My $480m prediction of last week seems to be actually optimistic, if it follows the same trajectory of Civil War DOM, it may miss $800m at all. Shocking. it is not locked and it is likely to miss it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see spelling isn't your strong suit. You don't have to 'educate' me on the box office. I've been posting on these bom-like forums since like 2008. I'm well aware of how mcu films have played out at the box-office. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YM! Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 (edited) In holds, GOTG2 saw slight dips in Finland (-20%), Switzerland (-30%), France (-37%), Chile (-39%), the Netherlands (-43%), Australia (-43%), Bolivia (-43%), Brazil (-44%) and Venezuela (-45%). Overall when looking at last weekend’s openers, the drop-off was 52%. That’s slightly ahead of Captain America: Civil War which dropped 55% for the same suite of markets in weekend 2. Across Europe, the fall was 47% versus Civil War’s 59%. The movie held No. 1 everywhere except the Netherlands, Portugal, Turkey and Lebanon. The UK/Ireland, Germany and France are all tracking ahead of Civil War at the same point in releases. From DHD. Guardians is holding slightly better in Europe. I'll do a prediction later.

A DC-guy like him always badmouths almost all Marvel-films and their box office performance. Typhical biased much? With that said though....i don't think his so called "anecdotal evidence" makes sense. Youre exactly right. I'm putting these three on ignore. I'm tired of their antics. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keysersoze123 Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 its easy to extrapolate from this weekend. China will do x2. Russia/India will also do similar (may be slightly less). Other markets take out small ones should be leggy. Only Japan is left to open. Definitely sub 500m. Its not a bad number considering $ has appreciated significantly in quite a few markets( Pound and Euro cratered). Guardians is not that popular in Latin America unlike Iron Man/Avengers. Asia also its mid tier rather than uber BB territory. It has grown nicely in korea( I am thinking 3M+ admissions). But last one released in 2nd weekend of Roaring Currents and got crushed( In India we are seeing something similar with Guardians getting crushed by Bahubali 2). Overall gross close to 500m is fantastic. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plain Old Tele Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Moderation: I know I'm late to all of this but please, don't go after fellow posters just because of their taste in movies. No matter what we think, we're all biased one way or another. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a2k Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 365 Dom + 95 Ch = 460 So it needs 340 OS-Ch for 800 WW. Considering GOTG1 did 334 OS-Ch, that should be a walk in the park going by the rise in admissions, but exchange rates are playing spoil sport I believe? I think even on the high-end, 370 Dom + 100 Ch + 355 OS-Ch = 825 WW On the low-end, 350 Dom + 90 Ch + 335 OS-Ch = 775 WW 800, between those two figures, is a realistic target. I expect 800-810 WW. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a2k Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 (edited) Won't be surprised if no CBM crosses 850 WW this year. HomC at 260 dom + 150 Ch + 430 OS-Ch = 840 WW GOTG2 at 810 JL around 775 Thor3 around 750 WWOM around 675 Edited May 8, 2017 by a2knet 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is significant in the US (GotG1 adjusts from $334M to $364M), and even more so in many countries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Marston Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 will this even pass 800m worldwide I am wondering? Seems to be fading fast and China was kind of a bust for this type of movie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
