Mojoguy Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Soooo, when will we get OFFICIAL & CONFIRMED firady numbers? Never, because "firday" doesn't actually exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoxOfficeZ Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 (edited) During the late afternoon on Friday, given how rapidly exhibs were adding showtimes following Avengers: Age of Ultron‘s sold-out time slots, the projection for heavy late night traffic prompted a number of high opening estimates for the Disney Marvel sequel. 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. So based on the late afternoon sold out showings, they projected it would do 95-100 originally, but demand didn't go that high. EDIT: Just mentioning, you'd have to be crazy not to be happy with an OD number that beats TA1. Edited May 2, 2015 by BoxOfficeZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayumanggi Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 No.. It's from last night and people see how low there prediction is and are going with it.. I saw DHD's numbers earlier was in the 94 M - 97 M range. They have changed it to 85 M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmandeep Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 You should stop predicting Lordmandeep. The movie is failing you. Just be happy with the numbers. Lol I knew something was up with 95-100 million, but I believed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessie Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 lol 85m is a fail and you guys know it. I hope the actual estimates and then the actuals turn out better. Still it would be really hilarious if it fails to break DH2's record after all the things stacked in its favour studio is don't add extra showtime to try and break opening record, they do it to get more money, simple as that. It's actually embarrassing when people put down a movie for not breaking certain pointless record. oh and for the record, those expecting this to beat DH2 OD in the first place we're always setting themselves up for a disappointment, it was never going to happen.

kayumanggi Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 The first opened with 80.8 M. This one has opened with 85 M. Color me shocked a bit. Let's hope Saturday is better. I need to get points my goodness. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aliadiere29 Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Its sort of anti-climatic, going from expecting 100m OD and now we're at 85m. A number any movie would kill for, especially for an opening day. It's the number we deserve, but not the one we need right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoxOfficeZ Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Well it pisses me off that they would even consider posting weekend estimates when fucking Saturday hasn't even begun and 6:00AM here on the East Coast along with sunday and it's jumping the gun and making the same mistakes they did 3 years ago and for some reason or another, a hack site like Deadline is persuading people to believe there numbers when it's just too early.. We're talking about OD numbers here. Discussing the rest of the weekend numbers is a tad premature maybe, but people are allowed to predict.

CoolioD1 Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 reading thru this thread, how insecure are some of you that you're insulting 'pompous' critics who didn't like the movie you liked? especially when the majority liked it. yeesh, you guys. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caesar Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 (edited) I just realised that an 85m Friday for AOU would mean that its Friday minus previews would only be about 4m higher than IM3 Friday minus previews. Edited May 2, 2015 by Caesar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elessar Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 When RTH comes on late in the afternoon, I guarantee his number will be much higher.. You guys should be ashamed of yourselves for falling for this same shit you did back in 2012. Yu call yourselves box office experts but have basically failed.. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just realised that an 85m Friday for AOU would mean that its Friday minus previews would only be about 4m higher than IM3 Friday minus previews. That makes sense though I'd expect it to be a little higher. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pensivepenguin Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 I hate to be one of those folks who isn't impressed by what otherwise is a huge number but that's ... really underwhelming? Especially when the first film had an 80.1M Friday with a smaller preview number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
