La Binoche Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 (edited) On the bright side, the Audience Score on RT is 90%. Ugh I keep seeing ads on this site for the PEOPLE Magazine cover of Kum Kumdashian's dad who threw on a wig and a dress and is faking wanting to be a woman for attention.

Mango Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 No they didn't. TA sold ~65M, TDK sold ~73M Well, TDK had IMAX so I think it's more like 71-72 million. Avengers had $68-69 million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fmpro Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 It's not bad. It's just incredibly underwhelming for a film that comes after a 600m+ grosser that was pegged to break the OD and OW record. Yet it's failed to top even 60m for daytime Friday business. I still think its a sat/sun movie.. Most OS markets topd us that last weekend.. I would not be surprised if it hits 70 mill tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keysersoze123 Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 I only predicted 500m for this. But after all the pre-sales reports and most of the tracking including studio calling for OW record, I thought it will break OW record and then crash hard to 500m. I still believe this will have worse legs than IM3 but this movie has thrown more than one curveball so far. I think its friday played exactly opposite of 1st one. I think most extrapolation overestimated it because they underestimated the last one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cory Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Well, TDK had IMAX so I think it's more like 71-72 million. Avengers had $68-69 million. Spizzer adjusted for all that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mahnamahna Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 $200 million OW $550 million DOM total (reasonable since the first got a 3x. A 2.75x is achieveable... especially since Mad Max and Tomorrowland are about as strong as Battleship/MIB 3 combined) $1.25 billion OS total $1.8 billion WW total I think Marvel/Disney will be satisfied regardless of the DOM decline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfirebird2008 Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Can one of y'all tell me what the first Spider-Man made at midnight in 2002? I want to say $7.5m but I can't find any sources on Google. BOM's report doesn't mention it either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pensivepenguin 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#ED Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Those of you with hopes of 200M will need Saturday to hit 70M+ to gaurantee it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spizzer Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 The SM2 effect. But SM2 opened in the middle of the week. It would likely have broken the OW record had it opened on a Friday and it still made ~93% of the original's gross. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnY Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 hm i don't think many people were expecting this to gross less than the first movie in the OW total gross ok, but not OW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudolf Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 No chance at 200m$. Thursday : 27.6m$ Friday : 56.9m$ Saturday : 60m$ Sunday : 45m$ OWE : 189.5m$ China had a higher OD than USA+Canada for FF7. Could Avangers2 also have a higher maximum dayscore in China, because $60m look doable for them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ecstasy Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 It's all about expectations, TA2 was always going to make a lot of $. The day business on Friday barely beating IM3 is not a great sign on legs. Well it did beat IM3 and until now IM3 had the 2nd biggest OW of all time right? So that makes 0 sense. If Friday came in less then I would agree with you somewhat. But those Thursday previews were a lot bigger than both TA1 and IM3 with a much smaller 3d share. I think the problem with expectations is that TA set an incredibly high bar. $200m in one weekend is no easy feat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoxOfficeFangrl Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Exactly. Once you go so high, there s just one way but down. Titanic 2 would have made less than the first one, lol B-but Avatar... Not Titanic 2, exactly, but there were a lot of skeptics that Cameron could make the biggest movie ever, again. With the Marvel movies doing so well I did think Avengers 2 would benefit and finish pretty close to the first one. Maybe it will pull a Catching Fire and surprise us with the multiplier.
