The emoticon works wonders.

[Maxmoser3]

If Disney/Marvel is disappointed with this, this will have overseas collecting up most of it's money.

But don't you know that the fight deflated the weekend and cost it the OW record and we need an asterisk????

As long as it ends up outgrossing the first one worldwide, I think it gets a pass. Right now I see DOM ending around 480m and OS excluding China doing 770m. So it is all upto China. It will need to do 270m.

Reminder that BOM doesn't usually update the international numbers on a daily basis.

 

 

actual numbers:

 

 

@BoxOffice

AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON: $459.5M Overseas Total / $664.0M Global Total #Avengers #AgeOfUltron

 

 

 

Exhibitor Relations ‏@ERCboxoffice 13m13 minutes ago

#AvengersAgeOfUltron brought down the house on Monday, scoring $32.4M worldwide, bringing it's mighty total to $664M.

 

19.2M Monday OS

 

Not that it changes it's position in the tabe or anything

[Harpospoke]

Overreactions to box office numbers are similar to reaction of overzealous fans of sports teams. 

 

When the local team team wins, everybody is happy and it is a wonderful world.

 

The day after a loss, sports fans hog sports radio wanting to fire the coach, players, the referee and anybody else connected to their teams. The people who were termed geniuses the week they won would be termed absolute losers the week they lose.

Now THAT'S a great analogy.   Perfect.

 

Lack of pu**y makes you brave, man!

I had to look that one up.   Eddie Murphy!

 

So Furious 7 is 88M away from topping The Avengers WW total gross.

 

Wow...

 

So...this makes me wonder if any studio will ever fake the death of a star at some point.   Just pay him/her to go on vacation for a few months while the box office explodes.   

 

 

FURIOUS 7

Total Lifetime Grosses

Domestic:  $331,068,495    23.2% + Foreign:  $1,098,000,000    76.8% = Worldwide:  $1,429,068,495  

 

Marvel's The Avengers

Total Lifetime Grosses

Domestic:  $623,357,910    41.0% + Foreign:  $895,237,000    59.0% = Worldwide:  $1,518,594,910  

 

 

Gotta admit this makes me a little proud of North American audiences.

 

 

 

Now I'm wondering why Nolan fans are so loud about box office achievements for Nolan films.    Hmmmm...

 

But at least we know you don't think that way....

 

....

 

....

 

TDKR may stay in the top 7 domestic tho...

 

....Hey wait...

 

 

You are straight up delusional if you think AOU OW deserves an asterisk, fight or no fight it was not breaking the OW. And to even mention it in the same sentence as TDKR shows how delusional of a marvel fanboy you are. Those are world's apart in terms of what happened OW

True...the numbers actually show the effect of the fight.  (on all the movies)

Opening post was made to soon. lol

[miketheavenger]

$12.9M from Gitesh

The 13.2m are solid though. Summer openers always drop big on their first Monday. It should at least stay flat today.

[PDC1987]

The mods seem to be in fine form this weekend with their subtle trolls. First #ED, now Tele.

It's not trolling if it's true.

[TServo2049]

Out of curiosity, I looked at BOM's non-holiday Monday list, and here's what it looks like if you take out legitimate "summer weekdays" (June-August, when schools are actually out), and Mondays during Christmas/winter break, spring break, Thanksgiving week, Veteran's Day, or any other Mondays that would be boosted by people being off school or work.

1. TA1 $18,989,999

2. Revenge of the Sith $14,352,807

3. AoU $13,228,555

4. Shrek 2 $11,512,320

5. IM3 $11,267,610

6. SM1 $11,034,785

7. Phantom Menace $10,881,272

8. Hunger Games $10,823,788

9. Attack of the Clones $10,660,341

10. SM3 $10,285,268

And I'm not sure about THG; since not everybody does spring break the week after Easter, could that have benefited from some people being off school? (If you discount THG, The Passion of the Christ moves to 10th, and that was over a month before Easter, so AFAIK nobody was off school/work on that Monday...)

Also, still amazing that over half of the biggest full schoolday/workday Mondays predated 3D or (any significant) IMAX. And if you adjust for inflation, it goes:

TA1

Sith

Menace

SM1

Shrek 2

Clones

Matrix Reloaded

Passion

AoU

SM3

Weekend frontloading has certainly increased over time; of the biggest nobody-off Mondays by admissions, 8 predate 3D, only three happened in the last decade, and only two happened in the last 5 years. So as those big May OWs have gotten bigger, they seem to have sucked more business out of Monday. (Perhaps the increase in aggregate seating capacity per day for big openers siphons off weeknight spillover business? Similar to how internal frontloading has increased due to more screens and more seats leading to fewer sellouts and less spillover into Sat/Sun?)
