May 4, 2012 Weekend (AVENGERS Opening Discussion): ACTUAL 207.4 mill!!!!

[riczhang]

So this is going to hit 200m on the OW no doubt.

Nope, it has a good chance if SAT is at ~70M, but it could still mis.

[DAR]

Disney will likely have the biggest flop of the year and could have the biggest hit of the year. Has that ever happened for a studio?

[JJ-8]

Hmmm. Not much changed since I last accept Nikki has bumped hers up to 68m+

[Sims]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Dunno about studios but the same thing happened to Sandra Bullock. Razzie, and Oscar in one year. :D

[fishstick]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

You`re on 201.

And public humiliation, too.

[riczhang]

Well that page was blasted through in like record time.

[Heretic]

Ok, so if we take the middle value.Fri: 80.5mSat: 69mSun: 48.3m (-30%)197.8m. Worst case scenario.Sun: 53.8m (-22%)203.3 b3st case.

[eXtacy]

80.5 FRI + 69 SAT + 50.5 SUN (26.8% drop) = 20026.8% drop is definitely doable.

[The Futurist]

Without 3d, TDKR won't top this.

[riczhang]

And public humiliation, too.

Yup, but that everyone in Holllywood's already forgotten. Short term memory loss. :lol:

[Fake]

Disney will make sure it does not miss 200M.PR FTW!!

I'm sure if it came close to 200M, they'll find an entire new state if that's what is needed. :P

If you are Disney what are you going to do in the next 4-5 hours if it looks like the drop will be in the 25-30% range? Give the estimate as 198 or 201?

Over if the OW is above 200M or below 140M. Under if it's between those numbers. So probably under.

201, that might get additional moviegoers,

[Gideon]

DC needs to change Nolan, Goyer and Snyder's "vision" and make them understand that Superman is supposed to be the first of many movies that exists in a newly created movieverse. JLA will bomb and look like a copycat if they rush it. For something like this to work it needs build up, it needs anticipation. I've read that Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman are icons therefore people will be as excited for a JLA movie as they are for The Avengers, nothing is further from the truth.

Sooo right.

We will never have 2 sets of DC heroes: the "auteur" one and the "studio" one. DC must work with directors-actors like Marvel did but without the "Uncle Scrooge" relation to money. (I mean...less than 1M for ressurected Rourke in a big tentpole?)

Estimate it at 199 and mention in the same sentence that it MIGHT even cross 200 with actuals and what a milestone this would be - so they can place a second article when actuals come in. cheap publicity (as if Avengers needed that)
