DAR Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 It is impressive and any studio would kill for that number. Though you gotta admit that given the comparisons with the first film and the earlier estimates that ranged from 85-100M, it's disappointing to see it end up at the lowest end of that range. No, not really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#ED Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Per late night returns, it appears as though Ultron will chalk up an estimated $85M, making it second to Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2‘s first day of $91.07M and beating the first Avengers which bowed to $80.8M. All these opening figures are propped by Thursday night previews. Ultron had more showtimes than its first chapter since it kicked off earlier at 7PM vs. midnight (in the wake of the Aurora, Colorado shootings, exhibs no longer launch films at midnight). Current FSS bow for Ultron is $202.6M per industry calculations, but that’s incorporating a ding from the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight. That figure would put Ultron second to Avengers’ bow in the all-time B.O. annals. Deadline.com 202M? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pensivepenguin Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 No, not really Really? I think I'm a pretty reasonable person and as I went to bed last night, the last estimates that people were looking at was around mid-90s (you can even say low-mid 90s). So relative to that, it is. It's all relative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiantCALBears Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 (edited) Early previews might have deflated friday. A bigger saturday jump than TA i wouldn't totally rule out yet. I would, this is not a good sign. There is no other way to spin but TA1 beating TA2 Friday day business Edited May 2, 2015 by GiantCALBears Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#ED Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 (edited) While large format and 3D are providing some extra Red Bull to Ultron‘s ticket sales this weekend, the motion-seat 4DX format is another catalyst. It’s a new exhib technology that was wowing during CinemaCon. 4DX is reporting an average of 85% occupancy rates for its Ultron showtimes in the U.S. Furious 7, which is looking at an estimated fifth frame of $7.7M stateside, played in 4DX around the world and recently passed 1M admissions. WAIT. Where are these 4D LOCATIONS? Edited May 2, 2015 by #ED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GiantCALBears Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 People who blame the boxing match seem to think doing two things in one day isn't possible It will have an effect, same with the Derby & NBA playoffs. To deny that is stupid lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pensivepenguin Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Marvel/Disney will spin this as AOU beating TA1 on Friday, and when its Saturday number comes in lower than TA1's they'll attribute it to the boxing match. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redfirebird2008 Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 I would, this is not a good sign. There is no other way to spin but TA1 beating TA2 Friday day business There isn't. TA2 has a lot more screens. TA1 didn't have enough screens to satisfy demand on Friday night. Add in that the first one had incredible WOM and you would have thought enough people would have showed up to at least match the Friday day business this time around. I mean just between the first two weekends TA1 made $310m. You would have expected some of that $103m in the second weekend to show up for the first weekend and maybe even opening day for TA2. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiantCALBears Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Neo still quoting predicts from members that have $90m+ OD. Give it up, Neo. Guy gets desperate when he's spent so long thinking about record breaking numbers only to have OD & possibly OW evaporate overnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, eat crow Dude: generally speaking, the later estimates get more accurate. This was one of those times where they weren't. It's not an exact science; since usually the higher numbers get supported by the west coast turnout, it's not surprising people here would expect the same. No crow is needed. The projections based off showtimes and presales were off by a percentage point or so, that's all. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even mentioned that $250m was not off the table and that $220-230m was very likely. Oops! Still $200m would be an awesome number if Disney can pull it off.

MrPink Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 (edited) OMG...i love you teach me your ways It's actually very simple. There's a program called GifCam, so you download it, open the program, and it'll have a window which you can layer on top of another video. So I go to Youtube, find a good clip, play the video, then hit record on Gifcam with the window layered on top of the video. Once you get the clip you want, you go to edit, resize the gif and then delete the frames that you don't want (GifCam makes this simple with options like 'Delete from this Frame to Start/End). Then save, upload to Imgur, and voila! Once you tinker around with it more you get better at it. There are also ways to add text but that takes a bit of practice Edited May 2, 2015 by MrPink 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
