Nov 22-24 #s CF: $158,074,286 actual | Dark Knight triumphant after all

Yeah, I had a feeling the OW numbers would be disappointing, considering how explosive the first movie was on opening. It was always going to be difficult to match or exceed that.

 

That said, those are still great numbers and nothing to sneeze at.

67.5 million is actually good. If it had made 60 million or something then that would be cause for concern.

I like Catnip Floppereen.

One thing this performance does is, we need to look closer at all future possible sequels to all-time blockbusters and be cautious, can it repeat it's success again.

[CoolioD1]

It's gonna be a repeat of this but bigger when Star Wars opens.

Of course it will.

 

People are already calling 150m+ for SW7, (which is pyhsically impossible).

TA 2 sub IM3 

At this point (or always), TA2 has more chance to decrease than increase, OW. TA OW was too big that sequel has no where to go but down.

Hopefully not or I might have an aDIM or Futurist type of meltdown. 

[Lordmandeep]

Man if TA2 does sub 200 million I would be rather sad. 

 

Its gigantic but if TA2 does not touch TA nothing will

In your dreams. Every blockbuster will be associated with crazy predictions no matter how many previous blockbusters taught us otherwise.

I disagree. TA1 made over $100m in its second weekend because there were a lot of people who tried to see it on opening weekend and couldn't due to sellouts. Bigger screencount in 2015 will satisfy the demand easier on opening weekend, allowing for an even bigger opening.

I like your thinking but I don't see a massive jump in screen count in 1.5 years. One benefit for TA2 is market will be completely empty when it opens so screen count of 13 maybe 14K is possible on OW but after what happened here, I'm going to remain cautiously optimistic.

If that happens there's gonna be hundreds of pages in that friday #s thread in a matter of hours.

That would greatest failure ever.

Screencount jumped 1,200 in just a year between TA1 and IM3. If that happens again in 2014 and 2015, you are looking at a screencount of 15,400 for TA2.

 

I do think it'll be more frontloaded than TA1 and probably will gross less in the domestic market. SM2 set some box office records when it came out, was praised as the best superhero movie ever, and still dropped almost $30m from SM1's domestic total.

TA2 will increase because of the TA effect.

[baumer]
