wildphantom Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Perspective. I've listed below films and their immediate sequels that I consider to be genuine phenomenons like the first Avengers movie was. Movies that adjust to over $500 million on their first runs. Now tell me.... Does anyone spot a pattern here? Star Wars - $307.3 million Empire Strikes Back - $209.4 million Jurassic Park - $357.1 million The Lost World - $229.1 million Batman $251.2 million Batman Returns $162.8 million Home Alone - $285.8 million Home Alone 2 - $173.6 million Raiders of the Lost Ark - $212.2 million Temple of Doom - $179.9 million Spider-Man - $403.7 million Spider-Man 2 - $373.6 million The Dark Knight - $534.9 million The Dark Knight Rises - $448.2 million The Phantom Menace - $431.1 million Attack of the Clones - $302.2 million. I think that just about sums up just how ridiculous some of you guys are being about Ultron's massive opening. Ultimately, this was the sequel to a phenomenon like all of the above were - not just a huge hit. There is a difference. If it now finishes under $500 million domestic - well so what? History already told us it would. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cory Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 (edited) So what could this mean for ANT-MAN? Nothing. I think this is a fairly isolated incident for Marvel. Edited May 3, 2015 by cory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avatree Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Pretend you didn't. Whatever. That in itself (rewriting history after being proven wrong) is a typical fanboy thing to do. What? I am not being a fanboy. I hate Marvel and I hate superhero films. someone back me up please.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superduperm Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Rth is a god guys, his $95-$100m Friday, $63m-$67m Saturday predictions are the gold standard that can't be challenged & anyone who disagrees should GTFO. Hahahahahahahaha Are you done yet? Seriously I've never seen someone get so much joy out of this. Calm down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmnerdjamie Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 So what could this mean for ANT-MAN? I don't think Age of Ultron was ever going to effect it, regardless of if it was positive or negative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxmoser3 Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 This isn't horrible but it should make about 570 million domestic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuart360 Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 People talking about others having some perspective but no one is saying this is a terrible amount, just that its disappointing in context to the first film. If the first Avengers has opened to a 150mil opening weekend, we would all be blown away by AOU's 187 mil OW, THATS perspective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiantCALBears Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Are you an expert at extrapolating truly raw box office data hours before other sources? Nope, so? People are saying those who disagree, don't shower rth with praise should be banned so what goes around comes around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avatree Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Silver lining of this: There's no way Star Wars misses #1 domestic of the year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdeezy Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 lol, its the 2nd biggest opening of all time. This doom and gloom is ridiculous. Its not a disappointment so much as it just shows how massive the first one was. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disagreeing and trying to dance on his nonexistent grave are two different things. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dingdong123 Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 You guys back off. Who are you calling when you are worried and need the earliest accurate estimates for your fave movies which no one else can give ?RTH. He was wrong today does not mean he is wrong always. He was right when I usually track box office and I give him credit for that. Ya'll are a mess. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lumos Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 It's only 14m higher than IM3? That's what you guys are using as your reason to be disappointed with this number? News flash. IM3 had an absolutely gargantuan opening weekend. The fact that AOU came within 10% of TA is pretty impressive. A 207m OW In 2012 was way before it's time IMO....
