Founder / Operator Shawn Robbins Posted December 27, 2012 Author Founder / Operator Share Posted December 27, 2012 2013 looks interesting, especially the summer which I can see out-performing summer 2012 is enough films deliver. Take out Avengers and TDKR and, IMHO, summer of 2012 was disappointing. A bit part of that is because everything in May...well, sucked...and then of course, the market collapsed toward the end of July/early August due to outside circumstances.May 2013, though... watch out. It may not have a $600+m grosser, but it may not need one. 2012's down months could be come 2013's up months, and vice versa. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the holiday season is crazy. I'm confident about 2013 beating 2012. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayumanggi Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Jan-Feb don't look very good. I won't be surprised if we're back thinking about a recession by early March.Then change the tune again in May and June. lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm confident about 2013 beating 2012.What about the rest of the year? See, we kind of fell into this trap with 2011, we were all talking about how awesome the summer was going to be forgetting that the rest of the year counts too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See, we kind of fell into this trap with 2011, we were all talking about how awesome the summer was going to be forgetting that the rest of the year counts too.The same thing happened in 2012 and yet it still broke the record. May, June, November and December are gonna be big. It is for us to see what surprises the other months hold. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Well, with Iron Man 3 blowing away expectations we may be able to catch up to 2012 by the end of the month. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommycruise Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 I think for the most part it is over, every summer month now seems to have a mega success (IM3 for May, MOS and MU for june and Despicable Me for July) and the holiday seasons look exceptionally strong this year. As long as August-October aren't abysmal then I can't see it happening 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lab276 Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Well, with Iron Man 3 blowing away expectations we may be able to catch up to 2012 by the end of the month.The number to beat by then is 542.4. I'll be incredibly optimistic and say 144m for May. But that still only gets 2013 to about 506m. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That seems pretty pessimistic considering we still have Star Trek and Fast opening. Those could combine for more than 150 million on their opening weekends. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lab276 Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 (edited) So May will end up with, by my estimation, 136.7m tickets which makes it the biggest May since 2004. June looks like it's off to a good start too, the overall weekend will be up on last year by maybe 10-20%. I think 140-145m is a good target.

AniNate Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 *Sigh* Bump. Well, we had a pretty good run of two years or so, but it seems the dark times have returned. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lordmandeep Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 (edited) This'll wear off next year. Should wear off 1-2 punch of the extremely wide appeal of Fast Seven and The Avengers. However I think Winter 2014 will be quite impressive but not as big Winter 2013. Edited July 2, 2014 by Lordmandeep 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Looks like it's time to bump this thread again. 2017 is going to finish under 2016 unadjusted and the short-term schedule to open 2018 doesn't look especially promising. With all the franchises that failed and disappointed over the past year and all the off-screen scandals that have kept the industry in the headlines for all the wrong reasons for the past few months, things are looking pretty grim right now.

Lordmandeep Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Nah think IW is gonna be a huge deal ^ The Marvel fanbase has never been in such high spirits since the Post Avenger high in 2012. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MovieMan89 Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 I think 2018 and 2019 will be pretty huge, though I worry about what happens after that since I think the franchise overload bubble could burst come 2020. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
