Tues #s RTH

Recommended Posts

Multis these days tend to be worse than six years ago. IM3 has a better excuse I reckon. Had it been received like SM3, it would've been even closer to Twilight but probably not less than 2.

 

I agree. If IM3 had SM3 WOM then it would have tanked 70% in the 2nd weekend.

So IM3 and SM3 have almost the same legs.

 

No doubt.

 

I see a lot of freaking out about movies legs, daily grosses, tickets sold e.t.c but frankly, I'm not bothered by that.

 

If a movie can double or triple its budget internationally (taking into account advertising costs),then I think we're all good. 

 

I'm a DC fan but there's no way one can somehow spin Iron Man 3 into some kind of failure. Even if its domestic legs weren't at TDK or Avengers level, $1.2bn WW is spectacular. The box office is a global game now (as I'm not even in the U.S) and IM3 did fantastic business WW.

Yep, SM3 would have a 2.0 or worse if it came out today. It benefited a lot from Twitter not really being a factor, plus Facebook hadn't expanded anywhere near as much (it was only 3 years old at the time). And in general, movies keep getting more and more frontloaded because the screen counts keep increasing on opening weekends.

What are the overseas #s looking like for Supes anyway? Friend told me it could hit $500M.

Unclear at the moment about 500M. Need to see how it'll open this week in some major markets and the holds in others. I think 400M is certain. Edited by Sam

if not for RDJ, IM would't even have sequels (let alone TA)

Yeah, without Kevin Feige RDJ's career would have ended, and if my aunt had balls she'd be my uncle, if not for Raimi, SH movies would be in the tank, if not for Nolan, DC movies would be worthless. Whats the point here? there are multiple factors that go into this thing

 

Stop making all these snide,backhanded compliments..lol. it just kinda makes you look bad, especially considering the fact that this is the 5th biggest movie of all time we're talking about

LOL who cares about a freakin' multiplier? IM3 crossed the 400m. Last I checked that's a lot of freakin' money and quite an accomplishment no matter how you spin it.

 

Haters gonna hate.  But it doesn't even matter. It's in the books.

 

DEAL WITH IT!

The door swings both ways. 

 

His current success was because he was selected to play IM, which is a testament to the film makers vision IMO.

 

I mean, how many people in their right minds would have pushed for RDJ to play the lead role in a $100M movie featuring a B-list Marvel superhero?  Heck, I would argue the only reason he got that role was because Marvel were producing the movie. If Iron Man were made by a bigger studio, you would have seen a bigger name actor get the role.

 

In RDJ (as at 2007) We're talking about an actor that had well documented legal issues and substance abuse problems, who had never anchored a blockbuster movie and a career that had gone down the toilet.
