The duality of Warner Bros. cheesy

This is a rare list where the top spots aren’t Marvel.

WB would have had at least 6 more $1bn movies if the Potter movies and early LOTR films was released in the mid to late 2010s.

Yea. I'm actually surprised MCU didn't nick top 10.

Nah, I don't think so. It would only have brought in about $15mn more adding Saudi Arabia and maybe Qatar. Those gross still wouldn't get it a billion.

I think the main coup was missing Russia. That market could have easily added $35-40mn+.
It wasn't only those two territories...The two middle East territories it played in are UAE and Turkey...Africa included, don't think it was in Egypt..
Can't remember any other...But majority banned it ..

I believe if these markets where in play, it would have gotten a bill even without Russia...

It has incredible legs despite a steep second week drop, short window before D+, Light Year, Jurassic and Top Gun...

Oga, you're overestimating the powers of the middle East. The market in total can't add more than $25mn in box office.

UAE, Turkey and Saudi Arabia especially the Islam headquarters are the biggest markets in the ME.
Those three regions alone takes up about 90% if not more of the total region's gross. So how much the others wan contribute when even their biggest market can't deliver $20mn?

The whole of the middle East is not making any money equivalent to what Russia will give you for a blockbuster movie in any "Multiverse" any time soon. Forget this agenda, that market ain't that big. grin grin

Dollar-wise, the middle-eastern market have the potential to be big but some still consider movies haram, so they will never watch these movies showing in the cinema.

Well, actually the industry is rapidly growing and poised to reach $1bn market value by 2025. The market is opening up especially Saudi Arabia. By then it'll be a major player.

You know these countries usually tow the line of SA, so seeing the Kingdom be more open to foreign trends makes others more receptive.
UAE and Qatar have always been more open in the region.

I'm only just countering AnfieldFan's sentiment claiming MOM woulda made a billion hadn't it been banned by most of them. It's false. That region was never going to give up to $30mn at a stretch for a single movie. But that amount would be easily tabled down in Russia for a generally well received movie. That one na prime excuse and painting the region in bad light.

It would be first. I was anxiously looking for Joker before remembering it opened with $90mn+. grin

Same as Aquaman, that one's legs was mad especially looking at the competition it faced as well as meagre $65mn opening.

I'm not discounting Russia, it's just that Russia isn't available just like China isn't... So I'm talking about the more obvious ones..

The middle Eastern market has grown these past few years...Saudi especially...But you're right, with the middle East and Russia, it would have cracked a bill..

Why I also remarked that was most estimates put it at around 970-975 with later D+ access, so if that had held, the middle East could have pushed it to a bill..

Well, the region is rapidly growing and will hit $1bn by 2024/25. Saudi Arabia will become a major world player by 2030 with an estimated gross of $1bn.

That means you didn't watch Loki.


In that same WandaVision Agatha said that if she really tapped into her Chaos magic she would be a Multiversal threat which she did In MOM.
I don't know which other feats you want her to do given her power sets that will make you admit it.
That's statement, not feat.

Wanda backed it up with actions. The beginning of Strange was a universe being destroyed by a creature she summoned. If she summons similar creatures across multiple universes, that's a multiversal situation right there.

I don't remember any universe being destroyed in the beginning of that film and if we use that logic then Emperor Ultron from What If is Multiversal which isn't true undecided

Emperor Ultron doesn't have any Multiversal feats,same with Supreme Strange.
If he was Multiversal,he wouldn't travel universe by universe to cause damage,he would do it all at once.
