  1. Despite the arrival of The Inbetweeners 2, Guardians of the Galaxy enjoyed an excellent $5.6m (£3.3m) second weekend. Disney’s latest Marvel outing has now reached $23.2m (£13.8m) after just 11 days in play and will shortly overtake Thor’s $23.6m (£14.04m) UK haul. It’s in a great position to hit £20m and potentially surpass Iron Man 2’s $35.6m (£21.2m) as the third best Marvel Studios release in the UK.

    Top two are Avengers and IM3 right? Great result for Guardians there.

  3. Lol just like Titanic was a fluke right... Alpha you do know Avatar on HVideo blew away avengers right and is still selling even the non 3D copies lol.

     

     

    There is no way SW7 or Avengers will have the fan following that Juggernaut has.. Comics movies also have limited potential is getting those 50-90 yr old crowds into theaters. I mean Camerons brand commands a following that Ive never seen its equal in history. Once this man annouces a big project, you have to be part of it.. Even his side projects make killer money.

    I'm not sure what I expect from Avatar 2 yet. Normally I would say it'll have a big drop-off, but it will be a sequel directed by James Cameron, which is an incredibly powerful combination. I think BvS, Avatar 2 and Avengers 2 all have the potential to earn $2b+ worldwide, but at least one of those will likely miss that mark.

  4. To join the debate, I also think it's very wrong to say that franchise movies automatically suck. Especially this year has been great for movies in general. We had a great, "original" (i.e.not part of a franchise) science.fiction film in EoT, but we also had great franchise fare, i.e. Apes, X-Men, HTTYD 2 and so on. IMO a great movie is a great movie, franchise or not.

  5. There are not very mainstream movies in a year made with main characters who are Black.  They make up about 12% of the U.S. population but are only the main character in about 7% of the mainstream movies.  And this year, the big hit one that made 130 domestic had an 18% on RT, and so far the one that is bombing is the one with a 79% on RT.  I predicted Get on Up would make 75 domestic.

    First of all, Get on Up is not bombing. And second, your prediction for it would still have been way less than what Ride Along made. So why are you so surprised that Get On Up isn't performing remarkably well?
