Moviefanatic Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Nice...estimates went up from last night. That 20% drop from last Friday is sexy for GOTG. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
druv10 Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 So beautiful. Marvel officially has a replacement for the IM movies. Who'da thunk it last year? Yep. GOTG has shown that any one of Marvel property done right could be a homerun for Diz/Mar. Next up Antman/Dr. Strange/Inhumans and hopefully BP and Ms. Marvel after that trio.

Ent Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Ray Subers @raysubers 3mGUARDIANS/GALAXY is now the #1 movie of the year in the U.S. Will take 1st place this weekend and next. On track for $305-320m total. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
La Binoche Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 (edited) Guardians will gross around what the first Pirates of the Caribbean did without the benefit of 11 years of inflation, 3D and IMAX surcharges. Not to take anything from Guardians' incredible run. Just puts things into perspective. Edited August 30, 2014 by Boogie Nights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojoguy Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 (edited) Ray Subers' summer forecast prediction for GOTG 7. Guardians of the Galaxy (August 1): This is the first original Marvel Cinematic Universe movie since Captain America: The First Avenger in 2011, and is probably the riskiest of any of the MCU movies so far. The eclectic band of characters has no cultural cache yet, and there's no clear tie-in with the rest of the universe. The attention-grabbing first trailer directly addressed this issue by spending an inordinate amount of time introducing each member, including a gun-toting raccoon and a human man who goes by Star Lord (played by Chris Pratt). There's a possibility that Guardians winds up being this Summer's Pacific Rim—the online hype outweighing general interest—though we're betting it winds up on par with the original Thor.

Spidey Freak Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Yep. GOTG has shown that any one of Marvel property done right could be a homerun for Diz/Mar. Next up Antman/Dr. Strange/Inhumans and hopefully BP and Ms. Marvel after that trio. I hope at least two of Inhumans/Captain Marvel/BP make it on the Phase 3 schedule. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spidey Freak Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Ray Subers' summer forecast prediction for GOTG http://boxofficemojo.com/news/?id=3826&p=.htm Nothing will beat his "Frozen doesn't look as interesting as Tangled/lesser known fairytale" 180M prediction, though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cookie Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 (edited) Ray Subers' summer forecast prediction for GOTG http://boxofficemojo.com/news/?id=3826&p=.htm Ray's forecast has been off all summer. The misses greatly outnumber the hits. Edited August 30, 2014 by C00k13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's kind of strange that the only boxoffice numbers I have any interest in right now are GOTG and Lucy, 2 movies that weren't really expected to have outstanding runs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add in X-men DOFP and those are the only three movies I cared to track very closely. Well I guess I could throw in TF4 China run too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walt Disney Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Ray's forecast has been off all summer. The misses greatly outnumber the hits. It's amazing that with all of the tracking numbers and information about trailer views, it is still difficult to predict what films will be a success and which ones will fail. It's not easy to predict the BO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miketheavenger Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Ray Subers' summer forecast prediction for GOTG http://boxofficemojo.com/news/?id=3826&p=.htm I think at that time most people expected it to land in that range, if not lower.

To be honest he did over predict most films except for maleficent, 22 jump street, TMNT and guardians. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moviefanatic Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 (edited) Subers makes some awful predictions but I think his GOTG guess was pretty fair. On this site, I think only Druv thought this could do 250 million+. The absolute worst prediction I've seen from Ray was his TDKR OS prediction. It was like 850 million...was truly awful.
