Give me a break.

“‘Captain Marvel’ Darting To Super $156M-$160M Opening”

Translation: Disney bought $100 million in tickets.

Can we ever stop falling for Hollywood BS?

This will generate over a billion when all said and done, it's Marvel capecrap among other things after all.

One big SJW comic/Marvel/DC/video game youtube fanboy gave it an above average (Notch below on being good according to his scale) rating which surprised me though. Could cut into the repeat business for many, who knows.

I understand that on opening weekends the studio takes about 60% of ticket prices. So this would mean they were tossing away $40 million to make their numbers look bigger just for opening night, and now they would presumably have to toss away another $40 million to keep up the pretense during the weekend. Did they do this for other MCU films?

I do not care if the movie does well or not, but your assertion that Disney bought $100 million in tickets is absurd - unless you can back it up with a little thing called verifiable facts. What, besides your obvious animus, is your source?

They could afford it.
