I don't believe in some of your low-ballings of some films here.

"This film is not gonna do that much." & "That film is not even doing that much."

I'm sorry..but they're not gonna do exactly what you think they will gross. Which is the lower gross.

They're not doing disappointing numbers. Keep in mind, the studios will do everything in their power to market their films well.

So I don't see where Ant-Man misses $200M or Minions missing $300M.

We'll see who's right then I guess.

[Ethan Hunt]

That's too low, IMO.

It's almost as much as what GOTG did in 4 days.

Ant-Man has no where near as much appeal as GOTG

I enjoyed going to some animated movies 15 years ago. Don't have any interest now, aside from the occasional Pixar.

 

Exactly.  I was always pretty much just a Pixar guy for the longest time, refusing any of the shit that Dreamworks poops out(save the Dragon films).  But I love Frozen(Wreck-it Ralph and Big Hero 6 were okay) and Lego, and The first Despicable Me was very entertaining.  DM2 was crap, but I really can't wait for Minions.

I'm comparing the father franchise to the spin off. Only compare a like with a like, not an apple with an orange. Compare Inside Out with Brave (last original Pixar movie). 16.6m views with two weeks left to 15.4m views for Brave. Even if it only gets to 17m views that'd be an 11% increase on Brave. Plug that into the gross and you get Inside Out doing 73m OW. All it needs is a 4 multiplier to hit 290m, which funny enough is exactly where I have it at.

I seem to remember something different with The Avengers, but I can't find the trailer I was thinking of. Ah well.

 

I have Inside Out opening at 74M, but I don't think a 4X is happening. 3.3-3.5X for a 250ish finish.

You don't think it will? lol.

That's also like right inline with the middle of their pack.  They have astonishing consistency.

It's your opinion. Not a fact.

[Deep Wang]

Nobody thought GOTG had any appeal before it came out.

 

Not saying Ant-Man will, just stating the fact.

[Travod]

Antman will make 150m if it's lucky.

[Ethan Hunt]

It's your opinion. Not a fact.

What? I'm not speaking about how I feel about the film.(I'm somewhat interested in it) just an observation on others seem to feel about it and logic.

[MrFanaticGuy34]

Wow! Now we get people underestimating Marvel. :0

[MrFanaticGuy34]

Antman will make 150m if it's lucky.

By "lucky", do you mean you don't want it to do big business?

[Ethan Hunt]

A talking tree and a smartass raccoon? That always had the chance to sell.

A man that turns into an ant? People seem to hate it. None of the people from the group I saw Age of Ultron were interested in it and most of them said it looked stupid.

[Travod]

By "lucky", do you mean you don't want it to do big business?

I don't care how it does, I just think it'll bomb.

[Ethan Hunt]

By "lucky", do you mean you don't want it to do big business?

It has nothing to do with desire its just logic man.

[Mr Terrific]

$58/$147m is the early number for AM on box office.com.

[MrFanaticGuy34]

I don't care how it does, I just think it'll bomb.

Again...it's only your opinion.

Just saying.

[Ethan Hunt]

$58/$147m is the early number for AM on box office.com.

I'm thinking about 45/120M

[DarthPhil]

I genuinely have no idea about AM, it's too early to say and we've all seen the power of Marvel with what it did for GotG which many people thought was a huge risk.

 

What were the early tracking numbers for GotG?

A talking tree and a smartass raccoon? That always had the chance to sell.

A man that turns into an ant? People seem to hate it. None of the people from the group I saw Age of Ultron were interested in it and most of them said it looked stupid.

The tree and raccoon were two of the biggest reasons people were saying GOTG was going to tank.
