3 billion worldwide is much more likely than 1 billion domestic which is nigh on impossible. -
Just noticed captain marvel was #2 on Friday.
-
we've known since ages ago that the Black Widow film is an origin story / prequel.
-
no really disliked it and I think most of the marvel films are boring / crap. I've realised i must have a much stronger connection to these characters than i previously thought.

I just got out of endgame. Hell hath frozen over...
-
I have not looked at any posts in the thread but if it managed 1B opening it would need a huge 2.78 multiplier to beat avatar
-
Because it's the finale, people want to see it ASAP. more urgently than they did for infinity war. It is nothing bad against the film.
-
Endgame is not beating avatar I don't get where these crazy predictions come from. It is going to be SO frontloaded.
-
People talking about 1B Dom? How on earth would that happen it would need to open like 450
-
Considered going to see it later but CBA. Also debating whether to even participate in this weekend thread. You know what happened last time I was in a weekend thread for a huge movie 😬
-
Is Easter usually BBQ season??? Either way... Enjoy the long weekend guys!
-
Yes that's what I'm saying. It's funny to have weather like this on what should usually be a fairly busy weekend. The box office has been sacrificed to the Sun God, Ra.
-
This weekend is a write off for cinemas. They should just send their staff home. Easter weekend and number one at the box office will probably gross like £27 total
-
cinemas already dropped Missing link.... very sad I wanted to see it this week

How Many Movies Have You Seen in Theaters? | 2019 Edition
Avatree replied to CJohn's topic in Lights, Camera, Favorites!
I would guess that Regal will make an unlimited scheme, since they were bought by Cineworld who have pioneered it in the UK. I hope you get that soon! -
Yes there have been a short string of big breakouts but for non breakouts they all tend to do between 90 and 130 million. for e.g. Wonder Woman, Black panther, Ant man 2, justice league, guardians vol2, spiderman homecoming, thor ragnarok, and Logan, all in the space of 18 months, all grossed around the same as Ant-Man (2015).
-
yeah exactly, no one knows how much these films cost, all that matters is box office $, this is a box office forum not the NYSE. If we judge films success by how much profit the studio makes then of course Ant Man is a bigger success than the lord of the rings trilogy
-
that is a very different comparison than specifically American import superhero films. just go on BOM and look at China grosses for standalone superhero films over past few years and you will see similar numbers
-
Okay? Don't know why you quoted that bit if you don't care?
-
No it hasn't. Superhero films are one thing that have not experienced much growth over the last few years in China. They usually gross around $100 million range, that was the case in 2015 and still the case today. that is the ones which don't break out.
-
so this weekend just gone which we're talking about, that's week days is it? BTW don't reply to me because you don't understand box office and i have no interest in arguing further. Have a good evening.
-
there's no way deep throat made $600 million or anywhere close to it.
-
What a ridiculous excuse. Movies have different release dates, yes that's how this business works. So because people don't want to take the time to go and watch Shazam!, it's actually making more money? 🤣
-
oh, duh, how could we forget Paranormal Activity. It grossed 13,000 x production budget. that other film is The Stewardesses btw. According to Wikipedia, it cost $100k, and grossed $25million. so 250x budget, not 500x, my bad.
