Wasn't Winter Soldier released during spring break for a lot people too.

 

Not to any sizable degree since it had a 73.5% drop on it's first Monday and did a 160% jump it's first Friday.   It benefited more later with Easter and school holidays.

This would be easy to answer if Feige hadn't seen the schedule of releases, chuckled, asked out loud "what were we thinking?", and removed Inhumans from it 

 

Then pencilled in Ms. Marvel.

Come on guys $90 ml is too hard for the doctor!! 70-80 $ is THE real OW

I think you have a point. In the past often ppl were very happy and as such optimistic after the first m´numbers got in. And then a bit disappointed at Monday.

 

Better to expect not too much, more to celebrate later on...

LOL. They've tried to make CheeseBurger happen for 10 years in the comics and failed (although not as miserably as with the Inhumans) and still won't give up. Tbf, she's not intrinsically flawed and boring like the slave-owning xenophobic Inhuman Royal Family and Brie Larson could make her viable paired with a good script so unlike the others this is not completely hopeless.

[Maxmoser3]

Solid results! Doctor Strange, Trolls, and Hacksae Ridge are all of to decent starts. 

[Jim Shorts]

I was the only one at the 9:30pm screening of Trolls last night.  Awkward.

I agree with you! Keep calm and celebrate after

You've been reading too many "The MCU is for kiddies" posts.

 

I think Beasts will skew older than Potter because the original core child/young teen group has grown but Potter still has a lot of young readers who love that world.

 

Marvel has been marketed to a younger audience than Potter/The Wizarding World. It's always been heavily popular with boys under 25, whereas the original Potter series was popular with females, particularly those over 25. 

 

The original franchise, books and films, were marketed heavily to tweens/teens/adults. Virtually the same audience. They're fairly maturely marketed for 4 quadrant blockbuster films, their main merchandising channel is through Hot Topic, where they sell adult clothing and are coming out with a Beasts fashion line. They're seldomnly marketed through toys and children's clothes, like Marvel or Star Wars. The Wizarding World skews more consistently older than Marvel. 

 

Fantastic Beasts is said to be capturing a lot of interest from females over and under 25

Kamala will prolly happen, she's popular, and a subtle way to back door Inhumans, if MCU is really that desperate for them.

Kamala is great. And if we take Loeb's recent comments as truth this Inhumans experiment should be over soon.

Kamala has real potential, they really should invest in that.

[robertman2]

I want a Kamala movie, if not a cameo in Captain Marvel

And at this rate, Marvel won't flop

Ike has been banished from the film side of the MCU so he doesn't matter.

 

President Trumperator will rectify that.

I hope Kamala can get her own movie. You can set her up in just one or two scenes in the Captain Marvel movie real easy.

Told @MrPink last night it was gonna do $90m, and he still doubts Strange's powah

Comics have a fan base that span generations, some going back 70+ years (when I saw TWS there were men in the 80s and 90s in Cap T-Shirts) and in many regards SH films are just the latest iteration of tent pole action films that have always attracted an adult and family audience.  Like Bond.

 

I was wrong though they don't skew 65% over 25, it's closer to 50-60% depending on the film - about what Potter hit by the end of it's run. 

 

http://www.thewrap.com/harry-potter-numbers-series-grew-older-bigger-better-29195/

 

The Potter fan base grew older with the films but started off very young skewing. (60% under 15 years old)

 

Quote

 

The Harry Potter franchise aged considerably over its 10-year, eight-film lifespan.

 

The audience for the two "Deathly Hallows" films — the last one opening over the weekend — were 56 and 55 percent over the age of 25, respectively.

That's quite a bit older than when the franchise debuted in 2002. At that time, 60 percent of the audience for "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" was under the age of 15, according to BoxOfficeMojo.com.

"Those 10-year-olds going to the first movie, holding the hands of their parents, ended up driving to the last midnight shows," noted Warner distribution chief Dan Fellman. "Along the way, we increased our fanbase." 

 

Indeed, defying the usual physics of aging, the series grew stronger both creatively and at the box office.
