filmscholar Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 27. I think that totally fine for previews. Definitely going above 80 OD. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahnamahna Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 We have no idea how the weekend will play out. Maybe 76M Friday, 80M Saturday and 71M Sunday. Would be 254M OW. That has a 8-12% chance of happening. I'd love to see $250-255 million, but that would require an insane multiplier for that to happen... and $254 million would Especially Sunday... no way it does more than $65 million on Sunday. $105 million (Friday with previews) $75 million $60 million $240 million That's probably the most likely bullish result. $210-230 million is the more likely range. Either way, this is on its way to $550-600 million DOM and double that overseas so overall a victory for Marvel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 First class is almost a textbook example of an otherwise bad movie saved by its lead's performances. Bullshit. FC is a fantastic movie. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GiantCALBears Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 (edited) Potter OD is an interesting target, odds of $92.1m happening at this point? Maybe better than 50/50? Edited May 1, 2015 by GiantCALBears 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goffe Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 First class is almost a textbook example of an otherwise bad movie saved by its lead's performances. No, it's not. It wouldn't be a really good movie without the two actors, yes, but it would still be a very enjoyable one. FC had many qualities other than Fassbender and McAvoy, there's no way you can ignore that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewy Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 It doesn't make much sense to have X-Men in the MCU at all. I would like to see the F4 there someday, tho. X-Men always made the least sense as a part of the big Marvel universe. Society is okay with superheroes in general but hates only the X-Men cuz they're mutants 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiantCALBears Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Great Number.. I see this going over 100M OD and well over 200M after all is said and done.. Not $150m, 300m? Shocked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walt Disney Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 I think X-Men works better outside of the MCU. I don't really agree with that, but that has been something that I have heard multiple people say. Yet, that whole concept is going to fall apart as soon as Fox does the inevitable X-Men/Fantastic Four cross-over. The Fantastic Four are one of the properties that fits perfectly into the MCU. If the Fantastic Four can be crossed-over with the X-Men, then the whole MCU can be crossed over with the X-Men, and the argument that the X-Men should be separate falls apart.

Sam Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Love this scene. Second favorite after the cave scenes. Iron Monger was meh, but Obadiah Stane brought it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyGossamer Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 I think it's Matt Vaughn's worst movie. But, it's not bad. Marvel should snag him for Black Panther. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kvikk Lunsj Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 (edited) It doesn't make much sense to have X-Men in the MCU at all. I would like to see the F4 there someday, tho. If Marvel had FF4. Than there would be no GOTG. Maybe Marvel will make a Sub-Mariner, or Moon Knight film for phase 4. Speaking of which what characters can marvel add for phase 4? Or they just going to do sequels (Ant-Man 2, Captain Marvel 2, ihumans 2, Dr. strange 2, Black Panther 2 and GotG 3.

CJohn Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 X-Men always made the least sense as a part of the big Marvel universe. Society is okay with superheroes in general but hates only the X-Men cuz they're mutants Yeah, it makes 0 sense, so I guess X-Men can stay with FOX. They have done a pretty good job with it anyway, IMO. We are bound to get a F4/X-Men movie eventually. The inter-dimensional time travel fuckery in the new F4 is exactly to set that up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayhawk the Hutt Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Are people seriously saying that's a disappointing midnight #? Looks pretty damn good to me, especially for a Marvel movie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAJK Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Okay so in terms of superhero sequels, I would say this is my 5th favourite (with the rule of 1 sequel per franchise, and sub franchises in the MCU count as separate) 1. Spider-Man 2 2. The Dark Knight 3. X2 4. Winter Soldier 5. Age of Ultron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Wars Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 I might be a MARVEL fanboy, but my prediction has been fairly reasonable for the most part.. did you like the movie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think X-Men should stay sperate. I don't know anything about Inhumans but is the government there villain like in X-Men how the government doesn't trust mutants. Because if Marvel got the x-Men rights all the sudden started talking about the mutant problem it would seem really strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moviedweeb Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 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. Shit... All I will say is that despite these 7 PM Thursday previews, opening weekends are compared to all opening weekends regardless of them starting at midnight or whenever. So the comparison is relevant albeit not a good direct comparison (but you can argue comparing moves now to 10 years ago isn't either, it is just the nature of the box office conversation). I think the article is really good since it shows the whole range of numbers based on precedent and then he predicts a pretty reasonable number. But I do see your point despite its lack of eloquence.
