Now wait for Catching Fire to open to 135M.

We go through this dog and pony show on OW with Marvel movies. Both TA and IM3 were severely underreported early. TA started the Rth's legend and IM3 jumped well over 10M on Friday alone from early numbers.

Lol this forum has short term memory loss..The ta and im3 opening days ranged from 62-80 and 58-70

hope people are joking with the "flop" comments lol thor is a d-list superhero. I'm still surprised he has a film franchise

 

A D list superhero wouldn't have his book last 377 issues.

I don't think money was every an issue with RDJ for IM.  I just don't think he wants to make anymore superhero movies.  He made something like 70 mill for Avengers and I think another 50 for IM3.  So I don't think money is the issue with him, it's just lack of interest.  I don't think many people in Hollywood are as money hoarding as Will Smith.

 

As for Thor, if it goes over 80, it's pretty good but if it doesn't, imo it's a little weak.  It's a good increase but I think a lot of us were expecting at least 90 mill.  With THG coming out and this being a sequel, if it misses 80 mill OW, will it still make 200?  If it opens to 75 mill, a 2.5X gets it to 192.5 mill.

MARVEL'S EMPIRE IS CRASHING DOWN. PREPARE YOUR ANUS!

Variety is even less accurate then darling Nikki

[CaptainJackSparrow]

Frozen over Thor 2.

They don't have any more of a reliable source than Nikki does.  They take the numbers that are reported and then extrapolate and add in their own projections.

$88M? RECALCULATE !!!

[Chewy]

Variety always had similar info to Nikki. No one really paid attention because Nikki updated more often and more hilariously

They're worse.They were the morons that thought TA couldn't beat Avatar's 2nd weekend even though it was in fucking May with same Friday as Avatar. TA ended beating their prediction by 30M that weekend.

Saturday is when marvel haters get Butt hurt

I did not predict it, but I had this gut feeling that Thor 2 would underwhelm like Star Trek into Darkness.  STID had predictions that were 'entitling' it to open to huge numbers when no one stopped to look at reality.  Lately, I was always thinking that "it is just Thor.... why so huge?, but I still gave it a 95M OW.  however was THOR really entitled this?

[CaptainJackSparrow]

No film is going to have "Dark" in it now.

[Biggestgeekever]

THGCF OD over Thor2 OW?

Was also going to happen even if Thor 2 reached the high end of expectations.

 

CF OW > Thor 2 total, now there's something to contemplate. 

[Fancyarcher]

Stop making stupid biased predictions.

 

Seriously guys these are only early numbers stop overreacting.
