eddyxx Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 jandrew it was possible,but if your movie is not quite as gd as the first fall offs happen. you should know by now theaters have increased and rules are made to be broken. if avengers 2 had been mind boggling great. 230 m plus ow definitely. could have happened. i dont think too many people predicted 250m ow by the way.:-P what are you talking about? People would not have known how good it is or not on OD/OW. Most people don't look at RT and for the record, most people in the crowds I have been in have liked the movie. Both my friends last night liked the movie too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cameron wants to shoot them all back to back which means it'll be a while because Saldana has commitments to Guardians 2 and possibly Infinity War.

ecstasy Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 While 84M is still the second biggest number ever, it is kinda shocking to wake up to after all the hype last night. I won't gloat and gloat if my 195 comes true, but i will say I hope this weekend has taught us to keep things in perspective. $250M OW??? 650 totals? Didn't someone create an Age of Ultron all time club? We have to predict with more insight and less fanyboyism. Everyone would love to see a big flashy 250M OW, but seriously, going from 207 to 250 in a 3 year span? No matter how much a movie is loved, we know that's not going to happen. And it shouldve always been obvious that this beating TA1 was always going to be a bigggggggggggg stretch. Same with TDK to Rises. People want to keep going on about the shooting (you really should let it go, peoples lives were more important than BO numbers), but without it, Rises still wouldn't have came close to TDK. TDK and TA set impossible bars. You could even say the same about SM1. You have to use more real world logic and metric. And you have to hope for the best, but prepare for the worst. For a lot of you, under 200M was a ZERO percent possibility. You can't do that. You still have to assume it could happen, while hoping for over 200M. None of us are physic, but we all understand anything can go, so lets act like it. And people also have to remember that nothing is official, till its official. You may turn in you exam paper at 6PM, but the professor isn't gonna due anything with it until 12, when its officially due. President Cheeto may win the preliminary votes, but until they do recounts and all precincts are closed, nothing is official, President Llama can still win. I love RTH, Deadline, Variety, etc, but you have to remember theyre all still estimates. Don't mock RTH for being so far off, he never said it was 100%, so we can't keep taking it as so. Once Mojo post the number or Exhibitor send outs the tweet: you can lock and seal it. Oh well. So no one should see this is as disappointing. #2 opening of all time, that's uh...really solid. Problem is you have to put things in perspective, and predict and expect with the real world, not what numbers you want to see. Hopefully this will carry on to BvS, SW7 ($200m OW in December predicts, really? Here we go again), all other Marvels, Hunger Games, Bond, Fast, etc. Big numbers are fun, but having a little more sense would suck out some of the disappointment and pessimism that we seem to see repeated. Great post Jandrew. But you have to take into account the many factions of fanbases here with varying agendas. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lordmandeep Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 (edited) Meltown Its been 3 years to this weekend, I expected an easy record but lately was hoping for TA and now hope for 200+. No doubt a bit let down, however this has happened many times before. If you have an all time hit, its really hard to increase. Common sense, but we forget it all the time.

Kalel009Shel Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 stuart nothing is written in stone until actuals. dont give up yet,;-) the boy wonder may have held onto the record a lil while longer. still the original cast, especially luke , han and leia returning makes for interesting wild card for the single day record. maybe just maybe the ow record as well.

Blankments Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Waking up to that number is pretty great since I still want Avengers 1 to hold the record for a bit, but it also gets me a tad annoyed since I know RTH is gonna get shit for it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
