BadAtGender Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Well Kong didnt have Xmen 2014 and Spidey to deal with..Still I think Godzilla can make to 300M .. We will see. As for WW... KK is done like dinner.The gap could be epic!! Really? I don't think it's guaranteed that Godzilla beats KK WW. And even if it does, I doubt it'll be an "epic gap". If it does so, it will be almost entirely from earning more than the $22m KK got in China + Russia. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalel009Shel Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 I don't think it's guaranteed that Godzilla hits 90m, either. Spidey barely got to that mark, and it had smaller previews. Heard the same thing with SM guranteed to beat Cap 2.... I think the people are showing what they want to see and if folks going back and forth to see this paying 10-20.00 a ticket is any indication, 100+M could be coming. All things are possible, but nope not a lock until we see those Friday- Sat numbers. I think they will be enormous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Craig Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Prime is also considered an AMerican Icon, but his creations didnt stem here either for that matter. The characterization of Optimus Prime is indeed an American one. The mold, the toy, was created in Japan yes, but it was just a toy on a shelf with no identity. Marvel Comics came along and under Jim Shooter w/Dennis O'Neil & Bob Budiansky in conjunction with Sunbow(creators of the cartoon) gave Character, Identity and Individualism to a simple flat nosed Freightliner FL86 thus was born Optimus Prime. They also did the other original TF's. Prime is as American an icon as they come. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalel009Shel Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 just those art house pushovers - narnia and potter Well folks choose what they want more.. Show me the stats. I dont rem KK being in no direct competition with Potter or Narnia. All of them sheduled their releases carefully.. The reception for the corny 3rd act just didnt register with movie fans A2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Craig Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Really hoping that 60% drop for ASM2 isn't right or else 200 is going to be an uphill battle. Was hoping for a 48% drop :/. All signs pointed to at minimum a 50% drop for TASM2. Have you been following along this whole time and still were hoping against logic for a 48% drop?! Fascinating.

RyneOh1040 Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Kind of funny to see Nikki being the one reporting numbers sub 75 for the weekend. She's always overshooting. Maybe she's on downers tonight instead of uppers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If all signs pointed to a potential 50% and i wanted 48% that 2% is hope. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol Japan, China, Austraila, UK , and more will see to that Damien...I see Godzilla earning at least 200-300More and on the highend of the spectrum doubling Kong WW. And they didnt spend 350+M on Godzilla either lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalel009Shel Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 It would be a good idea for any competing film company to either cancel any film coming out in 2016 or move them to 2017...I wouldn't want to go up against Juggernaut. BKB and others here still doubt James Cameron to their peril...You and I dont need to be clairvoyant to know James Cameron is going to be in the number 1, 2 , 3 all time likely domestic and almost a lock WW..lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
