Noctis Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 AoU's at $875m WW. Surprised it didn't hit a little over $900m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAJK Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 So... Ray's gone for good? Feels like a chapter in my life is done Although I did like this weekend report a bit, just wish they did a bit of long-term projecting... Also, are we going to start getting forecasts and Friday reports etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kvikk Lunsj Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Yes.. And so it'll take a week longer to do it this time thanks to China and it's release date.. For INFINITY WAR, I'd like to see a 1 release date for EVERYONE Worldwide instead of the way they did this time out.. 1 Simultaneous release for all.. China decides when to release movies in China not Disney. So a Simultaneous release will most likely never happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
straggler Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 It was inevitable that Avengers 2 would come back to earth. The novelty has worn off and the market has been saturated with films from the same characters (IM3, THor2, CA2). They'll make a billion dollars anyway.

#ED Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 I'm all up for opinions, but calling TDKR a POS only attracts attention and is never taken seriously. With that said, TA2 is a good movie, just isn't the novelty the first one was. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iceroll Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 (edited) Eh, this new Keith Simanton's articles read weirdly. He needs to work on his wording because it doesn't flow well. EDIT: What the fuck is this sentence? " But, to put things in further perspective that 59.6% is nowhere near the drop the previous #1 weekend-record slot took, a film not in the Marvel Universe, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2."

Yeah, as soon as I read that I was like wait...what? What exactly was the purpose of bringing up DH2's drop compared to this? They're incompatible films to compare at the B.O. He sounded like a Marvelite who just got into a random fanboy war with Noctis, lol. And no sir, DH2 was not the "previous #1 weekend-record slot", whatever the hell that even means.

mahnamahna Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 At least Avengers 2's underperformance ($450 million instead of $520-560 million) will allow Mad Max, Tomorrowland and San Andreas to potentially break out a little bit. All three will benefit from Ultron's hype being totally wiped out last weekend (NBA semi-finals, Mayweather, the draft, etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because PP2 will do well, so all parts of AoU's audience will bleed out, except for the kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel M Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Why didn't we see it sooner though? Because hindsight. After AOU's performance it's obvious that TA was the ceiling and the boost it gave was spread around all of phase 2 movies. But before AOU you had every sequel after TA increasing like crazy and by the time GOTG exploded (a movie I'm sure half of its audience had no idea it had anything to do with MCU besides the same company logo at the start), you wouldn't be completely illogical to think that marvel movies will keep getting bigger until an Avengers 3 or 4 reaches Avatar levels WW. You would be wrong, but not illogical given the circumstances. Remember this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lshDoznobxw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAJK Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 The report came pretty early this weekend, so maybe it was just rushed, and that's why the word and sentence structuring was a little off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
