But I think they will be great. And very roughly we’re looking at something like: 700m Dom 500m China 1.3bn OS - China Which gets us to 2.5bn. A little bit of over-performance in almost any location could get that a bit higher. 750-800m Dom isn’t impossible. The OS numbers are just insane in certain places. I feel like 2bn WW should be the expectation, but 2.2-2.5 isn’t that crazy either. Wow, I see that 1.3b OS-China prediction too ambitious. I will not say it is impossible because we still do not know how good legs will be, but for the moment I say that is too much. I think it has a real chance to beat Titanic (2.187b). We will see during next days if it is able to go beyond that point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Kay then. You can say it was "expected" that IW would break the DOM OW (and it was.... by some people, not by the majority or even half of everyone, myself included; hell, you were adamant that there would be meltdowns of disappointment), but pretty much nobody gave it a legit chance at making more than Fate Of The Furious WW, and especially as much as it did, due to China being MIA. It not only broke the record but it eviscerated it. Tomb Raider did the same as the 2001 movie, and considering what the Resident Evil movies have done (especially the last one, with an even smaller DOM intake) and what Rampage and Angry Birds and Warcraft and other video game movies have pulled off, TR was not an overperformance by any means. It was good enough, and that's it. I expected Avengers to be huge, and it is huge. I expected Tomb Raider to bomb and it did not. Therefore, TR did better than Avengers. And yes IW overperformed, I thought it would do more like 200M OW which would indeed have led to meltdowns which I was really looking forward to. But breaking even against all odds is a more impressive achievement, than doing 10% better than my estimate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come at me SW fans My brother and I were discussing the movie a couple of days ago and how his kids were gutted leaving the theater. Having lived through both eras we agreed Infinity War is this generation's Empire Strikes Back. Watch the potential spoilers when discussing the film please.

At the same time I don't think A4 is going to be like ROTJ because that movie ended on a good note with the good guys winning. I expect A4 to feel bittersweet of getting characters back and at the same time still losing some major ones. I think A4 will be more like Return of the King or HP DH. Some happiness, some sadness mixed in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But breaking even against all odds is a more impressive achievement, than doing 10% better than my estimate. I can see your argument, but I think there was more than enough evidence that Tomb Raider wasn't gonna flat out bomb. OS would more than likely save it even if it underperformed DOM (which...... I don't think it underperformed compared to expectations, but it sure did next to its budget). Reviews were just enthuasistic enough, if not quite great by any means, that it wouldn't pull an Assassin's Creed when it comes to WW total, and it would at least play well OS; and a 94M budget made it difficult for the film to be an outright money loser with a strong OS performance. Breaking even was definitely a step above that, but even its WW OW made it kinda clear that it would at least steer close to 300, slightly O/U the 2001 Jolie movie. So yeah, if your expectations were really that low, then I get it. But to me, IW's record massacre took me by surprise more than TR1 repeating the '01 film's business and doing good enough to break even. To each their own, though.
