Yeesh, near 65% 2nd weekend drop for Noah if those deadline sat numbers hold. Shame people can't be more open to creative liberty with a well known story.

Yowch at Noah. Was afraid that would happen.

Really Captain America should have never been a secondary franchise though. He's one of the better known superheroes. Certainly way more so than Iron Man pre-RDJ.

1. rankings 2. statistics 3. numbers 4. letters 5. graphs 6. charts 7. The planet Jupiter 8. unorganized data 9. Binary code 10. The Ebola virus

Looks pretty good, although 9 is in serious danger following 7 and 8.

Actually I do like it (enough to rank it 3rd in MCU), but I can't quite get on board the love boat. Anyways I'm still exhausted from my Frozen tirades, I don't have the strength for anymore.

Lol, you're just the Harbinger of Chaos aren't you?

EDIT: Stupid spoiler tags won't work for me so read at your own risk: Lol, I never thought of that. Although really the only one of those I would truly count is Gordon since Ra's was an imposter in Begins, and anytime they attempt death with the main character in a superhero movie you automatically know it's a fake out. Until someone has the balls to kill Bats/Supes/Spidey off for real.

Depending on how this weekend plays out, there's an outside chance for TWS. If not, there will probably be enough goodwill and inflation for Cap 3 to do it.

Back to TWS and MCU, is anyone else getting annoyed at this:

I don't remember much of anything from X-men 3. I've willfully and blissfully deleted it from my memory.

Kinda how I feel about Thor and Hemsworth. I think that's why the Thor movies are so enjoyable for me. Well that and Loki/Hiddleston.

Eh, all the villains sans Loki in these movies have failed to leave much of an impression. It's just something I've come to accept from them at this point. Though TWS' "villain" is definitely second best so far.

Thor 2 is definitely underrated, imo. It's nothing groundbreaking, but there's a lot of fun to be had in it. I love the final fight, closest anything has come to duplicating the pure fun of a lot of the Avengers scenes for me.

3-5 are really interchangeable for me: 1. The Avengers 2. Iron Man 3. Captain America: The WInter Soldier 4. Thor: The Dark World 5. Thor 6. Iron Man 3 7. Iron Man 2 8. The Incredible Hulk 9. Captain America: The First Avenger

I thought they were both "good" on first viewings. On repeat viewings...yeah not so much. Though IM3 holds up better than IM2 for me.

I can kinda get where you're coming from. Even though nearly everything about it is technically good, there's still something that just doesn't quite register with me. For me, I think it's really just that Captain America's character is too superhero archetypal and Chris Evan's portrayal is too stiff for me to ever truly invest. I dunno, I keep thinking about the movie and even though I can't pinpoint much of anything I thought was bad I still don't care that much about it.

Yeah I think it can do a bit better than the first's multi and hit 2.7x+. 3x is out though I'd say, if only because its late legs will suck once summer hits.

Haha, I was just thinking that myself the other day. If we were truly following the reniassance pattern this would indeed be the TLK. Tangled, WiR, and Frozen mirror Mermaid, Beauty, and Aladdin's admissions for the most part. WiR/BatB not quite as well, but TLM/Tangled and Frozen/Aladdin's admissions are eerily similar. And Winne the Pooh was the flop in between Tangled and WiR like Rescuers Down Under in between Mermaid and BatB. So if that pattern continued this would mirror TLK's admissions. Of course that's got like .0001% chance of happening I'd say, lol.

It's hard to say. We've never seen this weekend in action for a blockbuster before so it's a very unorthodox time to release a movie like this. IM3, TA, and even Thor 2 all opened on much more typical times of years for a blockbusters so it was easier to gauge how they'd perform off of midnights. Anyways, I think anything over 90 is an awesome start for it. Captain America was arguably the least popular of the big heroes following TA so it's an achievement in itself that this movie is out-opening Thor 2.

Hell, I can see a "teaser" with just the damn logo and official title gunning for 100m views.

I'm still subscribed but it's easy to see how much the magazine's quality has been decreasing in recent years. What I find the worst about them is they seem to be running rampant with writers who are insanely biased and can't report on anything without their biases interfering. Then again, I guess that's what happens when you don't actually pay your writers.
