Just came across the name of a city in Illinois called Wauconda. Thought, hey that's funny, and googled the city. Here is an article on the place: https://www.cntraveler.com/story/black-panther-fans-wont-leave-the-town-of-wauconda-illinois-alone Stop prank-calling Wauconda, forever. Phones have been ringing recently at Wauconda's town hall, with prank callers wanting to know where the town's "vibranium" metal is, or just shouting "Wakanda forever!" at a startled receptionist, and then hanging up. Still, the community has since leaned in to the possible tourism benefits of their new fame, and the village’s Facebook page now shows plenty of residents, from the mayor himself to the local barber, posing in Black Panther masks.
I just looked at getting tickets to see it again tomorrow since the wife is out of town. All of the matinee showings are 75% full already.
Something delivered to my work from there the week before Infinity War came out, it definitely went up on everyone’s social media.
The stuff like Wasp acknowledging “Cap” next to Scott and Cap saying “Queens” to Peter Parker is just awesome simple shit.
Two parts I probably got too giddy about when I first heard it. Like I pointed with mouth agasp and friend just shrugs at me
“I'm particularly fond of these. I pulled 'em out of a place in Midgard called Tex-as. I even named them. Des, and Troy. You see, when you put them together... they destroy.”
I’ve often said that Ja Morant is the correct pick at number one and the evidence is mounting that I am correct
Think we’re going to stall out about 50-70mil short of Avatar(but beat it’s original run by a wide margin). Only pulled in 30mil this weekend and gotta figure it’s only got a couple weekends left.
Infinity War was in theaters until the week of Labor Day and made over $70 million domestically from this point on last year...and you'll still get a small bump from rewatches before Spider-Man I expect
Ah. The article I read was about Wick passing it for the weekend sales, never distinguished domestic or global.
Aladdin apparently is going to fuck Endgame with families. Anyone who goes to see that Aladdin is a fucking idiot.
I'm extremely offended by the live-action regurgitationification of Disney classics and this Aladdin one looks to be the worst of the bunch. Lion King cutting "Be Prepared" in the live-action is also equivalent to a formal declaration of war on fandom, give me my goosestepping hyenas.
