Avatree 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. it's still an exciting number, just not for this franchise. These numbers for any other movie and this would be a madhouse.

Blankments Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 No, but seriously Star Wars opening weekend is gonna be great Except that I won't be here at least until Friday night but it's not like I ever liven up these threads lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny how such a big number doesn't feel that exciting anymore. I'm not really one of those who thinks big numbers are inherently exciting. 'Sequel might open a bit higher than it's predecessor' isn't really a woah moment. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddyxx Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Is that supposed to represent TDKR crashing....with no survivors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noctis Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 (edited) He is just doing the math. He doesn't think it will break $300m OW either. That's not an excuse. It's a ridiculously stupid article that Forbes should be ashamed of. Piss-poor journalism. And the fact that the author implies that DH2, TDKR, NM-BD2 had Thursday previews is beyond insane.

wileECoyote Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Great number.

Funny how such a big number doesn't feel that exciting anymore. There were numbers like 30-35 being thrown around here so yeah maybe some would be let down...just a little. But for a Marvel movie, it's a great number. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blankments Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 I think we're also already a bit spent from Furious 7 legitimately overperforming 20M from everyone's predicts; Avengers seems kinda just like "uh okay" now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#ED Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 So 200M would still need 80M+ total today right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 it's still an exciting number, just not for this franchise. These numbers for any other movie and this would be a madhouse.Yeah.

Poseidon 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. It's the "I need to sleep, but I don't fucking care"-Midnight-Excitement-Factor that's missing. I just can repeat myself on this one. Aurora is in the past now, it's time for studios to go back to making a preview something special and an experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GiantCALBears Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Based on expectations, that number is far from great. In fact even with inflation +3D it's only a few million ahead of TDK midnights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
