kitik Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Its an okay number but the real test is this weekend. Also I am starting to agree that Fast Six and Im3 will be the only films do well above expectations this month. I am seeing lots of people predicting the all-time record biggest weekend ever for Memorial Day this year, but I hope that folks realize that even it it breaks the all-time record, there will still be some disappointing numbers that weekend. (Under some folks' predictions at least.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noctis Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 There is no way this movie is hitting $450m. Come on, guys. I think $420m might be achievable, but I'm thinking $415m for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kitik Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 TDKR would be the current goal? That's incredibly optimistic for an $11M monday and all the competition coming out this month. What sort of second weekend are you predicting for that? Seems like it would need just about $90 million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Craig Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Despite the OP quoted number of likely $280m after 10 days I'm going with a full $300m after 10 days at this point. Early word on Gatsby is it's mixed so it may not pull away GA's as once thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitik Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 I'd say Dead Man's Chest That's a bit more reasonable, but with the guaranteed loss of screen counts coming up Memorial Day weekend, I think it'll be more like the Toy Story 3 / Hunger Games range.

blackspider Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 A minor improvement over Rth's estimate last night but still a steeper drop than most of us were expecting. It should stay relatively flat today and let's hope it doesn't crash on Wednesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Les Mis can gross 148M domestically, Great Gatsby will have no problem crossing 100M+. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you have IM3 at after Thursday? 215? I really don't think an 85M second weekend is even remotely possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Tbh, I never even thought this would hit $400m, so the fact it will, comfortably, is still amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackspider Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 300m by Sunday ain't happening barring a 200%+ increase on Friday which would be very tough to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I predicted 405 in the BSG so I would be more than happy with that total. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As disappointing as the Transformers-esque third act of IM1 was, everything up to that point was awesome and I think Stane is still the best villain of the franchise.IMHO:Actually Whiplash aka Vanko in IM2 is a rather classic super villain that you would expect from a comic book. Vanko is Stark's mirror opposite and creative/brainy counterpart (Stane is just a board-room back-stabber). Like Tony, He too was forced to use his knowledge for selfish purpose. In a way, Vanko & Stark kinda stand for the writers, the creative people in H'wood, how sometimes they too get exploited (underpaid, manipulated to write junks) by the suits.The makers of IM2 chose instead to fill IM2 with very boring myth-arc fillers for TA. You should take out the whole Black Widow-Nick Fury stuff, and instead they should flesh out the conflict between Stark & Vanko, focus on their game of one-up-manship. IM3, while the most entertaining of the three for the GA (a lot of comic moments), feels light on the action and super-heroics. It is great to see Tony go MacGyver, but a Marvel movie should focus on the superhero's "super heroic" capability.

Chewy Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Mickey Rourke was terrible in IM2. The last thing that movie needed was more Mickey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
