I hope not.

 Can you imagine if Deadpool and Apocalypse end up being the two biggest superhero films this year?

Called my theater up and they've sold a little under 40 tickets for the show in about 2 hours, perfect. 

Employee on the other end after hanging up: "What a weirdo."

he is going through a brain freeze like Rain Man and still saying it will make over $225 million and make $80 mil on Saturday and so on.  Then repeats that over and over

Not really. He is predicting a 85M saturday and a 75M Sunday. He has fully lost it.

Let's not forget this is a Captain America movie and not an Avengers movie.

 

Winter Solider made only 95M opening weekend. This film is on track to open in the 180s.

 

That's almost double the opening it's predecessor did and you guys call it a disappointment? 

 

I think you might have set your expectations to high and now you're just upset this didn't meet them. 

[Focus]

I don't blame TFA for over-expectations since it was always expected to do big numbers. Maybe not as huge as it actually did, but still big.

I blame JW. Since that movie over-performed out of nowhere, everyone expects any highly anticipated blockbuster to cruise pass 200m OW.

 

The #s for CW right now are great. Plain and simple.

[Frozen]

I went to see it tonight and it was sold out! Who would have thought a movie would be sold out in Louisvile, KY on Derby weekend?!  So I saw Keanu instead and it was so stupid. 

[Yandereprime101189]

Hell, those are great numbers. Should do just fine and really has the next two weeks to itself

[MrPink]

It doesn't get any better for Civil War, The Dark Knight Rises is on TNT, and Iron Man 2 on FX.

 

I mean, everybody is gonna be pinking for this tonight.

When people walk up to the box office to buy tickets do you think they are asking for tickets to see "Captain America" or "Civil War"?

I predicted that back around Deadpool. Still excited for it but will feel bad if it majorly underperforms and ends up being good.

Same here. It was never going to do CW and BVS numbers and after deadpool, I knew there was no way Xmen apocalypse was going to be as big. Infact, don't be surprised if ends up being the lowest grossing CBM of this year domestically.

Flop.

Awful numbers any way you look at it.

This will most likely prompt Marvel to cancel their slate.

What does this have to do with anything?

Well fuck, that's the 2nd showing of Civil War I've had to miss today. Never saw such a line at Eastgate since Twilight. 9:00 it is...maybe.
