I really thought it would make over 200M as well. Spider-Man wasn't advertised enough!

Congrats on the sex.

Don't worry, there has been 0 action here for like a year or something

Was she hot at least?

She was too far away.

 

Although nothing will beat when I saw Michael Jackson's This Is It in theaters years ago when this one woman in the middle of the auditorium got up from her seat and started dancing during "Billie Jean". I imagine the people around her were doing everything they could not to burst into laughter.

I've been busy having sex and watching basketball the last 24 hours. How's my $170m prediction doing? 

 

[filmnerdjamie]

It's very simple. 

 

This was being sold more as an Avengers film than a Captain America film. As Baumer showed all those one-sheets in an earlier post. To the point where it was being called The Avengers 2.5 internally and the fact that it is a Goddamn Avengers film when you actually see it.

Thor 3 won't sniff $300M. I do love the choice of director though. But, I say $250M+ DOM is likely though. I see Spidey coming in at just over/under $300M DOM.

Thor movies are atrocious.  I have no idea how they make the money they do.

TDW had the Avengers boost but some weak legs. Ragnarok looks to fix a lot of the issues the previous two had.

And don't forget, that 166M was inflated by Good Friday.

 

Well, but Easter Sunday vs Mother's Day Sunday balances things I guess.

What is this? I accept no trashing of Branagh's Thor 1.

On the hot topic of Avengers vs Captain America title, I know that one of my friends who went to see Avengers wasn't interested in this, because he doesn't like Captain America, so he figured the movie was gonna be all from his perspective, and he's not interested in that.

 

He's not wrong. He doesn't mind him in ensemble movies, but a movie where he's leading? Nope.

this discrimination

IMO, if there's no Hulk and no Thor, it's not an Avengers movie. That said, this obviously has lots of Avengers in it, but also obviously, Captain America is clearly the star of the movie, its central figure. At least that's how I saw it yesterday. 

 

So it is like a 1/2 Avengers film, IMO.

While I find Holland to be stupidly overpraised as Spidey (Yes, he's good especially bouncing off Downey but to say he's already better than Maguire and Garfield based on 10 minutes is fanboy bullshit), the goodwill from this will help. Plus the presence of Stark will be played hard in the marketing, regardless of if its a legit role or just a glorified cameo. So I'm with you on that figure.

It's a decent way to spend two hours, nothing really noteworthy outside of the SHIELD base.
