Still sticking with 400 M. - BKB

If the OW are big enough I don't think they will. A 250M OW for AOU would need slightly under a 2.5X and with no competition as of now 2.6X could be lowballing it. 

You talk about a 250m OW like it's bound to happen.  It's 250m!

Marvels Studios next films Cap 2 and GOTG look much better than this years offerings.

It could happen with a 4500 tc and 12000 screens. Okay make it 225M and it will need a 2.7X better?

I dont see 250m happening. 3d is waning and average ticket price has gone down bcos of that. I think its ow will be around avengers OW. Plus novelty wont be there and so I dont see legs close to avengers. I would say 200/500 for now with decent reception.

[grey ghost]

Exactly.

 

What thoroughly befuddles me is why some of the Loktards STILL try to sugarcoat this humiliating failure.

 

Human nature never ceases to amuse me.

Yeah, a c-level superhero like Thor making Superman money worldwide is such a huge failure.

Disney will have at least 4 MCU franchises pulling in over 500 m each. They must be kicking themselves for buying Marvel right now.

[baumer]

400m is never a given for anything.  People were predicting that for The Hobbit, which failed and Toy Story 3 which barely made it over.

 

There's a difference between the Hobbit and SW.  The Hobbit failed to meet the lofty expectations of it's predecessor where as the prequels exceeded that of its predecessors (unadjusted of course).  SW already has the precedent set.

If Thor 2 somehow doesn't manage to win next weekend, then it can genuinely be embarrassed.

Best Man Holiday would have to seriously over perform.

[Noctis]

Nothing is opening next weekend. It will win by defaultDo we have an official Friday yet?

That can happen if "The Best Man Holiday" opens to "Think Like a Man" numbers.

You think Mr. Anderson is easy to be waken up ? 

[A Marvel Fanboy]

What is even "The Best Man Holiday"  ? It will big ?? 

[keysersoze123]

DH? Huh?

The final chapter of the SW saga and the return of Darth Vader wasn't able to crack 400m. I wouldn't be too surprised if SW7 "only" manages to make 450m.

No meltdown here, that's actually pretty good.  So if it gets a 20% bump today, minus thursday, it should do close to 29 for Saturday.
