Dementeleus Posted May 1, 2015 Author Share Posted May 1, 2015 Basically, all they're saying is it's performing about the same as TA1, maybe with slightly lighter matinees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 85-89? IF that holds I'll laugh my ass off. After all the shitty comments that this is locked to obliterate DH2s OD blah blah blah, that is just plain bad. It would also be very frontloaded compared to all Marvel previous movies. And it would mean nothing will take the OD record for a VERY LONG time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuart360 Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 I know its probably a long shot but i'm really starting to wonder if its possible that this misses 500mil US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grim22 Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 If these are the expectations imagine how the expectations will be What? I would take the early Friday predictions with a huge grain of salt. The final predictions could come in as being higher or lower then what was just projected. Best comment in the thread by far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 The word 'lock' reminds me of that one old thread I skimmed through when I first joined. The definition, philosophy, origins, importance....all that jazz, of the word 'lock' were throughoutly dissected. It was a painfully hilarious experience. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noctis Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 If AoU does less than $100m, then it's absolutely guaranteed the 5 extra hours of previews allowed it to top DH2. 29 hours vs 24 hours is not being accurate. At all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noctis Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 (edited) I'm only telling you this because I want you all to know that even if AoU tops DH2, it'll be because of an extra five hours. It's like giving the fat kid a medal because he finished a race. Edited May 1, 2015 by Noctis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
water Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 i rewatched avengers 1 last night and it is still sooo overrated. like it's very fun but nothing amazing. i did get chills during the spin shot though i guess. it's highly probable i end up thinking aou is better, if there's still any surprises left not shown in trailers. cap 2 tonight, aou tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At all. I agree but thats the way it is now. As long as people don't start gloating and saying its done better than 'X' film that came out years ago, then its fine with me.

Warhorse Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 OK. Just came home from a 2 day Ultimate Marvel Movie Marathon up in Orlando. While I had a blast, being surrounded by other Marvel/CBM fans, I guess watching all of these movies back to back on the big screen, being able to immediately compare each movie with eachother and as a whole, my party actually walked away from AOU very disappointed. That movie was a complete train wreck. The villain and how he came and his reasonings sucked, the plot line and the absence of certain other plotlines sucked, the continuity and flow of the movie sucked, the acting felt forced for most of it, and not natural like the other MCU, the overall story and editing was very inconsistent, or incoherent, take your pick. No standout moments for me, no wow factor for me (and don't tell me it's because the newness wore off, because TWS had the elevator scene and GOTG had a gun toting raccoon, so enough said) A certain death felt wasted and just stuck in there for the sake of a death. The obnoxious love crap was totally pointless, wasted and sucked. This is truly one of the worst movies I have seen in this genre, and definitely the worst out of the MCU. Thank goodness I have Civil War and Daredevil to look forward to. Who is to blame for this mess now, Joss Whedon or Kevin Feige? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like giving the fat kid a medal because he finished a race. Kinda like how DH2 only set the weekend record because of ticket price inflation, huh? By the way, be happy DH2 held on to the preview record. I'm glad that hasn't been broken by one of these 7 PM Thursday movies. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think, if it gets enough theaters and a big push, Star Wars 7 may have a shot at that record. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewy Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 I believe TA1 and IM3 were both underestimated initially, so we'll see how it goes from here. Which led to Thor2 and Cap2 being overestimated. So yeah, we'll see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
