The studios are bracing for it. In January the projections were 140-180 million opening weekend. They're most recently reported at 80-120 million.
Brie walking back her statements in that recent fluff piece with the white guy was PR damage control. There's no need for damage control without damage.
See I don't see what she said as "damage control" per say. She just said it in a more PC way. It's stupid to me that she "had" to do that, but her original point still stood. She didn't apologize or say her idea was wrong.
And for the projections.......who in their right mind would originally think a Captian Marvel movie would do $160 million the opening weekend? Especially the 1st or 2nd week of March! And I agree with the article's writer that said.
outside of Iron Man‘s $102M and Black Panther‘s $202M (and he was introduced in Captain America: Civil War), no other Marvel origins film has opened to north of $100M, particularly those in the deeper universe, i.e. Doctor Strange ($85M) and Guardians of the Galaxy ($94.3M).
If this movie has a $100M first weekend, it'll make it one of the strongest Marvel openers of all-time. Honestly even $80 million would be a good number.
