This is the correct post. If Ant-Man were to beat Solo, and Ep 9 loses to IW2, I'd say this thread it right. But as of now, it's not.

Thanks. You're proving me right. Chippy did not say Ant-Man is is expected to beat Solo.

Re: Has Marvel Dethroned Star Wars as the Box Office Champ?
I meant that comparison was wrong to base MCU's success as BO champ

Good point but I think it's still BO we are taking about

Re: Has Marvel Dethroned Star Wars as the Box Office Champ?
It's already proven that Marvel is the new box office champ. I was just giving evidence to highlight why that is.

I thought it was proven that marvel hasn't crossed SW yet but is on the heels of it.

Re: Has Marvel Dethroned Star Wars as the Box Office Champ?
It’ll go back and forth between the 2 gigantic franchise. This is the first time Star Wars has had 2 films released 6 months apart. Wait until that becomes common....on top of a live action tv show as bonus.

That would be the box office story of the year to rival Bland Panther.

Re: Has Marvel Dethroned Star Wars as the Box Office Champ?
Star Wars seems to have peaked with TFA, and we'll see where the bottom is... But has Marvel? I highly doubt IW2 will outgross IW (dom or WW). And with the new phase, they won't be using as popular characters (unless they get X-Men/F4).

Deadpool, Wolverine, Prof X, Jean Grey, Magneto, Mystique, the Fantastic Four and Silver Surfer, with the big baddie being Galactus

MCU bringing in mutants is when they will jump the shark

Darth Indiana Bond wrote: MCU bringing in mutants is when they will jump the shark Probably But a Silver Surfer solo film (so much potential there) leading into Galactus being the big bad for the next Avengers films would be awesome and would definitely work box office-wise

Re: Has Marvel Dethroned Star Wars as the Box Office Champ?
Did Chippy realize just now that TFA was peak of SW?
MCU has moved from 2 movie a year to THREE movies per year with the demand only increasing. I don't think it's going down anytime soon as long as their proven formula keeps getting audience in theaters.

Re: Has Marvel Dethroned Star Wars as the Box Office Champ?
Marvel wins now, however when their major heroes go on retirement, it can go either way

Re: Has Marvel Dethroned Star Wars as the Box Office Champ?
Guardians, Doctor Strange, Ant-Man Black Panther are not major heroes and they are already preparing to give the leadership to Black Panther and Spidey. I think the transition has begun in a subtle way and the audience seem to be responding well.
