CA2: $10.2m Thursday Night (beats Thor2's $7.1m) | $100m+ coming?

I really don't see how. It is a total sequel to Cap 1. Have you seen it?

He has a point with marketing, Widow and Fury are featured prominently

With marketing I guess but the actual movie totally related back to Cap 1.

Off topic thread plug. The newest version of "Fact or Fiction" is up, It is a Wrestlemania special with Ed, Seth and CmasterClay. Give it a read here: http://forums.boxoffice.com/index.php?/topic/14393-box-office-fact-or-fiction-wrestlemania-special-edition-w-ed-seth-rollins-and-cmasterclay/

Hmm, that's a good question. My guess is that CA1 just behaved normally since it was nearly identical to Thor's numbers that same summer. It's so hard to compare anything pre-Avengers to these post-Avengers movies.

But isn't CA more popular than Thor in US?

[grey ghost]

So Marvel Studios could have 4 franchises pulling in over 600 m each.

 

Meanwhile at WB: A single MOS sequel with a bunch of Justice League characters thrown in.

In 2011? No, they were both largely unknown characters

[CaptainJackSparrow]

I would assume Captain America does really well with older, conservative people.Also, First Avenger sold more Blue Rays than Thor.

Can we not

TWS is released time to move ahead with P3 and announce the 2016 movies.

No, at least if you went by movies, Thor outgrossed the first Captain America by five million in the U.S.

 

As far as there characters go, I'd say their about equal, cept Thor has the advantage of being based off a mythology god. Captain America was popular during the 40's, but most people growing up, only know him from the cartoons and movies.

They're gonna announce that stuff at comic con

[grey ghost]

Anyway, on a totally related note. It will beat April OW record. Yay

 

It's going to bitch slap the April record and body slam it into a table.

Thor had a higher 3D share so Captain sold more tickets probably

I think a Monkey could be more faster at getting DC characters on the big screen, than any executive at Warner Brothers.

Fact?

Likely.

They're way behind, but the reverse-Avengers strategy may still very well work. Superman vs Batman will be a HUGE draw regardless of many WB fuckups. If the movie's good, I don't see any reason why it would have problems competing with Marvel and spawn solo movies

[Dementeleus]

Aight, if we're just gonna do another Marvel/DC war, then I'm ducking out. LOL.

Yeah, but that would still be just one franchise.

If Cap makes over 300 million (which is total conjecture at this point), who do you think will budge in the Cap 3 and BVS battle?
