Which March superhero flick will win?

I see both doing 300m, but leaning toward Dr. Strange doing 350m.

Will wait till we get a DS trailer. Do think The Batman will open big though.

Need to see if Tobey Spiderman and X-Men are in it or some dead Avengers like Stark, but assuming they take advantage of the concept I think Doctor Strange 2 could be huge

Batman will win this but DS2 will put a decent fight.

Batman. Reeves will make a great movie plus Batman >>> DS.

The Bat wins this round but not by a lot

Right now it seems all the hype is behind Michael Keaton's return and "The Batman" is getting drowned out.

Hard to predict the future with Covid, I originally had Multiverse of Madness at $450M and Bats at about $500M. If they both opened today I think Strange would win though. That SpiderMan trailer was hype and the possibilities of the Multiverse unleashed should be a bigger draw than Batman (hopefully) being great again.

Nope, try again.

Doctor Strange 2 by a hair. Batman will have the benefit of spring breaks but DS2 will benefit from the MCU/multiverse connection.

Honestly, The Batman can go straight to HBO in my opinion. The production has been a mess, and that was even before covid. Dr. Strange and hopefully flashpoint offer new and exciting elements to the genre. The Batman looks likes such a regression it almost feels like Terminator Genisys. It’s already set up to fail as it’s going to be fairly or unfairly compared to Begins.

Well, assuming neither are on streaming, the pandemic has reached more comfortable/controlled levels, and the market resembles some normalcy again...

The Batman is going to need a ton of positive buzz before it opens and tons of positive WOM after it opens. Anything less than perfect (or near-perfect) is going to be deemed a disappointment and very likely underperform after all the film franchise has gone though. But, if absolutely everything goes right, it should have the higher ceiling, but as mentioned, the floor is also a lot lower.

Doctor Strange 2 already has more than enough goodwill from the MCU franchise (including coming off of a super-hyped Spider-Man 3) and WandaVision on Disney+, so it's pretty much guaranteed a big result at the box office regardless of reception, and is therefore probably the favorite just based on that, or at least the safe bet. It's range is more limited, but that range is pretty dang high.

the batman will dominate

Post subject:  Re: Doctor Strange 2 vs The Batman

Hm... so Doctor Strange will open big now I feel since it's direct continuation of NWH. Idk about $200m+ but $150m+ probably.

Batman is a wildcard. I guess let's see where we are February.

I feel really good about picking DSITMOM in the draft.

Post subject:  Re: Doctor Strange 2 vs The Batman

I switch to Dr Strange as well. MCU is crazy strong and there must be benefit with him being part of No way home. Batman needs to build its audience again. I am sure Reeves made a great movie. So Sequel will be way bigger like TDK was.

Yeah but this was not a contest regardless of Excel hyping yet another iteration of Batman.

Post subject:  Re: Doctor Strange 2 vs The Batman

I feel even more confident in The Batman out grossing DS:MOM :D after that trailer.

unless they start putting Spider-Man in ALL the rest of the trailers :lol: Batman's got this easily won

While DS will not be as successful as Spidey - it will likely do $400-450m.

I think The Batman will fall below $400m

Author:  Jack Sparrow [ Mon Dec 20, 2021 8:07 pm ]
Post subject:  Re: Doctor Strange 2 vs The Batman

They don't need to put Spidey in anymore movies and that didn't substantially help with Civil War. NWH will definitely help Thor and with Multiverse Madness concept Strange will strangely pull in a lot of curious audience.

Post subject:  Re: Doctor Strange 2 vs The Batman

No Spidey is not required at this point and is actually better off being put on ice (as Holland takes a break) which will make his return all the bigger.

Madness will be big regardless.

Post subject:  Re: Doctor Strange 2 vs The Batman

No way DS:MOM opens anywhere close to $260 million. I'd be surprised if it tops $180m OW :lol:
