kayumanggi Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 (edited) There's no question IM3 made a ton of money, especially overseas. But CF's run is more impressive (for me). Especially since it's in 2D. We might never see a 2D film win a year again. Edited February 16, 2014 by kayumanggi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceroll Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Admissions wise, CF did destroy IM3. IM3 would have made just a bit more than IM1/IM2 if it was in 2D. Also quality wise IM3 was annihilated by CF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kayumanggi Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Well to be fair not those exact words. But here's this. Did Fast 6 destroy STID at the box office? Did Skyfall destroy The Hobbit? Would people even say those things? People use flop and destroy so randomly these days. lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The domestic numbers are more impressive to me. But no way am I turning my nose up at 1.2b ww either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would people even say those things? Worldwide FAST 6 did destroy STID. No question. SKYFALL made barely 1m more than TH1 domestically. I think that's a bit different than CF v IM3, but I agree that SKYFALL's run was more impressive than TH1's as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do people throw that term around for those movies for the domestic box office like they do for CF and IM3? The answer is no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wileECoyote Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 LOL Whatever. At least the IM3 vs CF seems a pretty mild debate as the typical fanwars. I find IM3's BO run very impressive behind Frozen, Gravity, and CF. Nothing wrong with 1.2BWW 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJohn Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 (edited) March could be a downer though. We'll see. 300, Need for Speed, Mr Peabody & Sherman and Divergent are huge wild cards. I think the safest bet is Noah. Edited February 16, 2014 by CJohn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jessie Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 (edited) Take off the 3D surcharges and IM3 didn't gross much more than CF globally, if more at all.If you take off the 3D surcharge, it would still be over 900M WW, probably about 1 billion, so there is still a huge difference.I don't see the relevance in this anyway. IM3 is a comic book movie which are a proven draw in Hollywood, THG is a completely different genre and the highest grossing film of its kind we've had so yeah, IM3 did sell more tickets no matter how you spin it but in no way does that make CF's and less impressive.

Had no idea it was creeping up on 1b ww. I don't even know if DM2 passed a billion. Now I have to go check on mojo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
