Comic book movies don't win Best Picture. Neither do films released in February, a year before the next Oscars.

The bigger deal will be the draw. There's so much hype now for this movie that it will be considered newsworthy if it doesn't make $140 to 150 million in its first week. The only films at that level last year were The Last Jedi ($220 million), Beauty & The Beast ($174m) and Guardians of the Galaxy 2 ($146m).

No mainstream movie featuring a primarily black cast has ever made more than $100 million in its opening weekend, so if it reaches the 140-150 million plateau, then that's significant news I think.
