I can't believe I'm being so affected by this. I never expected DH2 to hold on to that third ranking worldwide, especially with The Hobbit. I also strongly believe that TDKR (without 3D) can top DH2 worldwide.

I swear, it's ridiculous how people try to underestimate TDKR's potential on opening weekend.

No. It wouldn't have had a $285m weekend overseas.

Non-Cameron movies...obviously.

Oh, please, how is $91m not possible on opening day? Give me a fucking break.

If Avengers does $800m OS, it would only need $535m DOM to take the worldwide record from Potter.

Spider-Man is a decade old. Ugh, I wanted The Dark Knight Rises to do this to Potter, not The Avengers. If I'd loved The Avengers, this would be so much easier.I need Dr. Phil.

I need some fucking ice cream.

What worldwide weekend?I wish it were TDKR doing it instead of The Avengers. That's what's pissing me off, too.

It's ok if you guys dislike Potter. I'm just saying that in the three and a half years that I've followed box office, The Avengers passing DH2 worldwide is the first time I'll ever feel sadness due to box office.

TA over HP8 worldwide, definitely.How much is Avengers expected to do overseas? $800m?

Yes, because you've seen DH2, right?

I couldn't care less if Potter is beaten domestically, but worldwide? Holy shit, that gets to me personally. Especially since The Avengers is so emotionally hollow.

How much is the Avengers going to end up with? $800m?

DH2: $381m DOM + $953m OSAvengers: $550m DOM + 800m OS

Damn, beating DH2 worldwide is just...ugh.

Wow, this has a decent chance at toppling DH2 worldwide. I'm gutted.

Wow, this is going to beat DH2 worldwide?

I'll start with the positives. It's witty, the dialogue is sharp given proper weight, the interactions between The Avengers was very well written, and the performances are largely fantastic (particularly from Downey, Ruffalo, Hiddleston, and even Scarlett). Some of the action scenes are incredibly well choreographed, and Hulk was really enjoyable. Is it an entertaining film? Yes, for the most part. But it's probably the first record-breaker that's completely hollow. There was absolutely no emotional connection to any of the characters (aside from when RDJ sacrificed himself in the end and almost died), and I found myself to be utterly overwhelmed with the non-stop barrage of action. The fortress collapsing took a significant portion of the film, and I found myself getting bored pretty quickly. There weren't many moments to breathe once the action started. It was undeniably well-choreographed, but really overlong and excessive. B-/B

One of the best films of all time? It's a film that has barely any character development!

I finished with porn ten minutes ago, and I'm also watching Lost.Holy fuck at the coincidence.

Nothing like choking the bishop before going to bed.

Me too.

Oh my God, I forgot!

Ecstasy, check your PM.
