$170 million to $175 million with those numbers.

 

Damn. Not even close to Ultron.

 

 

 

How? Why not 180

They are as bad as Ultron's numbers. Can you imagine owning a franchise that pulls 170M+ OW with every event movie and that shows no signs of slowing down? Sounds terrible.

What's imdb?

FWIW, the studio prediction itself was 175M. I think the box office sites like BO.com understandably reasoned that fantastic reviews + pseudo-Avengers film but in name = higher OW. In the end, should it land in the 180-190M range, that's great. It's making twice TWS' opening -- that is fantastic.

 

Expectations once again got carried away but that's not new.

I wouldn't rule out many DC hardcore fans skiping CW after the BvS war.
I'm one of them, before that I went to check every single Marvel movie.

They are not. But a lot of people got carried away with all the characters and reviews.

No one's saying it's flopping, just that it's below expectation and a little disappointing.

It's not, but it's disappointing. I guess Disney/Marvel should have incorporated the word 'Avengers' in the title to get the extra box-office flavour.

It would have done the same. Exactly the same.

The Force Awakens obliterated people having realistic expectations. Some "experts" say that Civil War had a chance at $200+ million, suddenly the numbers are flying and any sense of being realistic went out the window. Cue the ridiculous disappointment that it may "only" make like $180 million.

Says the person who thinks 180mil is a shitty number. 

It is compared to most predictions smart one!

[seduh]

That's a great number. It will surprass BvS on OW alone and also it has a good chance of opening over IM3. Remember that AOU was not very liked and this is called Captain America 3, i mean, $200 OW was very difficoult to get (only 3 movies did that in history). It has great chances of making more than AOU which is amazing

Almost every major outlet was predicting around 200m OW though.

It's below expectations.  People got carried away for a few weeks expecting insane over Avengers numbers.  Heck I even bumped my predict up to 185m because of the hype.  But it's not disappointing, a relatively light drop off from Age of Ultron is a great result for a semi-sequel.

[The Futurist]

People will realize how batshit insane the monsters of 2015 were.

Good number. I had CW's OW number at between IM 3 and AOU, and this is right where I expected it to be.
