kayumanggi Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 My goodness, DH II's midnights was just massive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyneOh1040 Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Really solid numbers, obviously this is going to be massive, which we all knew. I'm rooting for it, even though I thought it was inferior to The Avengers is just about every way. Still really entertaining though. These kind of releases help me remember how special Potter was in terms of rush factor. 43.5 million from midnights, not early preview, but midnights, is still so, so staggering. I think there's no question that Star Wars will probably take it from come December but without the continuation of that franchise I think it would have been a record that could have stood for at least the next 5-10 years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MovieGuyKyle17 Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 (edited) When Walt Disney reports that Marvel’s Avengers: Age of Ultron earned $27.6 million on its advance-night Thursday showings in 2D, 3D, and IMAX 3D, it means that, under normal circumstances, we’re looking at what amounts to 9-12% of its opening weekend. So just running those numbers, we’re looking at a debut weekend of $230m-$306m. So does that mean we’re looking at the first $300m debut weekend? Well I would presume not, but that certainly would snap me out of my relative box office doldrums. But first some box office history for those who came in late.

Avatree Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 BOM has been slacking more than usual recently. I know they're doing fewer and fewer articles but still, this is one of the biggest weekends of the year, and certainly the biggest weekend for a single film. It's a bit odd for there to be no forecast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blankments Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 I'm feeling a bit like I'm catching the BK007. Just getting tired of movies in a sense after Avengers Well except for Star Wars. Hopefully Fury Road will take me out of this mode in a few weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fullbuster Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 It's absolutely wonderful. I know it's frontloaded but still...I'm really confident it can beat the OW all-time record 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a bit odd for there to be no forecast. I agree. It's the first time in three years where a movie has a legit shot at breaking the OW record and BOM opts out on a forecast. Lame.

Hatebox Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Still surprised there are people that don't think the OW record is a given. I say that knowing bugger all about weekend multipliers, OD extrapolations, etc etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fullbuster Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 $300m OW weekend? No way!!! That will be for The Avengers 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Great number. As usual, there's some calling it a disappointment when in all likelihood it's still gonna end up in the expected 210-220m range anyway. Funny how such a big number doesn't feel that exciting anymore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moviedweeb Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 This article gets ridiculous as you read on. For what it’s worth, if Avengers 2 has the same “did 4.2x its Thursday number over Friday” pattern as Avengers 1, the Friday number will be around $118m. He is just doing the math. He doesn't think it will break $300m OW either. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lordmandeep Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 However keyzer we have seen since im3 that these previews are leading to rather back loaded weekends. We saw this with im3 cf and fast 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
