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

[ecstasy]

Thor 2's number must be that boring

 

Actually they are. Nothing left to talk about.

[CaptainJackSparrow]

Remember guys, Thor was only in the Avengers for a puny 25 minutes.

[Noctis]

Yeah coming from THG fanboys. Really not that anticipated.

 

In no order:

VII

AOU

Batman vs Superman

Iron Man 4

JPIV/Bond 24/ID4-2

 

THG fanboys? Aren't you the [mod edit] that predicted $850m for ST2? Over 900m for Thor 2? And countless others. 

 

And you're the biggest Star Wars and Marvel fanboy. 

 

BATMAN VS SUPERMAN, JURASSIC PARK, INDEPENDENCE DAY 2 MORE ANTICIPATED THAN MJ2?! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

The same could be said of Marvel fanboys thinking their movies are 'most' anticipated.

 

I guess we then need to define what we're really measuring if we're saying 'anticipation'. Are you guys saying whatever makes the most is deemed 'more anticipated'?

Neo is definitely not the biggest Star Wars or Marvel fanboy here

What are you expecting for Saturday and Sunday?

About $28.7m for Saturday, $20.3m for Sunday. Maybe a bit more on Sunday due to Veteran's Day on Mon.

 

Lol! I hope it doesn't top DH2's overseas gross. But I think it might. Am I the only one who thinks it can? 

 

Very possible with a good movie. Might have a shot at $1 billion alone from U.S. and China combined by then.

 

Episode VII will make money, there's no doubt about that. But with the prequels there is reason to be hesitant about the film's quality and Abrams certainly has his detractors.

 

Decent opening for Thor. The Marvel machine keeps chugging along.

 

The only thing I disagree with here is that the quality of the prequels really have no bearing on the quality of the new film(s). Different director, different writers, different cast. It's not going to look or feel anything like that prequels and I'd bet everyone involved from top-to-bottom at Lucasfilm and Disney will make sure of that before and during marketing.

 

That said... I do agree it's always to be cautious. Being different from the prequels doesn't inherently mean it'll be a masterpiece.

 

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.

 

I think the big difference with Star Wars, though, is the massive family/kiddie appeal. Trek has never had that, and while LOTR had some, it wasn't/isn't nearly as much as SW.

Oh i agree but why in this thread?

 

Discussing the perils of overpredicting, I guess

Will SW7 even be in the top 3 WW of 2015 ?

 

Lol. dont be so sure.

[rainbowtrout]

lol, I love Nikke.     

Love Nikki's website teaser with the blood running down!

[Goffe]

Like Tele said though ... IM3 was probably a 15 million (maybe as much as 20) increase OW from Iron Man 2 if you remove 3D.  Not HUGE bump ... no different than the bump this seems to have gotten.

and that bump was mainly due to the excellent marketing

[K1stpierre]

Not every person that saw The Hunger Games is crabing on what happens next .

Most are though, and DVD sales should suggest a much bigger surge this time around.

Yes

[Chewy]

[Cmasterclay]

LOL@ JP IV, ID-4 2, or another fucking Iron Man solo film being more anticipated than the final Hunger Games movie, and I say that with JP 1 and Independence Day as two of my favorite movies ever made. MJ 2 is going to be fucking massive- with a DH2 like finale increase, it could do 450+. I am willing to bet (literally bet) that it does 100 million more than the beloved Hobbit 3.
