Godzilla Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 (edited) I don't think rwviews will mean much when it comes to legs if it opens BIG this weekend. X-Men: First Class has an 87% RT score and it couldn't do 3x multiplier. If it opens $110M 4 Day Wknd, it probably won't do much more than $220M DOM. If it opens $125M, 250M might not even happen. The higher the OW, the worse the legs. Edited May 22, 2014 by Godzilla 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Godzilla Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 What's the weekend looking like for Cap2? Will it lose a ton of theaters?IM3 did just fine when FF6, Hangover 3 and Epic came out. I think both ASM 2 and Cap 2 will be fine this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well IM3 was only in its 4th week. Cap 2 is well beyond that. That's why I asked about theater loss. Not sure if Spidey can sustain another 50%+ drop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Godzilla Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Well Xmen movies have never been known for their legs. But whatever. There's always a first time.I'm just saying there is always a negative to everything. The higher it opens (Which is almost always a good thing) the worse the legs. I just can't see this doubling the OW of First Class and having legs more than a 2.2x, especially when First Class didn't have good legs to begin with.

Sam Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Well IM3 was only in its 4th week. Cap 2 is well beyond that. That's why I asked about theater loss. Not sure if Spidey can sustain another 50%+ drop.IM3 dropped 46% for the 3-day, I think with the way Spidey is doing, it could very well be dropping over 50% for 3-day. Memorial Day will of course help soften the 4-day drop a lot though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well First Class didn't have full support of the fanbase even with the good reviews. That's why it's performance was less than good domestic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if Spidey can sustain another 50%+ drop. Well, he's going to get one. 200m might be a bit closer than anyone imagined, other than baumer of course, but he's delusional anyway so... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfirebird2008 Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Spidey is pretty much dead at this point. It'll slowly crawl to $210m or so. Kind of a boring run all the way around for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This movie should be a dream come true for those people. Think of instead of waiting 16 years to make the prequels, they instead made a prequel Han Solo film in 1986, then a SW prequel like ROTS in 1988, then another Han Solo film set after ROTJ in 1990 and finally Episode 7 in 1991. That's where were at with the X-series, this is the X-Men's Episode 7, albeit with a fraction of the popularity level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfirebird2008 Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 I just realized Spidey is going to sell half as many tickets as SM3. That is kinda shocking. It's barely going to beat the ticket sales of Batman & Robin. Never would have expected the Spidey franchise to drop in ticket sales that quickly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of fans refused to even give it a chance. Stupid Boycotts and just an overall mess. LOL Dark times indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The worst is even with that 121% increase opening over TASM1 in Brazil, it will still end up making less. Same with Hong Kong. Thank God for China though. It had a great increase there.
