Anecdotally, I've spoken to two different casual movie goers who are skipping Captain America due to their dislike of Batman vs. Superman.

That jarred me a bit. I forget that people who don't keep up don't realize it's different comics/studios with very different track records for film quality.

Responses:

We also need to keep in mind that $25 million for Thursday previews is almost 2.5 times what Winter Soldier did. - Inigo May 6, 09:04 4
- FWIW, I strongly suspect Disney is holding back on that number. -- nm - David May 6, 09:09 3
  - Doesn't make much sense to intentionally have the Thursday number be lower than either Avengers movie. - Inigo May 6, 09:33
  - Why would they? -- nm - spamlet May 6, 09:17 1
    - To control the message. They did this with The Force Awakens, too. - David May 6, 09:21
That makes me sad, especially as a follow-up to Cap2 which is a high point for most. -- nm - Spawn May 6, 09:02 1
- Right. Winter Soldier is what every comic book movie should aspire to be. - David May 6, 09:11
i get this, i have zero desire to see CA, and i know the difference. BvS just finished me off for superheroes. - Andie May 6, 09:01 11
- you're making a mistake. but I get it. -- nm - Remlik Stark May 6, 10:04
- I have had superhero fatigue for a while and even skipped BvS. WOM on it killed me the rest of the way for comic movies unless - unbreakable mandy jones May 6, 09:04 8
  - i quit after the first Iron Man -- nm - mr. sassafras jeans May 6, 09:50
  - If you liked Cap2 you will like Cap3. -- nm - Spawn May 6, 09:10 4
    - I liked one but not two. Over long. -- nm - Amanda May 6, 09:30
    - And anybody here who didn't like Cap 2 might as well make out with Putin. - David May 6, 09:11 2
      - Two words: Three some. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd May 6, 09:16 1
        
        Two words: Devil's threesome. -- nm - Spawn May 6, 09:25
  - I don't have superhero fatigue, but I skipped BvS because I have shit fatigue. -- nm - Beryllium May 6, 09:06 1
    - eat more fiber. -- nm - groiny May 6, 09:09
- (i was close to being over it anyway, BvS just was the final straw.) -- nm - Andie May 6, 09:02
this actually makes perfect sense to me. -- nm - unbreakable mandy jones May 6, 08:59
That's anti-officer thinking. -- nm - Shaun May 6, 08:59 1
- yup. "that baseball game was boring as hell so I'm not watching hockey because of that" -- nm* - Beaker May 6, 08:59
