#ED Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 The first time I saw the trailer with a packed theater, it was met with snickers. I think a lot of people, including me, thought, "Oh boy, another Godzilla movie...what a joke." But the marketing was outstanding. The trailers really made it an event film. That Godzilla roar sold those trailers... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoxOfficeZ Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 But the marketing was outstanding. The trailers really made it an event film. Yup, say what you will about the film, the marketing made the film stand out in this dismal summer. I hope they promote whoever did the marketing at WB/Legendary. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godzilla Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 If it performs like ASM 2 with that Fri #, it'll cross $100M OW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Future Foundation Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Saw Godzilla on Thursday night in IMAX. 10pm screening, almost completely sold out when I got to the ticket window (only got a great seat because someone returned theirs not 5 minutes before I got there). I loved it, the crowd absolutely loved it. The theater actually added another screening @ 1am.I'd heard something in the range of $70 million. I never expected $90+. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Panda Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 I wonder if the Godzilla franchise could become the new Transformers Box office speaking. (Not quality speaking) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baumer Posted May 17, 2014 Author Share Posted May 17, 2014 38.53 means 100m OW is a possibility and I'd say it's a near lock to open above TASM2. This is 100,000,000,000,000% locked to open higher than ASM2. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neo Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 I wonder if the Godzilla franchise could become the new Transformers Box office speaking. (Not quality speaking) Would have been similar OW if TF opened on a Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope they promote whoever did the marketing at WB/Legendary. The ominous music, Cranston's terrified but angry warning to us all about sending us back to the stone age, the skydiving with red flares, the husband telling his wife that he won't be back for quite a while and her teary reaction, the roar, it all made for a perfect tonic. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Marvel Fanboy Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 It should do 250m+ with this OW, which means it will be bigger than TF4 ...... someone's dream just came true. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
druv10 Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 This is 100,000,000,000,000% locked to open higher than ASM2. I think 100M OW is very likely which is astounding. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted May 17, 2014 Author Share Posted May 17, 2014 I'm heading to see TOW again tonight. Taking a female friend who hasn't been the movies in about a year. She asked me what's good. I said, "Not Godzilla." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
