Is the Superhero Boom Officially Over?

Scott Mendelson on the state of the box office.
2

This week I’m rejoined by Scott Mendelson of The Wrap to talk about the state of the box office. Is the comic book boom over? What should we be looking for from Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 if we want to assess the health of Disney’s cash cow? What did Scott make of The Flash at Cinemacon? When will the mid-level movie recover? Why is 2017 a better comparison point than 2019? All that and more on this week’s show! If you enjoyed it, share it with a friend!

Going to give this a listen, but I think The Marvels will be the big indicator of the genre’s health this year. Captain Marvel popped off for an improbable (and unwarranted) billion when it came out. It’s in the cellar of MCU films for me in terms of quality and the sequel will be heavily tied to 2-3 Disney+ shows.
