Angelina Jolie is in the lead, she's a way more popular actress than Charlize Theron.

 

Plus Snow White had K-Stew sleeping with the director. Or did that come after the movie was released?

[lab276]

releasing in April is only good if Easter falls during the month. Otherwise there is no point

Generally yeas, but if you release something like Cap, it wouldn't matter.

[#ED]

Bullshit!

It's true. It's true. It's damn true.

[a2k]

To see how much effect TA had on CA2, just look at the opening. Give CA2 it's credit when it comes to legs, but it opened big everywhere. Huge, if you factor in the mixed wom that CA1 got. There's no denying TA played a big role.

95M OW proves that April is the new May? I'm confused. I don't see anymore Marvel movies scheduled to open in April. Let's not forget Cap 2 got an April release date because May was completely taken.

 

What are you arguing? Can you quote some posts? Looks like you're taking things out of context.

I think Cap 2 proved it doesn't matter what month MCU movies open in, except for perhaps the Jan-Feb and Sept-Oct dead zones.

I'm stating that April still isn't as good as May.

Oh I give it some credit but what happened with Thor 2? Explain that.

Okay but that was only stated as sarcasm. It wasn't meant to be a true statement.

Well, Thor 2 wasn't that great.

 

Obviously, there was a discrepancy in quality between the Thor and Cap sequels.

I think CAP2 will still open $95M in Feb or the coldest week of January

I think the point is, we can't say "Cap 1 was so good that Cap 2 blew up".

Well I'm talking about the openings.

Of course it is isn't. But it is still a great time to open a movie if Easter is in late April.

CA2 over-performed, but yeah - it's disingenuous to think of it as merely a sequel to the 370m grossing CA. 

 

Apart from it being a good movie, Marvel can be credited with releasing it in April. It's like they knew big releases in subsequent weeks would sputter.

Nobody is saying that. Nobody.

Thor 2 opened big too. Didn't have good legs (am giving credit to CA2 for it's quality and legs). Also CA1 was small overseas probably because it seemed very america specific. But TA gave CA a new image globally. So it had more room to grow than Thor 2 which already did well os with the Thor 1.

So why don't you agree that It's a sequel to a movie that made 1.5B?

I'm semi-fucked in the SOTM.

Almost everyone has May 27 as the answer.

In my area, a lot of the Hispanic families are going to that one. In Florida alone, Hispanics make a large part of our population.
