Furious 7 Weekend Numbers: Revised Official Estimate - 146.5M (Sunday underestimated) | Official OS Estimate - 240.4M

[eXtacy]

with this opening for Furious in April. BvS migh make over 200 million on OW maybe even 220. What do you guys expect for BvS OW ?

 

BVS wont make anywhere near that

[Chewy]

Iron Man 2 had the 5th biggest OW of all time, had a 30% increase from Iron Man, and people were still calling it a flop and starting WWW threads.

 

Now AOU could have the 2nd biggest OW of all time, and people would have the same reaction. Though 2nd biggest is a wide range at this point. 175 would be a lot more disappointing than 205. Just think if it somehow only made 173 and came in under IM3. But of course that seems extremely unlikely. The interest for AOU is definitely there.

 

Iron Man 2's WWW threads were fun but let's be real. Nolan's the trendsetter, with the first 450M/1B "disappointment"

All I get out of this is yall are all spoiled lmao. I remember people calling IM2 and TDKR dissapointments. Spoiled oh so rotten.

A blazing trailmaker, everywhere he goes. Hail

I think "April's" Pre-Summer status has risen thanks to the Fast and Furious Franchise and Cap 2.

Really? Lol. Of course. It is all Depp. Depp = bomb. Into the Woods says hi. 

Into the Woods was a fairytale musical ensemble. Depp wasnt the star, if anything Meryl Streep was. 

Depp is a draw in certain things but i think audiences have definitely gotten tired of the quirky persona. Which is the reason why Mortdecai flopped.

Remember how shocking it was that Attack of the Clones didn't even win the month?

[narniadis]

As if it could truly be considered a disappointment.... stupid movie, will always have the what if factor attached to it.....

 

IM2 was only a disappointment to those who thought 150m was a given.... (which included Paramount) to have only opened a little higher than Alice and then finish beneath it AND the first movie was disappointing. But precedent tells us that sequels decrease more than increase (with some exceptions of course.)

 

And before someone jumps on me, TDKR isn't stupid in total, but some parts of it.....

I think people were really talking about the "Quality" of those films more so than the Box Office cause I don't see how IM2 nor TDKR were box office disappointments.  But they did both decrease from there predecessor's.   If TA2 comes it at 185-195 then that's a cool small decrease.  I think IM3 numbers or less would be an alarming drop though.

140-150M

 

seriously you really don't think a movie with the 2 biggest superheros in 1 movie is gonna beat a fast and furious movie ?

[mredman]

insurgent now stands at 223 million WW after 3 weekends is that good considering the first did 288 million WW in its entire run ?

[narniadis]

Weekend numbers are great. I was in the 120M club but didn't think anything over 125 was possible. Fast was an average movie that is elevated to amazing by the last 10 minutes so I am happy to see it making bank.

 

Everything else just got hit - always happens when a bohemoth enters the market place, same thing will happen in 4 weeks, but then nothing will really be making much anyways.

 

Get Hard didnt.... wasn't expecting it to collapse quite so much.

No moreso than March. Historically March has had bigger movies than April, and there's every reason to expect that trend to continue in 2016 and into the future.

 

CATWS, F7, and F5 are the exceptions, not the rule.

Imo if TA opening weekend does not go down this year it will stand for some time then.

I think it's gonna be just around the same OW ( better legs though. MoS had mixed WoM at best and Affleck's Batman is unproven.

[CaptainJackSparrow]

I predicted IM2 would make 128 mil OW.

Didn't think Fast 7 would hurt Get Hard that much, does Get Hard have bad word of mouth?

Until October 7, 2016

150 would be a good mark and close enough to the previous Batmans to be a good opening, but realistically expecting more is asking to be disappointed when it might not hit that mark.

[Jandrew]

April still isnt pre-summer, just like January and August still isnt top tier. This just show Easter weekend/first April can handle something massive, same with MLK Day.

Yeah this wekend looks good, but the rest of April is still dead...
