$185-200m ain't happening, but $165-175m is. So you're wrong, but not really wrong like some thought (hoped? ha).So am I gonna be right or wrong or is it to early to tell???

Someone said wait for 2015, he asked what's to look forward to next summer (2014), as in he doesn't want to wait 2 years for another epic ow, etc.He said 2015. That's not next summer. Or am I in an alternate universe?

Swishing and dishing by fishing.Hello, Mods, why is this thread derailed by some irrelevant sports chatter? You guys raised a huge stink over derailment that was movie-related and this boring shit is allowed to go on? This convo is BORING AS FUCK! Worst derailment ever! Derailments are supposed to be fun but this Kicks vs Licks or whatever is a snooze.
-
While I would prefer a $55-60m od (so my $155m ow is accurate), I think it's way too early to say it won't hit $60-65m+. I'll wait for the midnight eastern update.
-
Yeah Sunday drop will be below 30%...
This will have more famalies compared to IM2.
It will def have more families compared to IM2, but no where near as much as TA. Trailers and marketing have been extremely dark compared to TA and the loss of all the other characters won't drive family business close to TA.

Guys, is my 153m prediction still possible?
of course...likely, eh not sure.
-
But we're also not even talking about midnights anymore. More than likely, the majority of the money came from 9pm shows.
I agree about the Saturday increase from Friday sans previews.
I expect a 2-1 split, $10m previews, $5m midnight.

I still don't buy that it's completely related to Aurora. This gives the studios more money upfront because they get a bigger cut of the opening weekend gross. It's debatable as to how much it really adds, but, it's an advantage for them to do it this way. Hopefully exhibitors push back if they try to start opening any earlier.
It's only completely related to Aurora in that Aurora just gives studios the excuse to start at 9pm on Thursday and count it towards Friday/OD/OW.

Ok I'll get this out of the way first...I hated, hated, hated the twist. I hate bullshit bait and switch like that, especially after 6 months of marketing and hype of Kingsley being a great Marvel/IM villain, etc, etc. In fact while watching that scene when Tony finds "Mandarin" I was hoping the whole time he was tricking Tony ala Leo with Hanks in catch me if you can...but no, he was a stupid actor and Killian was the real Mandarin and it sucked. Kingsley was really funny during the reveal and watching the soccer game, etc. but I was still really annoyed he wasn't the badass villain we were shown in previews and promised (and some review blurbs said, which was also bs, where they talking about Killian or just that Kingsley was so funny??)But having said that, everything up to that point was really good, and everything after was good too, so I still liked it a lot as a whole. It does have a completely different feel than the other two movies, which is understandable as it's a new director, but I guess I didn't expect such a different feel (especially after having just watched the first 2 and TA within the last few days). It was really funny though and the action was great (especially the attack on Tony's mansion and the final battle with all the suits) and it was a very well done movie. The after credits scene with Banner was also great. I also thought Tony fought and spent way too much time out of the suit though, ala the similar complaint of Bale being out of the Batman suit too much in TDKR.I will definitely be seeing it another time or two though (probably today again actually ha) so I expect to like it more the second time now that I know and can expect the twist. I like it better than the second (though not the huge gap others have expressed), but def not as much as IM1 or TA.B/B+Other IM grades for comparison:IM1: ATA: A/A-IM2: B-

Did anyone make a IM3 over TDKR OW club? That may have been interesting.
Yes that will be extremely close
-
We should strive to call them 'previews' rather than 'midnights' now.
I would say many of us do call them previews and not midnights, as Gitesh's posts do.
Edit: actually he just says THU night
-
$15m is an excellent #, if expected. It's funny how so many of us on this site being good at predicting #s sometimes makes finding the actuals out somewhat a little boring...OW looks to be heading to an amazing $160m-ish, but since that was a very popular prediction, it lessons it a tad.

Rama and Bro vs. MAD DOG - "The Raid" (2011)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VKPQMU9lU3Q
This is the right answer right here.
I'd also like to submit some Tony Jaa action from The Protector:
Bone breaking scene (insanity starts at 1:45):
(just saw this was on the second page but whatever, it's still that awesome
)and the staircase fight, which is particularly impressive because it was one continuous shot. I unfortunately can't find a good clip of it on youtube, except for this shitty 240p version:

Man of Steel OVER Iron Man 3 Domestic
http://forums.boxoffice.com/index.php?/topic/9749-man-of-steel-over-iron-man-3-domestic/?hl=steel
Man of Steel Over Iron Man OW and DOM ClubThis is the OS thread though, I thought you meant WW. (Not that dom was that realistic at all, but ww was impossible).
-
At this point, I won't be shocked if it passes Titanic or Avatar...
Passing Avatar is impossible...passing Titanic on the other hand can't be so easily dismissed (I could see it getting real close with like $1.3-4m os and $600m dom).
Edit: I was using the updated Titanic ww gross after its 3D re-release, it could definitely beat Titanic's first run.

Anyone still think MoS gonna be bigger than IM3 ?
No one thought that

Hopefully this means that Planet Hulk (or whatever that stand alone Hulk movie was called) is back on the table and will happen.This is by far the most brilliant strategy in movie history.

Yeah, this number is pretty mind blowing. In relation to Thor and CA2, if you want something to fall back on with your theory/thought, I think there is a big benefit of IM3 being the first movie after the TA (therefore getting a bigger TA effect), and IM3 had 2 prior huge hits ($300m+ dom), where the others only have 1 each that didn't even hit $200m.I guess I was the only one on the board who didn't get it and still doesn't. I really thought the Avengers was a shot deal. It's a film that had never been done before and it worked brilliantly. I really didn't see the spillover for IM alone. But now that it has proven me wrong, I think my predictions for Thor and even CA2 will go up, way up.This number is mind blowing.
