Well said, man.

Too bad it isn't a better movie than Cap2.

 

Most people will like it more than Cap2 especially those who love animation style of humour and story telling. It's very funny and the pacing was so great that there won't be any boring or slow moment.

 

I can see how GOTG can be the most accessible one out of all SH movies this year. Marvel did know their audience well.

 

So you watched the film in Australia?

[KATCH-2D2]

For now many people think it's better than Cap2.Given I loved Cap2 I can't wait to see this

Because a lot of people prefer action comedy to action thriller.

 

As I said people who just want to have a good time and good laugh without any real tension or danger are going to have such a fun ride watching GOTG.

[KATCH-2D2]

So you watched the film in Australia?

I sure did.

[alee7915]

I sure did.

Me too. I am currently in the UK.  I watched it on Thursday.  

[KATCH-2D2]

Lucky there are advance previews in Australia. Otherwise I would have to wait for 1 week.

Me too.

 

It's not better than Cap2, but it's more fun than Cap2. 

Yes.

 

Cap 2 is more geared to an adult audience only and could even be too violent for young kids.  I love it a lot but i wouldn't have watched it with a young kid as i am sure many of them, especially little girls could have been turned off by the violence.  

 

I haven't seen GOTG yet as it opens on August the 13th in Belgium, but it looks, sounds like the perfect summer movie.

 

A quirky colorfull space opera with weird creatures, full of escapism, heart, humour and lighthearted.  

 

That's the perfect family movie during the summer vacay.  It has all the ingredients to break out in Europe during that period of the year where everyone is relaxed, people are hollidaying with kids and just want to chill and have a great time with the entire family at the theaters

That's why Cap2 is better, I tend to not like any movies that little girls would enjoy.

 

And you're right, the movies that kids can enjoy watching seem to do a lot better because watching a movie with the whole family is a better experience for most people. GOTG is a perfect movie for that experience.

South Korea OD120,903 admissions, its better than Thor 2 despite way bigger competitions.

Wow.

[kayumanggi]

This making more than THOR and CAP in many places is just INSANE. I'm shocked.

[Peeta Tong Karanasios]

I believe that it will make $543 million worldwide!

It's way too low.

[Peeta Tong Karanasios]

It's way too low.

I don't think so.

     

It has no chance to pass Cap 2 or Maleficent.

I don't think so.

It has every chance to do that It's already starting better than Cap2 in the UK and Russia for example. I know you're happy about Maleficent but that doesn't prevent you from being objective.

I believe that it will make $543 million worldwide!

How ?

 

It is outpacing CATWS in the foreign front taken as a whole for the same markets, at the same point.  

 

It means that so far it is on par to reach at least $450M foreign (of CATWS) if the tendency confirms itself during the next weeks which i think it will because of the  movie being more family oriented and less violent than CATWS.  

 

It will drive adults but also, a lot of families with small kids of both genders.

 

Domestically, it is opening around CATWS in a month where dailies are higher.  So it could pull off $250M domestic.

 

This movie is shaping like a $700+M ww baby.  At least those are the early tendencies.

It's fallen far behind Thor 2 now - it did less than half Thor's Saturday (and 1/3 of CA2).  Looks like a $4.5m Thu-Sun opening

So it was pretty frontloaded there as well? That's not a good sign.
