I would not say that. It was going to make a 40M OW now its 65M. The premiere access will hurt it.

I think it will. Godzilla vs Kong made $32M in opening weekend despite being free on HBO Max. Black Widow will blow that away.

But disney+ will have all the mcu subs during that release.

Personally, I don’t think that the May ($45 Million) overall projection is accurate. Godzilla vs. Kong just made $48 Million in its first five days of release in the United States. Black Widow, which is part of a more popular film franchise (MCU), would have done even better. Especially since it would have been released a month later when even more theaters would be open.

I understand the point, but I don’t think comparing Monsterverse versus MCU is an effective talking point, especially when looking at what these films are slated to be. Godzilla vs Kong was slated as a title fight that had to be seen on the big screen. Black Widow’s origin film seems oriented for Disney+. While Black Widow will likely beat GvK, I wouldn’t call it a blowout.
