fishstick Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Date - August would have been better and people waiting next week for TH3 and F6 Not much to differentiate this from the first, since I also believe novelty is gone 4 years was a little long wait for the GA Nobody gives a fuck about Cumberfuck. Nobody. OK? If you want the real reason look no further. he was the face of the marketing push. Flawless fail. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orestes Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 (edited) No offense, but I swear I don't understand some of you sometimes. There are moments where you complain that 4 years between films is apparently long, but when you get a movie after 2 years you complain it's rushed. You either want a rushed film and wait 2 years, or a good film and wait 4 years. Make your choice already. You must be confused. Ive never complained about 2 years = rushed. I'm not even complaining about 4 years, just offering it as a possible reason for a possible under-performing sequel. Frankly, its too early to know if its under performing or not anyway.

keysersoze123 Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 The Avengers Side Effect: Everything that it's released close to the release date of an Avenger film turns to a flop until at least three weeks have passed. Hmm Gatsby seriously over performed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's because 3 years is the right amount of time. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warmaster506 Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 (edited) The long wait and the release date killed Star Trek. Which sucks because it far better than IM3. Also for Trek 3 if there is one, Abrams needs not to come back. Edited May 17, 2013 by Warmaster506 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishstick Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Hmm Gatsby seriously over performed. Gatsby had great marketing, star power and famous book. Plus perfect counterprogramming. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jandrew Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 I seriously believe you and others are severely overpredicting this. It's just not happen. Both Thor 2 and Hobbit 2 should be above this, and while I don't see MoS breaking $300m DOM, it should certainly do better than DM2. sooo...you don't think DM2 can increase $80M, but you think Thor can? $330M is not overprediction. $300M for Thor is overprediction. I see $240 right now for Thor and I'm being generous. TA effect is not going to happen to every single Avengers film, and the Thor 2 teaser was nothing special. Hobbit 2 isn't increasing either. And DM2 made $543 WW, $700M WW is not out of the question for DM2. When was the last time an animated sequel decreased OS? And with 3D? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gopher Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 If Abrams didn't do Super 8 he probably could've gotten Trek 2 out by 2011/2012. But then he'd probably already be at work on Trek 3 and would've turned down Star Wars... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Stay strong Sam. Hopefully it jumps 150% on Friday. I hope the best for Trek 2 cause of my love ST09, I haven't seen the movie yet. So who knows, I might not like it But I want movies to do well generally save for a few so gotta stay hopeful. I also hope IM3 will jump big today, 160%+ will be hard, but for the sake of BSG, I'm keeping my hope high for that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BiffMan Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Could just be a simple matter of scheduling. My friends and I bought our STiD tickets before the date change happened. Too much hassle to try to reschedule to Thurs whereas we might have been there if that had been the date all along. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
