GiantCALBears Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 (edited) Imagine if Spider-Man played on more than 7500 screens. That's half of what TA2 is playing on. Imagine also 13 years of ticket price inflation and IMAX and 3D tacked on. SM1 doesn't get enough credit for that performance. It ignited huge interest in the comic book movie genre & has led to tens of billions in franchise revenues trying to copy off it & each other. Was no doubt a landmark moment.

ACSlater Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 You bet your ass it will. With or without me, Potter will always be discussed here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poseidon Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 The number floating around is 250m but I am pretty sure it s over 300m. Actors had to be paid this time and the ending credits for this movie are nuts. Thousands of people worked on it, never saw so many names in ending credits. The vfx houses only, it s insane. Thanks. Yes, would seem a bit low. Pretty sure RDJ will earn 50m and more alone... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noctis Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 I see no issue with people bring up Harry Potter. Let them be. It's like when people bring up DC or Marvel or any other film that isn't the film the thread is about. Get a grip, and the hell over it. You insecure about your film so much that you get salty when we bring up the legendary Harry Potter series? Bye. For one, it had a huge ass impact that we will probably never see be matched for a long ass time. Not even THG, as much as I love that series. Let them be. They have every right to get upset over a film like AOU beating DH2's opening day record by like less than 10M? Lmfao, all because of five extra hours? Okay. Y'all bring that shit up when it's another movie, so don't be getting fake and all. Harry Potter is the ish and will always be the ish, or at least for a long ass time. Sure, nowadays, Marvel has the upper hand with all the 3D and inflation, but who was the reigning WW champ back in the day? Oh, right. So, go ahead. Complain and whine about Harry Potter being talked about, and be a fake ass whiny hoe. I'll read you, eventually, when I'm done playing RE6 with my bestie.

GiantCALBears Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 American Sniper is still my favorite box office event in like, two years. Way more of a shock than this or Fast 7, no question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Nevada Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Underrated box office success of the year: the new Spongebob. The 2004 movie made something like 80M, the sequel makes 162M ten years later. I had no idea kids were still into Spongebob but I guess he's bigger than ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avatree Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 What Avenger could be beaten by Potter ? In a fight? Iron Man, Scarlet Witch, Black Widow and Hawkeye would easily be beaten by Harry Potter. He could also kill Captain America if Cap made a slip, but I think Cap's shield would deflect spells. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Shorts Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 How does owning stock in a company have anything to do with the importance of Marvel compared to Potter? Calbear just likes to flaunt he knows how to buy stock on Etrade. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Futurist Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Thanks. Yes, would seem a bit low. Pretty sure RDJ will earn 50m and more alone... I have no proof but Disney s budget tentpoles are always underestimated. But, yeah, very expensive movie, probably most expensive movie of the year, and if you had marketing, oh boy.
