Hatebox Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 I think the potential effect of the fight is being exaggerated, but of course we'll never know either way. Still expect a big Saturday thanks to families. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 $84.5 million $65 million $51 million $200.5 million OW It's still a possibility. I know you hate the Avengers and want a $180-185 million OW, but that doesn't mean it's a 100% lock. Families love the Avengers, so Saturday and Sunday should be quite strong Sorry, I thought you meant China Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiantCALBears Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 The fight will have an effect no question. Think of the millions fathers, sons are betting, spending ON PPV. Even taking a fraction of that from TA2 will be something notable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vc2002 Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 (edited) WTF????? So it could possibly have a under 200m OW? WOW I didn't see that coming and I dont think most of us did either. Edited May 2, 2015 by vc2002 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Marston Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 I always knew it wouldn't make as much as the first but I still always expected over 200m opening weekend and over 500m domestically. If it doesn't do that I will be disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 The funny thing is James actually liked Age of Ultron more than most on here. I only want it to do bad because it competes with Potter. And yes, the movie was very good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bishop54 Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 (edited) I wasn't overly impressed with the film, it doesn't deserve the first films OW. I did love Scarlett Witch though, totally bad ass. Edited May 2, 2015 by Bishop54 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantomex Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 No they didn't. TA sold ~65M, TDK sold ~73M Mojo says TA sold slightly more tickets. http://www.boxofficemojo.com/alltime/adjusted.htm?adjust_yr=1p=.htm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empire Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 I only want it to do bad because it competes with Potter. And yes, the movie was very good. That is understandable as the fanboy comes out in most of us from time to time. Oh, and I agree, AoU was very good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AniNate Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 It was reasonable to expect a bigger OW with a smaller total gross. Just shows how much the first came out of nowhere. Disagree. The first already had a record opening. It was highly optimistic to expect this to do even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empire Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 I think it's being fairly considered same with the NBA playoffs tonight. What about the Kentucky Derby? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadAtGender Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Well, that's a hell of an interesting number to wake up to. Probably thinking the opening will be in the mid 190s, now. Jesus, everyone got me expecting it was going to be closer to 100. WTF happened, people? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spizzer Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Assuming the 3D share remained 24/12/8 for the full Friday, here's a quick attendance comparison with TA (AOU in bold): Previews - 2.69M vs. 1.97M Friday - 5.53M vs. 6.53M Full OD - 8.22M vs. 8.49M I will adjust as soon as we get an updated 3D/IMAX split. As of now, seems like TA is on pace for ~19.5M tickets sold for the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 QUESTION: Do you guys take Forbes' Scott Mendelson's box-office thoughts and extrapolations seriously or is he a Nikki Finke type? I'm just reading an article he just published about his thoughts on AOU's Friday numbers. Mendelson seems like an intelligent guy but his analyses tend to be overwhelmed by personal biases.

Alpha Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 So I guess DH2 still holds the opening day record. Impressive. Still a great opening day for TA2. $84.5 million is impressive, and the fact it'll earn around $195-200 million for the weekend is amazing.
