The 1st time was with the MARVEL Marathon and after 14 Hours, I couldn't wait to leave.. Then the next day on Friday, my sister and I saw it and her leg was bothering her from when she broke it and had surgery, so we left and today, I saw it in IMAX 2D at Noon and stayed for the Mid-Credit, but not the end.. I will though next week when I see this again on Discount Tuesday in IMAX.. You can't beat this for $6.00 in IMAX.. $11.00 in IMAX on the other days before Noon..
I highly recommend you stay for the 2nd end credit scene. It's excellent.

Question: so, when Iron Man was released, it was done so by an independent studio named Marvel Studios? Before Disney bought it, who financed it?
Iron Man was distributed by Paramount. However, it was financed by Marvel. Paramount was just the distributor.

This should be a very interesting year for this list. No studio has more than 3 movies from the same year on this list. However, Disney may change that in 2016. They currently have Zootopia, The Jungle Book, and Captain America: Civil War all slowly climbing the rankings to make the list. After that, Finding Dory and Star Wars: Rogue One both have an excellent chance of making the list. That would give Disney 5 films from the same year that are each 1 of the top 200 domestic adjusted grossing films of all-time. That would truly be an amazing result.

It is not an Avengers movie, but it has most of the Avengers in it. For box office purposes, it is fair to think of it as an Avengers movie. However, it IS behaving like an Avengers movie. And the final domestic gross is going to show that because this movie is going to come close to Age of Ultron or pass Age of Ultron domestically.
The OW is not the whole story. The final result is, and this film is in good shape.

Calm down, I'm just self-reflecting over here. Cuz I've been balls deep in this stuff for almost five years.
Why don't you self-reflect by yourself? If you feel like you have wasted the last five years of your life here, then you have some things you clearly need to work out alone. Box Office is just for fun. If it isn't fun for you, then move on.

Rth just messaged me...hahahahaha you guys are NOT going to like the new number
This is better than the garbage La Bonice pulled earlier, so at least we are trending in the right direction.

Disney/Marvel films usually are more family type of films and have good Saturdays and Sundays, so the OW will be fine. The more important issue is that the OW isn't the important thing. The box office total is much more important. I think that this film will have good legs and an excellent domestic total.

Disney domination will continue this weekend. It has been a great year so far, but there is more to come.

It is coming. I am seeing Civil War on mother's day, so it should be done shortly after that. Whether the film makes my list or not remains to be seen.

Zootopia is way way past the point where anyone should feel sorry for its run. And it's still doing excellently right now!
I am still hoping that it can get to $340M.

Yes.

If we're talking great casts, don't leave out It's a Mad, Mad, mad, Mad World. Lots of hugely famous comedians in that movie.

I am more interested in domestic numbers than WW numbers. I am hoping that both Zootopia and The Jungle Book can reach $340M domestic.

Well because they do all there prelim numbers themselves and get a solid idea of its range in each country. They have a better understanding than us on all those rates. Plus the final total does factor into how much they can sell it to TV stations, VOD services and so on.
I found a great website that really explains how movie studios make money and what is really going on. However, I feel like this website just put the authors book online. Therefore, since I can't tell if the site is owned by the author, there may be copyright issues, so I won't post the link here. But, if anyone is interested in the movie industry, PM me, and I will send you the link for the website/book.

800m is the reported break even point apparently, so anything under that I suppose?
I don't see how there could be a break even number for a movie's gross. It is impossible. The reason being, the movie studio gets a different percentage of the profits in each country. Domestically, the movie studio gets 50% and the movie theaters get 50%, which is why domestic numbers are so easy to work with. However, OS the percentages vary by country. Generally, the movie studio gets about 40% OS. However, the movie studio only gets 25% in China. Therefore, there is no way for any number to be a break even point because generally studios get a bigger share of the profits domestically than they do OS.

I'm sure their "Avengers" is supposed to be Justice League.
I agree. Justice League is supposed to be their Avengers. BvS was a unique situation that they had because they could team Batman and Superman up for the first time on the big screen and that alone is a huge cross-over. WB added Wonder Woman to the movie and it still fell short of expectations. But, WB still has Justice League. A good Justice League movie can make huge money at the BO and launch their DC Universe.

Not enough people liked the movie to give it any momentum. If it was well liked word of mouth would have overcome anything media has to say. This movie opened with $166m dollars in the US alone. It had an RT score of 29% and people paid their money to see it anyway. Word of mouth is just not good. The movie I dying a natural death. Sorry you don't think it' fair but that's the way box office works. There is no smear campaign nor is there any conspiracy against Batman v. Superman so please give it a rest.
How much is Disney paying you to say that?

I have different answer each time I ask :
are the Sucide Squad worlds and Justice League Worlds linked besides the Batman/Joker connexion or what ?
Thx.
It seems that they do take place in the same universe. I heard people say they weren't also, but it seems that they are.

Marvel's sausage-making factory is second to none. Now that they have tremendous clout, I'd love it if they occasionally tried to make a premium steak. (Mixing metaphors badly).
Daredevil Season 2 on Netflix may be more to your liking. Disclaimer: it's a tad violent.

According to this argument, the best burger ever made is McDonald's quarter-pounder.
The best is very subjective because everyone has individual tastes. But, if you're trying to make a blockbuster, then you want to appeal to the most people. So you want to have the McDonalds burger (or more accurately the Five Guys burger b/c you want the prestige along with mass appeal). If you're in the business of blockbusters that is.
There are 6 major movie studios today and all 6 are playing the blockbuster game. Therefore, they need to make movies where the most people will say that they're the best movies. Especially today where movie attendance is down, but people show up in mass for event movies. You're obviously entitled to dismiss them as not your cup tea too.

Yeah, I mean, in theory I could understand why people would hate mutants, but love the Avengers, seeing as Mutants are a different species. However, how would the general public (in the comics) know who is a mutant and who is a mutate? Doesn't make sense.
Yet, we're going to see Marvel do that with the Inhumans. So they're still going in that direction, but substituting the Inhumans for the X-Men.

It's interesting that this thread's title has Marvel listed first. Despite DC being before Marvel if we're going by alphabetical order and the fact that DC existed before Marvel, Marvel still is first in the title.

Top 200 Domestic Grossing Movies of all-time (Adjusted for Inflation)
in Box Office Discussion

They actually took out a loan with Merrill Lynch to raise the money to finance the movie. They put up the rights to some of their superheroes as collateral to get the loan.
