a2k Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 (edited) IM3 and TA2 are surprisingly close - 174.1m ow vs 187.6m ow (TA2 is higher by 7.7%) Sundays are similar too - 43m vs 45.9m (TA2 is higher by 7%) IM3's gross was 409m. To touch 500m TA2 needs to end higher by 22.2%. Edit: +10% will give it ~450m. Close to TDKR. Edited May 3, 2015 by a2k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spizzer Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 If Fantastic Beast becomes successful Potter will be king again. Harry Potter Films (8 Films)- $7,723,431,572 Marvel Cinematic Universe (11 Films)- $7,786,848,712 No it won't, MCU's like half way done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Potter Films (8 Films)- $7,723,431,572 Marvel Cinematic Universe (11 Films)- $7,786,848,712 That's like 6 different franchises vs. 1.

Harry Potter Films (8 Films)- $7,723,431,572 Marvel Cinematic Universe (11 Films)- $7,786,848,712 That's not likely. Even pessimistically, AoU is going to gross another 700-800m WW. Ant-Man should hit in the 500m range. Civil War is probably good to cross a billion. And Doctor Strange is probably going to do similar to Ant-Man. By the time Fantastic Beasts opens, the MCU will probably be aroun 10b. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impact Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 (edited) Well I thought Fast and Furious might have some sort of strange record for the biggest franchise to never have a Oscar nomination-but nope it is Twilight. Edit: Thought THG will pass that-but maybe they will finally nominate it for something (probably sadly not) Edited May 3, 2015 by Impact Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecstasy Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Posted at HSX. Not sure if he is still around. You would think someone here would have picked up on it if he did. He was usually pretty helpful with giving us a general idea on midnight numbers. grim answered below. He got promoted and doesn't have numbers access on a tickets sold level anymore (or not as quickly) Thanks grim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJG Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Well done Noctis on getting Saturday and Sunday spot on DH2 is still below AOU tickets though... LOOOOOOOL This made my day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gopher Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Marketing didn't have as clear or as exciting a hook as last time. Certainly a better marketing campaign than IM2 (which also had less to show audiences) but this "only" had the goodwill from Phase 2 Marvel (which is enormous) and not a new reason for the masses to check out an Avengers film. Shaving admissions by a couple million in hindsight isn't terribly surprising-- we were misled by presales and early Friday figures that just weren't true. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Potter Films (8 Films)- $7,723,431,572 Marvel Cinematic Universe (11 Films)- $ 7,786,848,712 that's very unlikely because AOU will make at least 500 million, Ant-Man should make Thor 1 numbers, Captain America 3 would do 230 million domestic. While I'm excepting Beasts to make at least 260+ for now and it depends how many sequels it gets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfirebird2008 Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 ...we were misled by presales and early Friday figures that just weren't true.

straggler Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Oh come now. Avengers:AOU is a huge disappointment. A failure! A flop! A debacle! Because people were predicting $220 million. Or something. A film doing what logic says it will do is not a disappointment. It is just that in retrospect the predictions didn't make much sense. Personally I have been sick of every Marvel film except Iron Man 1 and X-Men:DOFP. It is lazy film-making, the same formula again and again. Fatigue sets in.

Yandereprime101189 Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 that's very unlikely because AOU will make at least 500 million, Ant-Man should make Thor 1 numbers, Captain America 3 would do 230 million domestic. While I'm excepting Beasts to make at least 260+ for now and it depends how many sequels it gets. I see Captain America 3 being a bit more successful than 230 million with the added characters like Iron Man. Really, they should just drop Captain America from the title and call it Marvel's Civil War Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jandrew Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 What I don't understand: 2015 has been a monster so far, AOU, Fast 7, Sniper's $350 mil, like 7 $50M OW's, yet, we're not even $200 million ahead of 2014... What even. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
