Comment on Sam Raimi to direct ‘Doctor Strange 3'

The Marvels grossed 206.1 million. Guardians 3 grossed 845.6 million. Quantumania grossed 476.1 million.

I’m not trying to convince you to like them boss, I’m just answering your question of “Does anyone actually watch MCU movies anymore…?” which is a resounding: Yes, they do.

Two of the three movies you named, lost hundreds of millions of dollars…

  I wasn’t trying to prove their profitability, I was trying to prove that yes, people watch them in response to you asking if people watch them still.

  The argument is for “yes people watch them.” 200 million is a lot of people watching them, regardless of what the movie cost to make.

    Okay, look, I didn’t think I was going to have to defend this position so hard, but here I am. I don’t know movie theatre prices in USD, so I converted US$200 million into my currency and divided it by a very conservatively expensive ticket price and got over 9 million people.
    
    I cannot stress enough I am not trying to make an argument for or against its success. But 9 million people is a lot more than 0 people.
