Weekend Actuals (Page 75): X-MEN 103.3M OS OW | Angry Birds 38.15M | Captain America 32.9M (Ahoy Matey!!) | Neighbors 21.7M | The Nice Guys 11.2M | Jungle Book 10.9M

Their criteria was 60M in 2002 dollars or which year the article came out. R&J is 89M with inflation now, and would have been 52,000,000 in 2002 dollars.

Regarding the Civil War numbers, they are in no way a failure nor is the movie underperforming. It was just the hype/tracking and critical and audience reception that had a lot of folks thinking Marvel could grow their audience and I think what we're seeing now is that 1.3 or 1.4 is probably the absolute maximum at this point for an Avengers related tie-in. 

 

The reason the trolls are out in full force is a combination of things but Marvel fans can't be spending weeks telling people that $875M for another movie is a "flop" but $1.1B is fantastic.  It doesn't make sense. $1.1B is fantastic and $875M is really really good.  It's only a disappointment because of how much sources have said that WB spent on production/advertising. 

 

This back and forth between fans was always terrible. I imagine the crossover between the two franchises is massive so its just an odd thing. Personally, I want both of them to do well.

Go away. People who use logic aren't welcome here.

50 shades of grey was aesthetically pleasing (besides the play room shit) but it was a disappointing ass movie.

That's because the fairer sex always wins. Truth.

Civil War isn't a disappointment but it's not exactly breaking out to new levels of success either if we do consider this movie another Avengers clone. It's doing in line of expectations, profitable for Disney but not letting the saturation arguments go away either. Welcome to the forums btw @Johnny Tran.

Oh man, the Star Wars threads are gonna be hilarious here, like this is gonna be stuff of legends.

 

I predict suicide watches when Episode 8 "only" opens to 208m OW and drops to a dismal 600m ...

I predict a higher opening than that but worse legs. $600m seems about right as of now.

Are Star Wars fans more irritable than Marvel/DC fans?

I really liked both The Nice Guys and Neighbors 2 it's a shame both of those aren't making more $$$$. 

[Maxmoser3]

I'm not doing the stuff about the weekend for this weekend today. Just Angry Birds will leg and make $140 million domestic, Neighbors 2 should make between $60-$70 million domestic. The Nice Guys should make over $30 million domestic. Overall, May 2016 is going to be the least attended since between 2005-2006.

There was some pretty heavy bashing of people with mixed/negative thoughts on TFA, I'd say they are just as bad & I love the whole saga in general.

Not really but they will make the same mistake, consider that 900m dom & 2B WW is the new normal for the franchise and consider anything that is not close to that a disapointment.

I think most Marvel fans think $1.1b is fine, but nothing to write home about. I don't see many people calling $875m a flop and $1.1b AMAZING. More like $875m is a disappointment while $1.1b is just good enough. Assuming the same budget which is already questionable since BvS has been rumored to be more in the realm of $300m.

[GiantCALBears]

$1b WW isn't what it used to be, I think that isn't stated enough. It's a great number but it's no longer "HOLY BLEEP," fot major studio releases.

$1.5m is the new $1b now. (Not as sexy-sounding of a number, tho.)

Absolutely, considering the story behind Furious 7 & that franchise in general, it's the "HOLY BLEEP" threshold.

[moviesRus]

The fact that Disney will have 3 x $1 billion movies by the 1st half of 2016 mark already says a lot about how that milestone isn't that hard anymore. 

 

Granted, I'm sure many other studios are not feeling the same way. I'm sure Fox would love for just one of their X-Men films to get to that sweet $1b mark.
