Box office tracker EntTelligence estimates that translates into about 5 million ticket buyers.

Yeah, I eagerly awaited Infinity War and Endgame, but I was immediately marvelled out after that. Took me years before I watched Loki and Wandavision. They were both good, but I still don't have much of an appetite for them.

Similar with Star Wars, though that eagerness diminished a bit after ep 7 and a lot more after ep 8, to the point where I only went to see 9 more out of a sense of obligation to who I used to be. Funny because they were the opposite of IW/Endgame in their setup (ie, they planned the whole arc out for Marvel but didn't even plan a movie ahead with SW, didn't even use the same director).
