This will probably be a good bridge to Sam's own Captain America movie; I also think it could lead to a Thunderbolts movie based on Zemo's involvement.

Funny enough lopli, me too! Initially it was WandaVision... I dunno why, but this one is just constantly on my mind. The action from these two characters is just so much fun to watch, and I really really want to see what that Wakandan vibranium arm is capable of. Supposedly it has some hidden abilities, let's see them. Gotta say though, Marvel's lack of any announcements is getting rough right about now. Them now doing virtual comic con is one thing, but not even having an announcement of something down the road while DC is doing a whole fan dome? Come on!

I've heard Black Widow is getting delayed again |

Yeah, even rumors were scarce. Now at least we're getting rumors again. Hopefully that's a sign that things will be moving. I gotta imagine they're doing something, or taking their scripts to the next level or something.

Yeah, sucks that this show is delayed. This is one of the things I really was looking forward to watching as I navigated through being a teacher digitally. With a completely different set of expectations than the crisis situation of Spring earlier this year, I was gonna need something to escape with.
That said, the Black Widow situation isn't a done deal yet. The situation seems to be trending toward BW releasing on Disney+ tho, so I wouldn't be surprised if through a series of updates that's what ends up happening. Hope it doesn't tho, I really want theaters to survive this.

They're charging thirty bucks for mulan. I bet money they do the same thing for black Widow, then re release it in theaters after the pandemic ends for a few weeks like they did when they rereleased endgame.
Think about it:
People share streaming services. Most people watch movies with theirfamilies. When you take into consideration you can pay thirty bucks to watch a movie over and over again on multiple screens, jts not that bad.
Let's say the Black Widow budget was 170 million. They sell it for thirty bucks. Let's say it only sells a measly 5 million purchases just in the United States alone. That's 150,000,000 and that's not even taking into consideration the rest of the world, or the fact that if they re release it in theaters after the pandemic ends, let's say it makes the same amount end game did upon re release and makes about 2 and a half million. Take that 2 and a half million, on top of the thereotical 150,000,000 I mentioned,then let's say it makes another 150,000,000 over seas (an insanely low number considering world population), that means the movie would do more than break even of its budget. So I see this as going well for Marvel if they go the Mulan route

I'd compare the numbers they're likely to pull in to PPVs for fights. People get together, they chip in and they buy the fights. Very few events can generate even 3 million PPV buys, let alone even 1 million buys. However, since the $30 price tag of Mulan is only half of what fights usually cost to stream, I could see them reaching the 5 million buys number you suggested.
My only concern is that even though the studio would do well, the theater industry would still suffer. Box Office numbers most likely won't reach the numbers they do when a movie is brand new and no one has seen it yet. That's why I think studios should step up and provide some extra support to theaters. People are campaigning for the government to help the theater industry out, but at the end of the day studios profit tremendously from theatrical releases. They should invest in their business by helping to support theaters during this time. It'll be better for the industry in the long run.

Limited seating could be an option. Let's say a theater that holds 300 is allowed a third capacity but you have to wear masks and leave a seat between each patron. Tickets are like, 8 bucks to aa high as 12.50. You allow every theater in every country to do this. It would add up and be better than nothing

You're not completely alone. While I don't know enough yet about Ms. Marvel or Hawkeye, I was just as hyped for Falcon and Winter Soldier as I was for WandaVision, followed by What If, and Loki was in last place. Now, after having seen the trailers, I'm just as hyped for Loki as I am for WandaVision, with What If still second, and Falcon and Winter Soldier in the rear.
My reason is stupid, I will admit that. Namely, the big budget action turned me off to it all. I wanted to see some badass hand to hand combat from Winter Soldier, Batroc (I'm a huge GSP fan), U.S. Agent, Zemo, and whoever else was going to show up and instead we got a CGI Falcon explosion fest. Don't get me wrong, I want to see more of Falcon and I enjoy the action that character brings to the table. It's just that in the very short selection of footage we were treated to in February (the superbowl spot) the action there invoked what we'd see in the Mission Impossible films. Real people, real stunts. I wasn't thrilled with that canyon sequence like I thought I'd be.
That said, I am still eager to see this and it seems Disney has a ton of faith in it. I mean, no doubt they wanted to knock this one out of the park because it was originally supposed to be what launched the MCU's on Disney+. That is, before the release schedules changed.

I still feel most excited for this one (and they all look great so far) due to the legacy element. Sure we got Peter on his way to filling Tony's shoes and we know Natasha's sister will become the new Black Widow when we jump to the present, but Steve Rogers was such a symbol as Captain America, and it'll be interesting to see how Bucky and more specifically Sam try to honor it. It'd be like watching a Batman movie where Dick takes the mantle after Bruce's death.
