Weekend Estimates: Thor TDW 86.1M, Ender 10.25, Free Birds 11.2, Grav 8.4, BG 11.3, Last Vegas 11.1

Bingo. 400M+ grossers dont just run on fanboys/girls. They need GA to take it to that level.

 

True. But it goes even lower. More like $200M and up.

[A Marvel Fanboy]

You know you're spoiled when a sequel increases over 20% and you view it as a terrible disappointment.

Problem is it is ?

 

Thor did 181M in 2011. Will TDW still do 20% more (217m) ?

[AniNate]

GA won't be interested in an original trilogy follow up?

 

They'll be interested, but not to the tune of 500m+ unless it's another New Hope/ESB

[baumer]

Did you do that, or are you just trying to make a point? If you did, congrats. I'm impressed.

 

I think the old SW fans were burned by the prequels. And I think the new ones don't even really know who Luke, Leia and Han are.

 

Yes last summer.  Went from 207 to 175 in about 40 days.  Losing weight is easy if you follow simple programs.

JACKASS PRESENTS: BAD GRANDPA: $3.37M Friday (est) / $70.82M Domestic Total / 3,187 Locations / $1,059 Location Avg. #BadGrandpa

 

Good hold! Does it have a shot for 100m?

[druv10]

I am predicting 110/375 Domestic/1.1BWW at this point. I know its conservative but I want to keep my expectations low(I have stated my reasons couple of pages back).

 

110M OW would be very good but only 375M from there, would be only possible with bad WOM. 2nd weekend is Christmas it's not going to have bad drop and third is inflated by New Years so it would have to completely collapse after New Years to miss 400M.

Star Wars deserves to be over predicted. There is no reason to go low on it

Funnt thing is Trek/LOTR fans said similar things to STID/Hobbit ...

Then you get into the January holidays and hopefully still around for the February ones.

ok  whatever be back later going to see thor 2 at 3pm

Yes because people were predicting high grosses based on realistic things. This wasn't like Pacific Rim where people were over predicting for no good reason

Anyway, f**k the numbers. If SW 7 can hold a candle to the original trilogy in terms of quality, I'll be more than satisfied.

Except Star Trek 2009 and the LOTR trilogy were actually well liked.  The poorly received prequel trilogy will have an effect and people seem to be just ignoring that.

[Dementeleus]

If this thing gets slammed the next 2 weekends, then Tele's joke about it falling under SR unadjusted comes into play. 

What joke?

[A Marvel Fanboy]

Say whatever you want, I am on the side of SW7 locking 400M+ doubters. 400M is no easy for any movie, either that movie is called SW7 or Avatar 2.

[Shawn Robbins]

Heh, glad I shorted Thor's total on HSX. Gonna need that money to make up for going long on the OW ($85m).

[CaptainJackSparrow]

My movie is going to be sooo much better, guys!Expect a 100 + mil OW.By the way guys, I am leaving Marvel to join DC. I want in on some of that Batman/Superman love action

[K1stpierre]

That's not a bad number for Thor2. I just think people are dissapointed that it wasn't as high as they thought. I figured it would of hit at least in the 90's too.

[A Marvel Fanboy]

MEH or underwhelming performance from TDW.

 

However we should not get carried away as if it is the ending of Marvel/CBM Empire. Say no to "TDW will have a negative effect on TWS" before people bring it up !

[kayumanggi]

lol AVATAR ll not making 400 M? You are expecting it to drop 300 M+ from the first?
