Weekend Numbers: GOTG - 94M (PG 180) [25.5M Sunday (Spatula) Cancel the Godzilla legs!]

[Kvikk Lunsj]

An argument can be made for fifteen.

No I am thinking 17.23%

[Mango]

I'm so happy Guardians is breaking out.

[Poseidon]

I'm sorry, but if Guardians hits less than 40, it will be a big WTF. This shouldn't be frontloaded. I'm thinking mid 40s...

 

Watchmen-Run coming.

[RobinHood26]

I just now saw the numbers form last night. Im on page 2, i have a lot of catching up to do but HOLY FUCK the first true shocking number of the summer. 

[mahnamahna]

What are the odds of 50M OD...

25% :ph34r:If it breaks out tonight, maybe. Would need 39 million today + 11 million in previews. Right now, I'd say keep expectations low otherwise we start thinking 350+ is reasonable (including me)

[Aplandg]

Just got back. I loved it! Thoroughly entertaining with great characters/cast. I approve of it getting the biggest OW of the summer and year so far.

[Kvikk Lunsj]

After how this is performing it is shocking that Thor 2 did not do bigger numbers.

350m is the floor, I think this can open to 145m and leg its way past IM3

It's happening for sure!

[grey ghost]

Not really. It was only an ok film and the advertising wasn't that great.

Apparently you have a short memory. Maleficent says hi to you. 

 

Wake me up if someone like Aniston can carry a movie with 700m + in the BO, then we can talk. Assuming someone in Hollywood will offer her anything major. 

1-The movie has more to do with things like that than the stars.    All her movies don't do that.

 

2-Here's the real test of who is relevant.      http://www.maxim.com/hot100/2014    It does indeed appear that Jolie is done....not even on the list.   Scarjo though...she's right up near the top.

 

And now I have to go to work....lol...now you can all vent without me around.

 

But if this didn't have Marvel's name I doubt a film about a green assassin, an earthling, a talking tree and talking raccoon would really appeal to the masses.  But put Marvel on it and people flock to it....see what I did there...flock....have a good night.  

I don't think it's a big factor for me.   I'm a much bigger Pixar fanboy and I still did not like Cars, Ratatouille, or Brave....didn't even bother with Cars 2.   Spider-Man is also my favorite character and that doesn't stop me from hating SM3 and ASM2....like real hate.

 

With Marvel I'm "meh" about TIH and Cap 1.   I also sat through the first third or so of GotG and was becoming convinced I wouldn't like it....the last 2/3 or so sold me on it.

 

You may be right about some people...but Marvel had to earn that....it wasn't given to them.    It was probably that way with the Beatles in the late 60s.   I'm sure a lot of people were eager to buy their albums just because it had "The Beatles" on the cover.

It should have at least done a 90m OW. The marketing was not that bad it was pretty decent and better than most November movies expect Catching Fire.

Um not so sure about that.

[Killimano3]

Thor wasn't very well received so it's not that surprising it fell apart so fast. At least it managed 200 million which was good.

[Robertron]

Holy shit fuck. What the actual fuuuuu....k?

[AdamKendall]

Um not so sure about that.

Everyone was banking on the Thor/Loki to bring in both the guys and girls ... and worldwide it did the job as it performed comparable to Cap 2, etc ... but in the US, it just didn't get the big bump.  It's possible being in November with Hunger Games a few weeks later didn't help ... but it was obvious after 2 weeks that it wasn't going to go 250+.

I was not expecting 11.2m. That's just incredible.
