Elessar Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 The same thing will likely happen to Avatar 2 and everyone will flip out crying flop when it "only" does 400 or 500m or so. Not me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Futurist Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 No it wouldn't. It'd still be the second highest grossing Marvel film and the first was a box office phenomenon. Its a precedent for sequels to major phenomenons to have large drop offs no matter the quality. Just because it's not a phenomenon doesn't mean the gross is huge, we just all had too high expectations (I'll admit I fell into the incorrect thinking lightning could be caught twice) Examples Jurassic Park to Lost Word (Adjusts 700m to 229m) Star Wars to Empire Strikes Back (adjusts 1.1b to 630m, but the number of the first is lower due to re-runs technically either way still huge drop in attendance) Raiders of the Lost Ark to Indy 2 (adjusts 620m to 430m) Phantom Menace to Attack of the Clones (689m to 422m) Jaws to Jaws 2 (1b to 270m) The Dark Knight to The Dark Knight Rises (603m to 467m) Batman to Batman Returns (511m to 318m) Pirates 2 to Pirates 3 (525m to 365m) The Godfather to Godfather 2 (638m to 206m) Shrek 2 to Shrek 3 (576m to 381m) The same thing will likely happen to Avatar 2 and everyone will flip out crying flop when it "only" does 400 or 500m or so. Really, nothing's gone wrong, Avengers 2 is behaving "normally". Almost was a key word. Of course some sequels dropped more but it s still a bit disappointing in the end.

movieboner Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 I could never believe that F7 will beat Avengers: Age of Ultron. One to two years ago, people were predicting $2 billion ww, $580 mil dom, and a $220 mil opening weekend for TA2. Looks like F7 has a very high chance of defeating the box office juggernaut. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krissykins Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Time to stop expanding Ex Machina. It's in over 2000 places with less than $2k PTA. Stop wasting money to try and get a hit A24. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mockingjay Raphael Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 So.... With A2 dropping 60% without any competition, ppl still believing that MJ1 only had good legs because of the lack of competition? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LexJoker Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Why are some people bothered by the comparison of TA2 and TDKR? Do we need to compare TA2 to Hot Tub Time Machine 2? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
