Amazing Spider-man had to compete with TDKR in its third weekend and it got crushed, -70%

TDKR itself had to compete with.....James Holmes.

R.I.P for Aurora's victim.....about 5 years from the incident

That's probably got to be one of the worst I've ever seen a film hold up against a new opener

Well, remember, there was more to than just TDKR. That tragedy in Colorado impacted box office very negatively that weekend/week. Also, let's be real here, Justice League share nowhere near the hype of Dark Knight Rises, the followup to the one of the most, acclaimed CBM movies every made.

Thor Ragnarok will definitely take a sharp hit with JL no matter what

 

 

it will also lose screens fast

 

 

it will be the lowest grossing superhero film of the year easily

Thor 3 might have done SS numbers to $350M domestically in August and have a relatively leggy run too. But it's too early to judge now. For all we know Disney might fire all canisters and Thor opens like IM2 ($125M+ OW but that's the maximum). Still Thor is at least guaranteed for DS numbers, if Black Panther stayed in November it would have done TIH numbers.

Holy shit. I think Ragnarok will do very well. And, I'm generally pretty bullish on most MCU stuff. But, what the? Why? The last one did $206M DOM. $325M+ to $350M DOM? I guess I just don't buy that at all. Well, at least until proven otherwise.

Dark World had to face Catching Fire, $167M+ OW DOM adjusted for inflation. And, again, if it wasn't a dud - generally considered one of the least liked MCU films by casual moviegoers - it would've easily grossed $225M+ DOM.

JL,Thor ,HG:CF .... What does two of these three films have in common?

No way Thor does under Lego Batman.

I'm sorry but maybe it's the 117 SM:Hc opened to that has me concerned about Thor.

Easily? You think it will come in well under Logan's $226M DOM? I'd say it will place ahead of Logan but behind everything else. But, man, everything else is Wonder Woman $405M+, Guardians Vol. 2 $390M+, Spider-man Homecoming $310M+ and whatever Justice League - likely $350M+. I think it would've came in behind them all regardless of release date.

Thor uno is pretty lame. Can't help but think Kenneth could've done something more interesting with it. 

 

Thor dos flat out sucks

I loved Logan but if Thor 3 can't outgross it after the reaction to that trailer then something more than tough competition has gone wrong.

Thor never had a shot a 350mil no time of year.

The top 3 movies overseas for 2017 are Fate of the Furious, Beauty and the Beast and POTC5.

 

The top 3 movies DOM are Beauty and the Beast, Wonder Woman and Guardians vol 2.

 

Tomato Law says American audiences have superior taste.

Tomato Law is also based nearly exclusively on American critics... try finding all the Chinese reviews on RT. For all you know the Chinese reviews for Pirates of the Caribbea are better than the reviews for Wonder Woman.

 

It's all a matter of perspective.

Spider-Man in hindsight we should have expected some frontloadedness. Thor I think can still pull of some big numbers on OW.

GOTG and SS did that thanks to a weak Summer. I think Thor might have gone the distance in August but that's just me.

The first Thor desperately wanted/needed to be a fish out of water comedy, but Marvel clearly stepped in at some point and said 'sorry Kenneth, we gotta get on with the plot.'

Catching Fire was huge. Tons of people saw it. It was a phenomenon. It's possible that Justice League will not match it's number unadjusted DOM, let alone adjusted. Catching Fire is an action sci-fi blockbuster that was greeted with overwhelming critical acclaim. It's wasn't Beauty and the Beast. There was definitely overlap in the audience for Dark World and Catching Fire.

350 dom is totally possible with a more favorable release date.

Thor has never had mass appeal imo. Hes boring in stand alone.

IK it would have been one of my crazy predictions if that happened.
