Well, it's coming:

Unsurprising. I feel like a lot of these sequels will get announced so that companies can “try again” after covid

Shang-Chi had a 150 million dollar budget and did 418 worldwide, with 224 of it domestically. That's a fairly solid and surprising domestic run. It made a decent amount of profit, but by no means a "blockbuster hit!" or anything.

Eternals had a 200 million dollar budget and did 384 worldwide, with 156 of it domestically. That's not good. It almost certainly lost money. I don't think they'll soldier on with a sequel.

I think what you might see is new Marvel movies still rolling out, but with smaller budgets.

That's called "oversaturation". It was inevitable.

But what do we call it when Spider-Man: No Way Home makes 2 billion, only a month after Eternals?

2 billion?! You really think this Spidey movie is gonna be the thing that finally makes people go outside and pack the theaters again even with the big bad scary virus outside?

I mean, maybe. 2 billion though? I'unno about all THAT.

I'd laugh so hard, though. "F*ck your Megatron Variant, Fauci! Me an' my boys are gonna go see Spider-Man!" and THAT'S how we finally moved on from Covid once and for all. That'd be awesome.

"Well we TRIED to tell everyone to stay indoors for their own safety, but it seems there's a new Spider-Man movie out, so suddenly nobody cares about getting sick. The hospitals aren't packed, but the theaters are!" Yeah, that would rule. We'll see.

Well, if pre-sales are already EXCEEDING Endgame's...

Wouldn't it be wild? Disney does all that work creating a "shared universe", pump out 20-something movies (including TWO "Ant-Man" movies... I am never, ever gonna get over that ), setting up "event" after "event"... and in the end, the license to print money was right in front of their faces the whole time, just get Tobey and DaFoe to suit up again, simple as that.

"You mean that's ALL we had to do? JESUS CHRIST, man! We gave Brie f*cking Larson a movie, and you mean all we had to do from the beginning to get a billion-dollar gross was sell people their own nostalgia? F*CK ME, man."

I do wish humans weren't such simple creatures. But on some level, it is rather amusing.

It's still oversaturation. The only difference is theyre throwing everything at the wall to get people to see spiderman.
