Well I screwed up.  There were no sell outs at my theater yesterday and now both Imax showings are sold out. The next one is at 2am. I never buy presale tickets. Now I have to see it in reg 2D. Hope its not sold out by the time I get there. 2 later 2D showings are already sold out.

Looking forward to taking part in this legendary thread. That said, I'm staying out of it until my 8pm showing because I got way too much shit to do with finals.

 

However, it is weird to think how a lot of us called Civil War being much more hyped than Age of Ultron. I've heard so much more about it these past few weeks compared to last year with Avengers.

 

(And with that, I jinxed it so it will open lower than AoU )

Tele let you down.

Well, I usually rely on box office websites for opening weekend predictions because they know better than me about this stuff, but if you told me to decide on a figure for CW entirely on my own, I'm going to say a pessimistic $199M.

How very Zach Rand Snyder of you.

The Day after Tomorrow is so random, they needed to switch the leads. Great idea for a huge disaster movie, our main character has to lock himself up in a room by a fire! Genius!  The stakes are soooo high

To be fair, the dad is also co-leading the movie. This is still a flaw though, you're right. I love the movie nonetheless

Squad, BFG, Dory, Bourne, Pets, Conjuring, Sausage Party, Kubo = the ones I'm actively rooting for

X-Men, Nice Guys, Shallows, Infiltrator, Star Trek, Free State = the ones I'm quite interested in but not quite OMG hyped

Neighbors 2, Mike & Dave, ID4-2, Lights Out, Money Monster, Pete's Dragon, Popstar = the ones I'm either iffy or more indifferent over, but also rooting to be good

Warcraft, Ghostbusters, Angry Birds = the ones who look like they're gonna suck balls, but I really wish that doesn't happen

Everything else = meh who cares

[Water Bottle]

At this point in time domestically BvS had made $0.

 

Civil War has made $0 so far.

 

So far, the two are on equal footing.
