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

[fmpro]

BATMAN + SUPERMAN TOGETHER IN A MOVIE ALONE GUARANTEES 1 BILLION, DAMMIT!!

No doubt

[ecstasy]

Flash is a cool character. Wonder Woman? No.

[Noctis]

It is nowhere near as relevant as HP today. And I dare you to disagree with that!

Obviously it isn't, because nothing tops Potter as a worldwide phenomenon (the books + films doing what they did in fifteen years). Plus, Potter had the biggest influence on our generation. The Hobbit comes from a very different era, but its wide appeal is not to be doubted.

I don't think they mix well, nor would they. Avengers> (by a mile) Justice League

[Deep Wang]

Martian Manhunter over Aquaman any day of the week.Unless we're talking about James Cameron's Aquaman!

I'm not a big comic reader and all i remember of The Flash is that awful tv series, as for Wonder Woman........lol.

[theultimatebiu]

TA is a good film but it is just excellent dumb fun.

You have some good points but saying LOTR series is dimly remembered is not one of them. Everyone I know still remembers the LOTR films. Not as relevant as HP? HP had its last movie come out last year so of course it is in peoples minds

Martian Manhunter over Aquaman any day of the week.

Unless we're talking about James Cameron's Aquaman!

Thats a 2 billion worldwide film right there!.

[Heretic]

LOTR is not something you can forget. That's not possible. Just like Potter. It won't ever be forgotten.

The Pirates... what a failure!Chicken Run benefits have vanished, really.US people hate stopmotion?

Such a stupid fucking post from an airhead. Star Wars tops everything HP.

Oh PLEASE don't bring SW back into this.

[ddddeeee]

Oh PLEASE don't bring SW back into this.

Indeed. It's in another league in terms of impact so it has no place in this conversation.

TA is a good film but it is just excellent dumb fun.

I thought the film was great fun but i kind of get what you and Noctis mean. TA reminded me of a bigger and better made Iron Man film, the same light hearted tone but not much substance, just better made.I'm not hating on the film at all, its the best superhero film i have seen in a few years, i just don't think its very deep.

[Noctis]

Star Wars doesn't top Potter as a worldwide phenomenon. The books and films doing what they did in fifteen years far surpasses what Star Wars did in that time frame. Plus, Potter got a ton of kids into reading. That in itself is a phenomenon.

Fucking airhead.

[Chewy]

So a 192M gap between #1 and #2. lol

[riczhang]

This is actually really entertaining to read through. :D Wonder if it'll turn into this:

[The Dark Alfred]

JLA is not doomed because of GL. Hulk flopped for Marvel. I would say the pressure is on Superman to perform well, if that disappoints JLA probably won't happen until a Flash or Aquaman film breaks out.

Thought waiting til Sunday morning would mean no lines at Avengers. Instead, Star Wars style line.

Bigger than any other OW... But, this weekend was kinda pathetic, grossed only 40 something million if u take out the avengers.
