Good Q. Early tracking seems to indicate there's a good chance, but one thing to consider is that Avengers more than doubled BP budget so matching revenue is one thing. Being as successful will be even harder.

The big question is if the audience is getting fatigued on Avengers or excited about next chapter in the overall story; since BP was of the cannon but also decidedly new and different. So far, trailer interaction and presale numbers-wise seems like people are excited.

Anyones attention tbh, but yeah Netflix would be great =)

First reply is correct, there are a number of sources out there for this data. ListenFirstMedia, Variety and Opus Data are some other good vendor. We work with a couple.

Man, I am so sorry about this. We're troubleshooting but have gotten other submissions and there doesn't appear to be anything systemically wrong, looks like a spot glitch.

I feel terrible especially since you took the time to put together the feedback, and truly we would love to hear it. If you don't mind, please feel free to reach out to us via twitter DM/email with any thoughts you'd still be willing to share.

Sorry. Sometimes. No. Good Options. We'll try harder.

You joke! (maybe?) But eventually this is sort of the hope, right?

Sequels are like a trap perfectly designed for movie execs, there is a sort of guaranteed baseline of success - but you're also guaranteed diminishing returns. Currently, they are squeezing a struggling market and sacrificing long-term viability for short-term revenue boosts that mask the structural problems. It's sort of still churning out $10B/year as a market, but that's hiding a lot of weakness and our suspicion is that things will change drastically in the next 5 years.

Hopefully, if we're all thinking about this stuff a little smarter, things change for the better.

Actually lol-ed at this reply.

In a better world perhaps this would be true...

That's a good question, and it's true if you're a casual movie watcher beyond the critics and audience scores I don't think you do need much more tbh. And we do make those available, and aggregate and weight all the inputs across many sites so we give you a really good score there. There may be an Expert vs Casual mode in the future where we hide some of the crazier stats.

That said, some of the feedback we've gotten so far from more casual users also likes the future movies and buzz score, it's an easy way to see what's coming up this year and how excited people are about it.

Thanks for the input, it's something we've considered - the login is not meant to be obstructive. It's functional and helps us on the application development side because we can then build with the expectation of a logged in user and make accommodation for natural customizations like saving reports, custom defined movie lists, etc. Plus it is free, and we don't and will never abuse your info.

We do try to communicate the value prop in the blogs, the video and (yes) the screenshots. At least enough to get people to clear the relatively small hurdle of a SSO. If it's a matter of doing that more effectively I'd love to hear your thoughts there =)
