Thurs #s 5/29: DOFP 4.9, Godz 1.8, Neigh 1.2 (Rth), Blend 1, AMWTD .9 (spatula) | Happy birthday eXtacy (but not ECSTACY)

fight club rules apply (you don't talk about preview/midnights), but the odd little snipit ok

 

LOL I don't know how many times you have to tell people this.

Cap doesn't care since he already made his money. Steve is laughing all the way to the bank!

 

True. But still.

It's a bittersweet symphony. CA:TWS is getting hurt with all the competition. However, very few people thought it would gross more domestically than TASM2 and DOFP, and right now it looks like it will.

Are you really surprised by this??? X-MEN isn't The AVENGERS with RDJ and Co. that's more deserving of repeat viewing than DOFP apparently...

Ever wonder why X MEN is predominantly European in casting?

McKellen, Stewart are all British. McAvoy is Scottish, Fassbender is German/Irish

Jackman is Australian but his parents are English.

No. No still.

 

That movie can die now as I doubt DOFP will beat CAP2.

Cap2 sucess is only driven because of how big the Avengers was. and this Cap2 movie  was sold as a direct sequel to the avengers (nick fury, black widow and the helicar all on the trailers and posters) so , without that two thing cap2 will be a mess like the first one

Godzilla is looking at another 60% drop unless it gets over a 100% Friday increase.  $200m might be a challenge.

[Blackout]

I hope DOFP's positive WoM will soften the drop over the next few days/weeks.

I don't think a single person would have predicted that CATWS would be the #1 movie of the year when the calendar turns to summer on June 21.

That is because all the X MEN cast can act unlike the Avengers cast only RDJ and ruffalo acted well

I loved the first one. I loved the second one. But, even if you disagree, you can't deny that most people here knew that Nick Fury and Black Widow would be in CA:TWS. Most people here still didn't feel that it would do this well at the BO.

 

However, Sir, I do believe in Dat Avengers Effect.

why are you such a Marvel hater?

I´m not a hater, that is a fact, Thor 2 sold less because it was markted as a total Thor spin-off (no other avengers and not Rs). Cap 1 only grossed 370 WW. in the new movie The GA was more attracted to it because of the good marketing targeting the Avengers fans and more Bj, IMO.

TDW had Loki and that Avengers effect lead to $50m+ less.

 

CA2 had great trailers and marketing, great reviews, great WOM and did repeat business having sub 38% every weekend except the first and when another Superhero movie opened.   In many international markets it opened below TDW and ASM2 and finished equal or higher.

Nah, it's gonna get another 25-30m in weekends and around the same amount in weekdays before it's pulled from theaters.
