Sad weekend (past couple of weekends actually) for the movie industry. But again, make shitty quality/reviewed movies (Apoc, tmnt2, BvS, Alive2, etc), get shitty box office results. The real shame is when good quality/reviewed movies still do poorly...The Nice Guys

Yup...well at least domestically.

I've always been in the camp that says quality of a movie, reviews and wom can affect as early as an ow, here's two more examples. Times have changed and people know before day 1 if a movie sucks and they don't go see it ow anymore. Apocalypse should have benefited from the great DOFP, it didn't because it sucks (I saw it Thurs night, what a disappointing mess) . And Alice2 sucks and the shitty first one did it no favors even though that garbage original did $1b ww. If TMNT2 has decent to good reviews it will over perform and have a better ow than the first. (and yes, yes, I know there are other factors like marketing, etc and trailers for both Apocolypse and Alice2 weren't good either, etc.)

Uh now eventually you do plan to have numbers on your, on your numbers thread, right?

lol at that title change, love it.

You really need to start replacing the words I think with I want.

Yeah I don't understand those saying it won't beat Deadpool.

Come on now...that's like saying Creed isn't a Rocky movie, it's a Creed movie. It has Captain America in the title but there's 10+ Avengers in the movie, etc, etc.

Happy Marthar's Day!

But this isn't really a sequel to just WS...as many of us have stated already, it's really Avengers 2.5 or 3. But it's a massive OW and only seems less such because many got nuts with their $200m+ predictions, etc.

Was there an over/under on what page BKB finally loses it on? He'll crack on Sunday when he realizes CW "only" made $10m more than BvS ow.

I think part of the issue is, while it's a good superhero movie, it offers nothing new from Avengers 1, 2 or really even WS. Marvel has a formula for making these MCU movies and outside of GOTG or IM3 they haven't deviated much from it.

Is BKB ok??

Maybe 2 and 3 combined.

How is it only getting $160-170m off a $25m preview #...please show us that Fri-Sun breakdown.

Yeah I know, I'm just pointing out the use of word of Avenger in the poster.

more like slowclock

They use (first) Avenger in international posters: http://www.comicbookmovie.com/captain_america/captain_america_civil_war/captain-america-is-unmasked-in-a132515 Just saying

lol I thought you upped it to $190 or something??

It's Avengers 2.5 (or 3)...you know it, I know it, we all know it, the world knows it.

Great start...feeling good about my $195m ow prediction.

Yeah I def expected something by now :/
