My favorite Marvel movie. Blew me away. No this is not post-theater high, they did literally everything right for me. This time last hear, I barely knew the Guardians even existed, now theyre one of my favorite teams.

 

I can see that by you avatar change.  

 

And I would like this post except for that damned quota

Well, Marvel, welcome to the frontloaded club (by product of aging a big fan base)But still, awesome, impressive numbers. Go Guardians.

Not just Marvel. This has happened to all of the blockbusters with Friday previews.

[#ED]

Most likely if the 11.2m previews deflated the Friday then Saturday will increase from Friday without previews.

I'm trying to find an example to compare but nothing really comes to mind when we start talking increasing without previews(July/August).

This hitting 80M will just give us another 215-230M movie.

Or less dependiing how big TMNT is .

Yeah I reached the quota too, I dont like it. But whoop whoop its the sound of tha police, so Im about to post my thoughts in the GOTG thread. As for the numbers, sucks to see it go down, this thing deserves a gazillion dollars, but considering the average predicts from us, analysts, everyone was like $60M's, and considering the movie is "original" and stars a tree and raccoon set in space, which is outlandish when you think about, $90M's is perfect.

If Godzilla hit $93M, this ain't hitting $80M

Marvel created this series in 2008. It is not long running. They had another GotG series, but that was different. This is practically a new series as far as comics are concerned.

 

That's like saying STAR TREK is totally new because it's different from the original series. Again, I'm not making any claims or statements about the quality of the movie.

My prediction was $100M.

Nope 2014 is determined to give us another 90M 99M OW

different time of year. Godzilla also will be way more frontloaded.

Saturday should increase (minus previews). More like 

 

36m

28-29m

22-23m

[Godzilla]

Fri - $39M Sat - $33M Sun - $25M OW - $97M

[Jandrew]

My prediction was $100M.

I said "average", but congrats on being an outlier and risk taker.

What's the indication of an increase on Saturday? I can agree to 26M or so, but increasing 4M to 29M?

Pretty much all Marvel movies (and even most blockbusters this summer) have increased on Saturday (minus previews, of course).

That would be twice as large as the biggest saturday decrease experienced by a MCU film. Is that good enough reason for you? The average decrease is about 8-10% yet your prediction is 31%

Well 2013 would be the only year that would have been affected. So you won't find an example. Previews weren't a thing for Blockbusters before then.
