iceroll Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Remember the meltdowns, when Catching Fire did less on OD than Hunger Games and went on to peak on Saturday? Stranger things have happened. I still think, 200m is far from over... Except CF is a better movie than THG, while TA2 is... Not. Also CF's Friday day number wasn't that much lower than THG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noctis Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Except CF is a better movie than THG, while TA2 is... Not. Also CF's Friday day number wasn't that much lower than THG CF's WOM was fantastic. AoU isn't getting even close to the acclaim CF did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pensivepenguin Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 So a litte above 80? Not a record. So thats 57 plus previews. Today's hold should be good cause I think early WOM isnt bad. Salute to all my box office experts up here that predicted it would drop or break even. History stikes again. But how could a number that massive be disappointing? Because it's all about perspective and expectations, both of which are very, very screwy among BOT users. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neo Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 This also has 63 less teathers than the first Avengers I believe Does that matter? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noctis Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 First Noctis et al were being sore losers. Now they're being sore winners. Some battles can't be won, only accepted and moved on from to continue fighting the war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think, 200m is far from over... You can't compare it to CF. THG is a freak of nature. CF had similar legs to THG. MJ1 decreased 90m from the previous movie, when all trends saying it shouldn't have. THG never follows any boxoffice rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yandereprime101189 Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Well, 85 million is one hell of a number Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuart360 Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 So the new update is 85mil?, so a 57mil Friday without previews?. Damn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceroll Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Nothing against TA2 but I'm really glad this number happened. It was pretty hilarious seeing the panic from the preview numbers, then the crazy hype/projections from the 100m OD period, and now the panic again. Box office gives me life. *popcorn.gif* 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caesar Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 (edited) I'm thinking this through and it occurs to me that I may have jumped that gun on this doing 190m OW. If it manages to do 87.6 and we assume that the Friday minus previews number has been affected by the 7PM shows on Thursday, then it's possible this could still match or better TA OW. 27.6 60 69 52 (208.6M OW) A little optimistic, maybe, but I think it's possible.

Neo Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 At the end of all this, it may break $100 million and it might end up grossing my original prediction of $230 million weekend. For 85M-90M sure reading the last 20+ pages and hearing about these lines sounds so good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
