Dark Prince Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Just wanted to come out of my who-knows-how-long-it's-been hibernation to say how exciting this weekend is, and it's barely started. Going to an 11pm showing tonight, so I have 3 hours to kill. Thank you reserved seating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiantCALBears Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 (edited) The Avengers have been around since the 1960's. Marvel has been around since the late 1930's. It already has the longer legacy. You are dreaming if you think any of that content comes close to the impact Potter the book series has had on kids & will for generations to come. Sorry it's the truth with all due respect to comic book fans. Edited May 1, 2015 by GiantCALBears 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noctis Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 $95-100 million OD? What is that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walt Disney Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 In the US at least. As an overseas person I didn't even know about The Avengers before 2012. That's a very fair distinction to make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redfirebird2008 Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 What do you think about saturday now with these bigger number? Honestly have no idea. The bigger tonight goes, the tougher it will be for this one to pull a TA1/IM3 tomorrow. It will be interesting to watch the little aspects of this run. We always knew it would be a mega opener. The "how" is more interesting at this point than the actual totals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry it's the truth with all due respect to comic book fans. Marvel has already done it and for longer than Potter. You may not like it, but it doesn't change that it's the way that things are.

Heretic Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Sad to see DH2's record go down. But that day was nuts. Way more excting than any box office milestones AoU will hit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noctis Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Books much more so than the films though. Of course. Films had a big impact, but the Potter books were unlike anything the world has seen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiantCALBears Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 And Star Wars craps on both of em. Not exactly the case with Potter, I'll concede it's way more apart of pop culture history in importance than the avengers or MCU. That's really easy.
