grim22 Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 (edited) LOL, Variety. STFU and siddown until you give us a decent range. I thought all you IMAX people were saddled with the 6-min TOMORROWLAND sequence. Looks like the range is actually the same as Gitesh predicted earlier. No one is quite sure yet how the evening and night shows will shape up. Avengers killed it during the evening and night shows. If AoU does similarly, then who knows?

fmpro Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Update, 1:22PM: Industry box office estimates see Disney’s Marvel Avengers: Age of Ultron on track for a $87M opening Friday at the domestic B.O., inclusive of yesterday’s $27.6M receipts. That would make Ultron the second highest opening day of all-time behind Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II which made $91.07M on its first Friday (on its way to a $169.2M weekend). An $87M first Friday for Ultron also pegs it ahead of first installment Avengers which made $80.8M. The industry estimate for Ultron opening weekend is currently $213M. Again, these figures become harder as cash drawers close out into the evening. http://deadline.com/2015/05/avengers-age-of-ultron-thursday-box-office-1201419080/ That would be great number Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theStun Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 I feel like I hit trailer jack pot, I thought everyone got SW trailer. The 3D for the trailer was fairly impressive as well. Got a huge reaction from the crowd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neo Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 $87m, eh? Not able to top DH2's $91m despite FIVE HOURS of extra showings. Guess you missed that post above. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orestes Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 LOL, Variety. STFU and siddown until you give us a decent range. I thought all you IMAX people were saddled with the 6-min TOMORROWLAND sequence.

Kalel009Shel Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Guys, come on. Let's be realistic. There is no way it's gonna do less than $90m with an extra 5 hours of showings when its predecessor did $80m in 24 hours.not guranteed noctis. but it can happen. all depends on the movie fans and can they get off work etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Marston Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 87m. Higher than the first and not a good number? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cmasterclay Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 LOL, Variety. STFU and siddown until you give us a decent range. I thought all you IMAX people were saddled with the 6-min TOMORROWLAND sequence. That big IMAX subcharge and you have to watch six minutes of that fucking movie? Disney should be PAYING people extra to watch that, not the other way around. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoolioD1 Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 LOL, Variety. STFU and siddown until you give us a decent range. I thought all you IMAX people were saddled with the 6-min TOMORROWLAND sequence. I didn't see it in IMAX. was considering doing that later but you've successfully dissuaded me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spizzer Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Looks like the range is actually the same as Gitesh predicted earlier. No one is quite sure yet how the evening and night shows will shape up. No media outlet has a clue. It's astonishing that after all these years, they don't put the effort in for decent extrapolations, or better yet, make public the data they're extrapolating from. We could give a more precise projection/range if we were given Matinee gross. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neo Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 I don't know if I misread your post, but two pages ago you said that this is no way this would only do 89, and that the 89 number is grossly underestimated. So you seemed to be insinuating that it would be some crazy underperformance if this did 89 million today. But maybe I misinterpreted it. And I'm not attacking you, I'm debating you on a box office forum because I think your prediction is wrong. That's what we're here for. I think you read it wrong. Is this the post: IF it somehow does $89m, then the rest of the weekend would be: $89m $66m $53m $208m But that's only if the $89m actually happens.

Noctis Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 87m. Higher than the first and not a good number? FIVE EXTRA HOURS That means...if it were released at midnights (like normal films), then it would have done below TA1's OD!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#ED Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Variety really has this at 98M. I'm sending in my resume. I could write stuff like that too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could give a more precise projection/range if we were given Matinee gross. If they only had your resources we could have a running gross counter.

Cmasterclay Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Obviously it's a good number in a vacuum regardless, but that number is only "good" in relative terms (in comparison to the first) if it performs like the first over the rest of the weekend, which I doubt.
