spizzer Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Yeah well we'd tell that dude that a what went right thread wouldn't be applicable. People can be underwhelmed or disappointed. Doesn't warrant a what went wrong thread especially if they acknowledge how strong $187 million is. It certainly does not mean the movie isn't doing fine. Fair enough.

stuart360 Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Probably won't happen till Episode VIII. Star Wars: Domestic Total Adj. Gross: $1,159,000,200 The Empire Strikes Back: Domestic Total Adj. Gross: $640,361,400 Dat franchise fatigue. Star Wars grossed 220mil on its initial release. Empire grossed 209mil on its initial release. Dat fatigue indeed. ESB would definetely deserve a WWW thread if the internet was around in 1980. Did we know if there was a boxing event that weekend to suffer such a decrease? Nope.

DAR Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 AoU not taking the OD record prevented #FiveExtraHours from really taking off and becoming the next great box office meme. We'll find a way, we always do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heat Vision Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Early reminder: This thread needs to be nominated for "Thread of the year" for the boffies. I don't think there will be a more roller-coaster ride of a thread this year. Star Wars Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuart360 Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Where ya seeing that? Mojo has 307 mil for Star Wars initial release and 209 for Empires. It was actually 323mil but that was with re-releases in 78, 79, 81, and 82. Just Google Star Wars initial box office. Its also on Wikipedia. The 220mil initial gross is also common knowledge with many fans, a lot of people tend to forget about all the re-releases that happened before Jedi came out.

The Panda Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 My favorite thing about this weekend and Interstellar's weekend was that they were both humbling experiences for Nolanites and Marvelites after critical and box office response. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dark Alfred Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Sure. In China, Furious 7 increased from $63 million to $182 million. That makes Furious 7's first two weekends in the us look like a joke. Why can't Furious 7 increase in the United States? Pfft. Shockingly bad. (I think Furious 7 has done amazing in the United States but the post is intended to make a point.) What are you talking about? What's your point? Furious 7 increased immensely in the States. My point is that Ultron's only disappointing number is the domestic one. I'm not saying Ultron is doing bad in general, but It's doing shockingly bad compared to other markets. This is a domestic thread, so I'm allowed to use the expression disappointing which is obvious in this case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walt Disney Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 (edited) I completely forgot about that.. I wonder how the critics will be toward that movie and the concept of it given that it'll basically be TA2.5?? We know it will have Spider-Man crossing over with Iron Man, so that should be worth something. The critics will probably like it because it will be superheroes battling each other and taking sides. Also, it will be a Captain America movie, so it won't have those Avengers expectations at the BO, which should make for an enjoyable box office run.
