Weekend Estimates: JW: 102 IO 91...RTH: Sun JW 38.3 | IO 25.3 with possible upsides PG 287, possible 107M for JW weekend

[Empire]

Hoping IO hits 35m. Reports like these give me hope.

That would be F'N awesome! Anything over 30M would be great to me!

[Fancyarcher]

At this point someone add Good Dinosaur to that list. 8th for the year. Now all we need are F7 to get re-released and America Sniper to be counted as a 2015 movie (and also re-released) and BAM!, Avengers in 10th. 

 

Don't forget, Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation will overperform like crazy, and bam, AOU is out of the top ten.

It won't make 150m, so you better prepare.

What?

No MCU film has done that poorly since 2008.

[Cedarpoint1111]

So basically ant-man could land anywhere from 100m-300m according to all the experts here. Glad we cleared that.

[Ethan Hunt]

Exactly.

As long as Civil War is an actual good film, the crowds will flock back.

The Avengers and Iron Man are both only decent and they're two of their two biggest films

[babz06]

If Ant-Man fails to do 200M (something which I am not predicting btw) this forum will collapse. 

I thought everyone was predicting below 200m anyways? if it breaks 200m would be a nice surprise at this point.

Civil War is in a weird position. SvB getting a head start in march, plus X-men Apocalypse a couple weeks later that could kill the legs.

Civil War =/= ASM2

Plus Pixels is gonna sell like crazy because nostalgia. AoU keeps dropping.

Ooooh... Yes please

[Fancyarcher]

Holy shit, the local theaters are all slammed with people both seeing IO and JW. 

 

It's gonna be an epic weekend at the box office.

I still believe what kinda stole the thunder from AoU was Furious 7.

Warner Brothers died pretty quick.

Warner Bros is having a good year though, with the exception of Jupiter Ascending and Hot Pursuit . their big films have been successful and they had the first breakout of the year with American Sniper which did $350m in January. The studios having lacklustre summers are Sony and Paramount although Sony and Paramount should do well with Pixels and Mission Impossible

[Mitch]

Anything over 30M is fantastic for JW.

agree! 

 

I am hoping RTH gives us 35. Holding out hope.

 

I just think Inside Out will be a major hit especially in China.

Nostalgia won't work for all movies. Pixels is one of them.

"Marvel erosion" = $450m/1.3+ billion

 

You guys read waaaaaaaaaaaayyy too much into these things. Avengers 2 is not the juggernaut everybody 100% expected. It made lots of money, but not that much money.

 

It's not the end of the world or anything, but that was supposed to be the guaranteed "nobody does better" film of the summer. And it didn't do that, mainly due to the fact that the film went over slightly lukewarm with audiences.

 

Disney can still save it from possibly going off a cliff in the future as long as they stop overly obsessing on making the MCU so incredibly hard-to-folow that their movies become an absolute mess... aka AOU.

That normal for any sequel to a record breaking film.

[Dark 33Legend of the Sith]

Been going over this for ages and atm don't see how IO doesn't do 30-32 , in fact I had higher numbers but brought it down (actually had done same with JW last friday but it even went higher than what I thought the higher result might be)

JW going with 31-35 for now

Ted 2 as well.

Pixels over Ant-Man. You heard it here first (?).
