Oh, I've no doubt it will, at least in North America. Rest of the world might be a different matter, since IIRC Ghostbusters is one of those franchises that doesn't really do huge business internationally, which could potentially give Eternals a pretty clear run until No Way Home shows up.

Of course, that's being generous and assuming Eternals doesn't end up front-loaded from MCU fans turning up just to see if there's anything plot-relevant to the upcoming movies with characters people actually care about.

How much of it was gb2016 causing issues and could it be that the stranger things cast was inserted to appeal to international audiences? And I'm gonna assume latter though given it appears audience numbers are down 38 percent I wonder how much of that MCU audience is waiting at home?

Venom 2 doing better overseas could be a sign. We won't know until the next weekend to be honest.

Marvel made the meme more real. This is a bigger crossover than endgame.

They might have felt that the original backstory for the Eternals was too similar to Inhumans which flopped so hard it was cancelled after only one season.

Didn't flopped hard enough as Agents of SHIELD was the de facto Inhumans series all but in name.
 
You can always tell how badly a film is doing when all you see about it is constant articles about how “ITS ONLY BECAUSE YOURE SEXIST/RACIST/ALBEIST/ECT THAT YOU DONT THINK THIS MOVIE IS THE GREATEST EVER!”

Thankfully, a large number of people remember Ghostbusters 2016 and are calling out the articles for the shit they are.

@Krokodil Overdose Great post. Agreed with all of it. Can't hit "Reply" to it, so I'll just single out these two bits
They're much more speciated than a group like the Avengers or the Justice League, who all tend to be all-rounders in terms of abilities. The Eternals are more like an RPG party with dedicated melee, support, mez, etc. I agree that when your job is to protect an entire planet that this team is woefully inadequate for the job, but they were clearly intended to function as a team.

That's a great analogy and it hadn't occurred to me. When you put it like that I can see how they would all fit together. It also explains why Salma Hayak's character really didn't seem to have much of anything powers-wise except for the ability to heal herself. She's the co-ordinator / leader. All she really needs to do is not be taken out.

I would watch the shit out of that movie, though if I had to guess, I'd say that Chloe Zhao was most at home shooting in the high prairie of South Dakota or the Australian Outback. Those were the only times that the movie had any soul that wasn't imparted by the actors.

Glad someone got what I was getting at despite my sparse explanation. I will forever mourn that we didn't get an MCU movie that actually opened with a Bollywood musical number.

Thanos has a brother?!


I thought according to his MCU adaptation, he was the last of his species because overpopulation destroyed his world.

I didn't even notice this guy. I saw him in the cast list (Eros) but didn't notice him in the movie. Also, it's really weird that Thanos' brother would look so different. We see Thanos' people in Infinity War do we not, in his projection of the past. They're all big purple people. Siblings looking dissimilar when they're all individual Eternals / Deviants / Titans / Whatever is okay(ish). But now they're part of a whole people, how come they look different? (I'm assuming Eros looks different. Like I say, I didn't spot him in the movie).

Yeah, it's very clearly changes the MCU's done crashing into each other. In the comics, Thanos the (human) Eternal having a brother and looking different from the rest of his family due to a genetic disorder is simple. Making Thanos an alien from the planet Titan rather than Titan, the moon of Saturn in our solar system, and making Eternals into robots rather than modified people is much more complicated.

I don’t think we actually see Thanos’ species in Infinity War/Endgame, we just see a distant shot of their planet when it was still flourishing.

The only way this makes sense is if they're not literal brothers, but connected by blood brotherhood, adoption, or whatever. Thanos being an Eternal introduces so many problems (including but not limited to "how the fuck did the Celestials fall asleep at the wheel this hard?") that I assume it's not going to be the case.

Then again, this is Phase Stupid we're talking about. Retroactively entangling Thanos with the cosmic scene in an attempt to scotch tape their lore together feels like something they'd do.

Eros appeared in the mid-credits scene, not in the movie itself.
 
Yeah, the Eros shit was inconsequential to the point of not even being worth it.

Anyway, I had forgotten about Titan being shown with people visible, but unless I'm forgetting another scene, they're shown so small they can reasonable just handwave that they're essentially alien here as opposed to the more obviously humanoid Eros. I don't think it'll be as big a retcon as expected.
 
Eternals sounds horrible.

Focusing on Multiverse/Cosmic shit is going to be bite Marvel/Disney in the ass I think. Cosmic Marvel was pretty niche even in the comics hey day IIRC, WTF makes them think bringing it to the movies in this capacity is going to be super popular?

I don't know what their deal with Spider-Man is going after No Way Home, but unless it's something iron clad with Sony they really need to push out X-Men ASAP

Serious question: why are their designs so bland? I'm not into capeshit at all, I came across action figures of these characters and their outfits stood out to me for the wrong reasons so I had to look it up.
