VGPOP Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 The only way I would've panicked if the movie had not increased from previous one. $27.6 million previews $80.4 million on Friday ------ $108 million. The movie WILL explode today in ticket sales. I will be extremely surprised that this doesnt break at least $100 million for official opening day. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoxOfficeZ Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 hope it doesnt pull at TDKR and drop at the end of the weekend to a lower than expected number It won't, its May, and I'm expecting it to have a nice weekend with families in play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jandrew Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 (edited) Honestly I don't even see $200m. I'm happy to be wrong though. You better. I cahnged my predict from 195 to 205 to please you people! * But 195 is what ive always had more confidence in and wouldnt be shocked. But like you, seeing over 200 would be awesome.

The Dark Alfred Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 I think it will wind up around 200m. Expect harsher Sat and Sunday drops than TA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poseidon Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 If IM3 had 9PM show and only did 15M why is everyone freaking out about the 27.6M number of avengers? That's the question I'm asking myself... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avatree Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 It would've hit 30 if they played the new SW trailer at all shows. I would rewatch the film so many times if I could see the SW trailer on the big screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthKosh Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 That's the question I'm asking myself... Because people here want to fail so badly that it is not even funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junkshop36 Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 I still think it does 215-220 for the weekend. I'll be seeing it tomorrow. And, yes, I will be upset if the SW teaser trailer 2 doesn't play in front of it lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynosure Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 What time for the first early projections ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moviedweeb Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 This is a great number and I fully expect this to shatter the OW record. This franchise is much more about children and families than the TDK, HP, Twilight etc.. and I expect today and especially tomorrow to be absolutely massive. We all know what happened when we got the preview number last time. This will likely be more front loaded in terms of the opening weekend relative to its final gross, but not in terms of its first Friday compared to the initial FSS session imo (especially if we look at sequels to films that had an amazing reception). Marvel films have consistently ranked around 10% of its OW numbers during previews and, while I think the percentage will be higher this time around, that leaves more than enough room for this to significantly gain on the first films OW. I am thinking $220m for this at least but we shall see. $190m is still absolutely monstrous, but I see this going much higher. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hasanahmad Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 anything below 200 and people will say this movie disappointed based on expectations, people are growing tired of comic movies etc etc etc etc etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poseidon Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 (edited) Because people here want to fail so badly that it is not even funny. But what would be a fail? I think we can all agree, that The Avengers, just like Avatar, TDK or THG, was something very special in everything it did. That's nothing you can mirror with a formula for success. For me it was always pretty sure, that there's not much room for growth and that we should expect a OW slightly above or around the first movie and a total in the 525-575m range and that would be pretty massive and awesome.

grim22 Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 SO, now that we have concrete numbers we can finally do some proper crunching. 44% 3D share for the previews, 24/12/8 breakdown for 3D/IMAX/Other (Avengers did 40/8/4), so 4% increase for both IMAX and Other, but hefty drop for standard 3D AND this is only previews, the rest of the weekend should fall even harder. Still, if it sustains the 24/12/8 breakdown for the full weekend, 21.8M tickets (TA/TDK/SM3) would yield 224M. The Premium formats have even higher average prices than 3D so they makeup slightly for the decline there. However, if the previews were at 44%, then I think it's pretty reasonable to assume that the rest of the weekend will be a little lower, to the point where the full weekend comes out to 40-42%, so closer to 220M IF it sells that many tickets. I think apart from LPF and IMAX screens, normal 3D screens will probably drop from TA. The increased ticket prices fro LPF and IMAX will make up some of the difference.

Kvikk Lunsj Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Absolute floor for weekend is 195+. Seeing 210 now. I still holding out hope for a 230m I still it can make 215m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmandeep Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 A ton of misinformation ... Ta did 18.6 million for midnights not 20. Ta did 62.4 for Friday not 65. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
