K1stpierre Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Update, 1:22PM: Industry box office estimates see Disney’s Marvel Avengers: Age of Ultron on track for a $87M opening Friday at the domestic B.O., inclusive of yesterday’s $27.6M receipts. That would make Ultron the second highest opening day of all-time behind Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II which made $91.07M on its first Friday (on its way to a $169.2M weekend). An $87M first Friday for Ultron also pegs it ahead of first installment Avengers which made $80.8M. The industry estimate for Ultron opening weekend is currently $213M. Again, these figures become harder as cash drawers close out into the evening. I still aren't buying the number. With a film this crazed, anything can happen. I'll wait and take it seriously tomorrow. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Shorts Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 I got Star Wars (and, less excitingly, Ant-Man), but I saw it in IMAX Oh I got Ant-Man too. Big laugh at Thomas the Train, everything else, crickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miketheavenger Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 I've been saying this for a while. If this doesn't break the OD record, some people will call it a disappointment even though it's still gonna have at least the second-biggest opening OF ALL TIME. If this was any other movie, everybody would go crazy about that number, but for AoU it's a disappointment? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, these figures become harder as cash drawers close out into the evening. A 1:30pm prediction of 87M can actually mean a swing of 10% in either direction if the modeling is even slightly off. Will be interesting to see how the numbers evolve over the rest of the day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookie Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 (edited) When I saw AoU in IMAX I got: Tomorrowland Spy Jurassic World Inside Out Terminator Genisys Ant-Man Mission Impossible: Rouge Nation and finally Star Wars.

Olive Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 The first-day numbers for “Age of Ultron” look to come in between $89 million and $98 million — which could break the $91 million opening day record set in July 2011, by Warner Bros.’ “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2.” http://variety.com/2015/film/news/avengers-sequel-huge-at-box-office-may-break-originals-record-1201485734/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neo Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Big night ahead. #AvengersAgeOfUltron certainly has shot at breaking records for opening day (Potter8) & wknd (#Avengers). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dementeleus Posted May 1, 2015 Author Share Posted May 1, 2015 $87m means it's performing a touch below TA1... they're saying it does $60m Friday. Seems a touch disappointing, though I assume the numbers'll trickle higher as the west coast evenings hit strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 I also got what seemed like 30 second tv spots for jurassic world and tomorrowland. which was weird considering they were wedged in between the actual trailers for mad max and star wars, but also super considerate because I didn't wanna sit through 150 seconds of jurassic world and tomorrowland.

STFU and siddown until you give us a decent range. I also got what seemed like 30 second tv spots for jurassic world and tomorrowland. which was weird considering they were wedged in between the actual trailers for mad max and star wars, but also super considerate because I didn't wanna sit through 150 seconds of jurassic world and tomorrowland. I thought all you IMAX people were saddled with the 6-min TOMORROWLAND sequence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
