ecstasy Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Marvel movies are becoming more presale and preview friendly actually. From Thor 2 onwards, previews have started becoming a bigger portion of the weekend take. Ah ok. Thanks for pointing that out. I haven't really been keeping track like that. If its not THG or Twilight then the presales don't really get my attention unless they are constantly throwing it out there like they did for 50 shades.

ecstasy Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 So what number would you put for Kingsman's final domestic gross? $12_ M? (fill in the blank). Depends on theater loss. 124-125m is my guess if it loses a lot of theaters at once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BadAtGender Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 I have no idea except for what I just read in that article that Grim posted. Fast 5 had the April record before Cap took it and now Fast 7 is taking it from Cap. So obviously Fast movies do have a lot of presales. I guess. What do you think? I think most movies that have ever been released in April don't generate a lot of presales compared to movies as a whole. So the films that are topping the list are the biggest openers of the month. Really, all that this indicates is that F&F7 is going to be bigger than CA2. Which was pretty much a given already. It'd be useful if we had better comparative data for presales, but that's not likely to happen. So we're left with the vague knowledge that some films are bigger than others, but not by how much, nor with any working knowledge of how much of the opening total that accounts for with a given film, or even how much presales are expanding over time. Given how much of the presale data is incomplete and vague, there isn't a lot of useful insight to glean from it. What we are given smacks more of spin than anything else. It's not wrong, but it's also not especially helpful 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keysersoze123 Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Real monster pre-sales movies are Twilight(I think New Moon topped both Fandango and MT all time tickets) and HP8. Previously most potter movies, Sith and Dark Knight were monster pre-sales movies. Hunger Games Franchise had the potential but surprisingly it regressed with MJ1. I hope at least SW8 breaks all pre-sales records again. I doubt Avengers will break records but should comfortably increase from previous one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxmoser3 Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Furious 7 will beat American Sniper's OW for 2015 until five weeks later with Avengers 2 which should definitely pass American Sniper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You said it much better than I could have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ecstasy Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 BOM updates theater counts every Thursday. Thanks for the info! Normally someone posts them when they come out. I think Talisman and I know kiitik does. But I haven't seen him around lately. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
