AOU flopped. BvS shouldn't be aiming for that

 

[aliadiere29]

Batman v Superman's first goal is to get over a billion..... anything over that is a bonus.

If AOU is a flop then we have to downgrade all verdicts.

JW's dom is above-average and SW7 is a solid mid-level hit.

Seriously. It's like some of you are absolutely deluded as to how box office works.

Of all the threads that you can tag me in, why must it be this hell hole?

So, it's time to rename this thread "Civil War > BvS" right? 

[John Marston]

my thoughts have no changed. BvS over CW domestically but CW should beat it worldwide

[Kvikk Lunsj]

Hoping for CW to get panned like BvS the forums will be hilarious. It would be great if movies like Deadpool, SS, and Dr. Strange all get great reviews but the two big blockbuster get trashed.

Civil War is gonna be a terrific movie even if it s over Buckie.

All movies no matter how good they are, will always get a bad or mixed review and CIVIL WAR won't be any different, BUT It's not going to be scathing like the reviews for BvsS are...

I know it won't just imagine the meltdowns if it was. It would be hilarious if the critics hated but the audience loved. That why the audience could be happy how the movie turned out. 

[Daxtreme]

Whelp, time to join CW over BvS clubs I guess.

 

If it doesn't happen on OW it will happen on DOM total.

Spider-man, Black Panther, Ant-Man, much better quality, more buzz, more compelling conflict, better trailers...

Doens't have more buzz, we don't know quality, and 2/3 of those charecters mean shit all to anyone. Spider man is a plus but the lack of thor and hulk might cover that in addition to AOU more tepid reaction. The cast is the exact same and this is a direct sequel. It may out earn AOU but it will not open higher than it

Early reports are saying CW is really good so good buzz is coming.

 

Characters like Black Panther and Ant Man who can carry their own movie will fill seats far better than the side characters (Scarlet Witch, Quick Silver, lol) added to AOU.

 

Kids love Spider-man and we've already seen Hulk and Thor fighting with the Avengers. Spider-man with the Avengers is brand new territory.

 

JW was a direct sequel to JP3.

If black panther opened right now it would flop ant man was a mid size hit

[grey ghost]

AOU made 1.4 billion with poor exchange rates.

 

If that's a flop then 99% of all movies are flops.

Black Panther has a wider and more rabid fanbase than Ant-Man ever did.

 

And Ant-Man had some of the best legs of any Marvel comic book movie.

 

It opened around Green Lantern numbers and made almost as much as 22 Jump Street DOM.

Nobody knows the charecter. He isn't a draw he's in this movie to boast his solo movie after

Nobody knew Antman... nobody knew the GOTG... nobody knew IM.

 

Marvel has done an outstanding job of talking unknown characters and making movies the GA likes.

 

I would expect the Black Panther to do as well as Antman... maybe better if he is well received in CW
