I have similar numbers. The marketing has been absolutely atrocious in a whole new level.

Yeah the WC can go crazy tonight but everything is going to have to go right for it to reach TFA. Like every single little thing.

Presales will already account for a good chunk of that.

139m is going to be shit, but it's after all expected with the way sequels have been falling short of their record breaking

predecessors.

Dang it. I shouldn't have upped my derby predictions after the massive Australian OD and the 45+ by deadline. Still a great opening, though I would be lying if I didn't say that I am a bit disappointed.

[somebody85]

Without looking, I bet there were melt downs when the preview came in below 45. I remember some wanted it higher this morning.

I doubt it'll drop that badly, I think $150-160m personally but I do think Universal has dropped the ball marketing wise, it's a good thing it's got an early OS release because it'll be the only blockbuster for a whole film so it'll do huge business OS by default.

[Brainbug]

Just got back from it.

 

I loved it. 2nd favourite Marvel movie behind Ragnarok for me. Thanos and Thor i loved especially, but nearly all the characters were great. Will see it a 2nd time for sure.

 

Though i dont buy a multiplier of more than 2.4 for this movie. 600M DOM is pretty much dead (which doesnt matter at all, internationally its exploding). And my 224M OW Prediction still looks good.

Prepare for TOG yelling at you about the trailer being good.

True but walk up business will probably be strong too as it usually is and was with TFA and JW.

We'll see if this pulls an Ultron and estimates start lowering through the night or it pulls a JW and start increasing via rth.

Remember when they went to 15 different talk shows to have interviews for a fucking trailer? I still think it was weird.

The teaser is one of the worst if not the worst teaser I have ever seen for a major blockbuster. The final trailer is bombastically bad as well, just a goddamn editing mess with no sense of epicness. I cannot believe this is the same team who did the marketing for the first movie.

People were too busy laughing at Deadline to really get a good meltdown on, IMO.

 

(That and 39m is a really great number in and of itself)

[Jonwo]

I wonder if we'll see a DH2 style increase for the next film or if it'll stay flat or only have a modest increase OW wise.

I find it fucking hilarious people are already calling for an under 500 mil domestic take and the movie only been out its first fucking day. Chill it with the negativity.

Didn't turn out so great for all the box office gurus and their predictions last time around. DOM OW will be >150m - still a significant drop from JW but OS will make up for it.
