They should've just titled it MARVEL'S CIVIL WAR.. That solves that right there and there's no confusion..

But they can't since the actors contracts especially Chris Evans has him in three Captain America movies.

Yeah what I mean who the film didn't meet their expectations at the box office are now back pedaling going "wow this is an amazing gross since this is a Captain America movie, not an Avengers film"

 

I've always been on the "around IM3 OW" group. $200 million never seemed impossible to me though, just highly unlikely.

[DAR]

Oh so the new debate for the next few years will be whether this is a Cap movie or an Avengers movie?

 

Put me down for a third option, who really gives a fuck.

I'm with Tele on this one.. I just couldn't get into GOTG.. The Soundtrack had some great 70's music though, so there's that..

 

You and Tele in agreement over a Marvel movie?

I'm saying it's a great number for a Cap movie and an Avengers movie. Why? If it makes 180mil that's only 11mil less than Age of Ultron. 11mil could account for the small percentage of people who think it's just a Cap movie. It's not like everyone watches tv, and the full trailers are fairly Cap-centric. Regardless, 180mil is great.

Yes, lots of people are predicting JL to make less than BvS

 

That's the best part....we get to find out what happens.   Predictions are good for "disappointment", "expected", and "exceeded expectations"...but then we find out what the public REALLY thinks.    So some are trying to say this is the new normal box office for Avengers I gather?   That's gotta be what this is about.   So we also have to say the BvS box office is normal for Justice League movies.

 

Now let's see if that holds up when the real Avengers and JL movies come out.

[tonytr87]

Additionally, a lot of people here claim that Age of Ultron had mediocre word of mouth after OW. So retaining a majority of that audience is pretty great I think. The novelty has worn off too. You can't expect 200mil for every major blockbuster. Those predictions were dumb to begin with.

We then have to assume the JL movie will open the same or less than BvS and the next Avengers movie will open the same or than than CW?    

 

That better happen to support all these claims that CW is an Avengers movie.

 

Infinity War has always been Marvel's end game. Adding in the Guardians of the Galaxy characters, possibly a few other newbies, and with potential to leave the Earth setting I think it will do monster numbers.

$180m is great for any movie period, it just looks underwhelming cause we all got hyped up with these insane $215m predictions. The first Avengers movie was a big cultural phenomenon. Sequels pretty much always under perform compared to the first in those situations. I guess ESB and ROTJ's box office performances would be considered disappointing compared to Star Wars then.

If it opens to 180....what do you guys think this will make in the long run WW?  A billion is still a lock right?

Tom Holland is cute af and lucky enough to be in the first SM movie that accurately depicts the diversity of Queens.

I love diverse queens.

[Deathlife]

I never saw this an Avengers movie. However, even looking at it as an Avengers movie, it's still a very good opening.

 

People (as usual) just got their expectations too high. Boxoffice.com is guilty of this too. Unfortunately, those with the looniest predictions tend to be the loudest on these forums.

 

Im not sure exactly where boxoffice.com they got their $215m prediction from.  Anyone who said $200m was the floor was just overestimating what a lot of people already knew, it wasn't a true Cap sequel neither was it a true Avengers movie.

We'll know a lot more after today and Sunday, but for now, yeah, that looks like $1.2B is a safe bet.

I still think this will be #1 of the summer unless Finding Dory explodes.
