That's so disappointing, I was expecting way more for an Avengers movie introducing Spiderman.

 

I'm glad I won a pass from Disney to watch it for free so I won't have to pay for it, because I have a feeling it will be boring.

LOL OK Napoleon.

Also I love how in that James Corden interview with Sebastian Stan sitting next to her she began putting the moves on him and he turned red.

 

It would be cool to see her and Douglas onscreen together again. I love that these movies bring so many stars back together.

Didn't her husband cheat on her after 13 years and they got divorced a year ago? I'm sure she needs some space right now and will gladly take a huge check for IW

It was with JLaw, too. Sly dog. But it ended because JLaw wasn't having it.

So this is disappointing but BvS did fine? LOL

 

Again, it has less to do with any objective financial analysis and more to do with the films that analysts' predictions would have compared it to. Batman v. Superman's most direct comparison was Furious 7, which means an OW of about $148M would have been considered on-track. It surpassed that with $166M. Meanwhile, the inflated projections for Civil War meant the most direct comparisons were Spider-Man and The Avengers, leading to OW expectations of around $205M. It fell well short of that inflated goal, hence the disappointment, even though from a financial standpoint it's actually in a better position than BvS.

LOL at this scene, it looks so fake

[tonytr87]

Gwen is right. Americans are obsessed with money. It's why our government is going down the toilet. Europeans know how to live. They work less and play more. 

[Blaze Heatnix]

Gotta love Forbes article about the numbers.

 

They said BVS drops hard against Civil War.

 

You can't get more biased than that. By the way, they were the ones saying Civil War would make at least 2 billion worldwide.

Well BvS dropped hard even against nothing but Zootopia's week 3 and The Boss... so.

[Maxmoser3]

It should get between $180-190 OW. That's not bad, and makes over $450 million domestic. It's a solid hit for Marvel. They should bring in also decent success with X-Men, and Doctor Strange this year as well.

That would be funny. Also 24 years ago Basic Instinct was #1 the first two weeks of what is now known as the big summer box office weekends.

[wileECoyote]

Still catching up with the thread but all in all a solid start.   Originally had it at IM3 numbers then 180 and after the reviews 190.  OS numbers were pointing around 180.  So overall, it met my earlier expectations.  I still think that this has a good chance to beat AoU for final DOM.

 

As as for marketing. Yeah it was pushed as Avengers 2.5.  The cast, press tours, posters, ads (United We Stand...).  Hard not to see that they were pushing Cap v Iron Man. The movie itself though is still very much a Captain America movie, with a lot of supporting character, and a great one at that. 

 

Catching it again tonight at 7:30 and may watch with brother and sister in law tomorrow.

Lol @ the title 

 

That's a decent number. 

 

Hopeful for a good increase today.
