calculations.)
I added those percentages and averaged them (again, removing Doc Strange's since his % total would throw it all off), and found that the MCU films generally make 70% of the Total Domestic Grosses in the first two weeks that it's out.
Using this number, and the 2 week sum of Doc Strange, we can get that DS's projected total gross will be ~$233,827,474, which would put it right between Winter Soldier and Dark World, which seems appropriate.

It's also already made back its filming budget, recouping marketing dollars will yet to be seen.

Most movies did bad this year.

>>87804199
Thankfully, not everyone is as retarded as WB when it comes to movie publishing.

>>87804199
Suicide Squad was a shit movie, but it was a successful shit movie.

Now, whether WB considers it "successful" compared to what they were expecting from it is a different story, but it made money.

>>87804057
Pacing was an issue, mostly because Dr Strange's origin requires several years of training

>>87804377
SS was a pretty fun movie tho.

>>87804229
youre pretty good

>>87804259
Yeah don't you know SS financed hillary's campaign AND space exploration , just for publicity? They needed five thousand quintillion dollars to brake even

Thanks. I'm a business major so this is basically the only kind of shit I know how to do.
Here's a slightly cleaned up version.

>>87808387
I'm curious to see how close the final figure will be to that.

I dunno. I thought it was pretty fun and got the impression that general audiences would agree. Better than most recent capeshit in any case, both Marvel and DC.

>>87803119
Marvel is kill

>>87804076
The failed TV pilot and the straight to DVD animated one?

>>87804229
Good work, Hackfraud. There anything on their break even points?

It had the best second weekend drop out of any capeshit this year and the second best overall in the entire MCU, what are you talking about? Right now it's sitting at 500 million WW.

It's gonna make about 700 million WW at the end of its run, that's great for a solo movie with an unknown character and no cameo from an established Avenger.

>>87803119
it sucked

>>87805319
Except Strange didn't finish his training. He's not the Sorcerer Supreme, he's only the NY Sanctum master out of necessity, and the eye/cloak did all of the major heavy lifting for him.

Idk where this idea that he trained in two months came from.

>>87803598
You mean "worst,' right? Because at least Thor wasn't fucking Iron Man warmed over.

>>87804229
Don't forget that theaters take half the gross for themselves.

>>87803119
Funny thing is, Dr.Strange actually DESERVED big gross, unlike ANY 2016 capeshit. Memepool was fart-fap-joke memepool, BvS was MARTHA, Ciwil war was MUH BUCKY, X-men was party of nu-males and bad CGI, and Squad was cringefest. And yet, they're more successful.

>>87812931

To be fair in the original Doctor Strange comics the Eye does most of the heavy lifting for him as well.

>>87804377
I still remember that Sony email where they thought a Sinister Six movie was like a two billion dollar idea.

Some movie studios are just batshit crazy.

In WB's case had they not butchered Suicide Squad it might actually have made what they wanted it to make.

This wasn't a summer blockbuster. If they wanted it to make more money it would have been released in the summer not the fall.

>>87812931
This
People are nagging that "he obly does the whip shit only" and "where is the magic"
If these retards actually watched the movie, maybe they would've kno

>>87803119
>>87803751
$168m is respectable for any movie on two weeks of release; by Monday it'll be around $180m.

However OP has made the mistake of believing his dollars have worth. As he isn't Chinese, this is incorrect - in one week in China, Doctor Strange has made $93m.

America is obsolescent. Don't get sick, yankee OP! You will die in a gutter!

>>87803119
The audience wanted a bargain

>>87804199
Not every cape film needs to be hot topic pandering.

Marvel is willing to do movies like this knowing they're a risk without turning them into demographic farming garbage to guarantee that sub-normer dollar.

Let the haters hate.

>>87813016
All those were movies with ready-made brand recognition and appeal. A movie like Dr. Strange, Guardians of the Galaxy or Ant-Man have to work from the bottom up.

>>87803119
>>87813016
>>87813370

Nothing went wrong, Strange is going to outgross Suicide Squad.

>>87813517

For the love of god please stop, 50 cent shitposting is bad enough on /k/.

>>87813623
>Marvel fan starts up the company wars
color me shocked

Also, reminder that Suicide Squad made it's boatload of cash without China.

>>87813643

No, all I did was bring up Suicide Squad because it's the most comparable movie of the year (first entry for a non-mainstream cape IP). I guess you could include Deadpool too; although I think he has more recognition these days, and I don't think Strange will surpass it anyway.

>ITT: Marvel interns

>>87813572
>All those were movies with ready-made brand recognition and appeal.

Suicide Squad

>>87813517
Suicide Squad made more in one week than Doctor Strange made in two weeks.

>>87814950
>>87814968

Suicide Squad didn't make a single cent of profit. It's a huge failure for WB.

>>87803119
Nothing?
I mean I always assume trolling when someone says "only hundreds of millions of dollars"
Like there are mountains of movies that would have a fucking party if they broke even within the year of the movie being made.

>>87814999
you have figures to back that up?

>>87814950
MOTHER FUCKING JOKER!!!

>>87815073

>Another veteran says the goal is survival: "The movie's got to do $750 million, $800 million to break even. If they get anywhere close to that, they'll consider it a win."
>Movie made just over $700 million

It lost millions of dollars for WB. It was failure.

No they still go to the movies

Had a friend who used to work in a theater when rise of the guardians was still showing

The parents and their kids walked up asked if any kid friendly movies were showing

He suggested that

Parents started yelling at him telling him that he shouldn't suggest a movie that was so satanic then they told him to get his manager after that

How many people knew there was a Thor cameo before seeing it? Lots of people leave the theater when credits start even after all the other Marvel movies, too.

That's great! How is that a failure? The benchmark for a successful blockbuster should be around $180 million. Doc Strange will probably break 250. It's doing just fine, folks.

Kind of a moot point to me since we don't know the marketing budgets for these movies. We can guestimate them, but it's not really useful since we know that they keep making the movies, they must be profitable.

>>87813517
The Chinese market is important, but a lot of that money stays in China. It will still gross enough there for Marvel/Disney to care about not pissing them off, but it's why domestic is so much more important than global.

Suicide Squad made almost as much money as Dawn of Justice without ever playing in China. That can be a very positive lesson for studios to learn.

>>87804057
What part of it felt short? The pacing was mostly fantastic.
Opening scene was good.
"Doctor" Strange part was good
The weakest portion is the early training segments.
Then you get him making fun of Wong, and it turns out amazing.
Rest of the scenes kept the fantastic pacing, until we got the Meme of the year.
Ending and post credits was nice.

>>87815265
Some theaters has the sanity to wait for the 2-3 minutes main credit roll to go, and let the camo roll, before turning on the lights.

>>87812939
Tell me how its Iron Man without telling me how Tony and Strange aren't both assholes. And even then Tony was a charming asshole. Strange had nothing to show for all his talents and was quite bitter even before the accident.
