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

[spizzer]

$65mil Saturday$45mil Sunday$185mil weekendIf people really do think this will get $200mil then all the power to you but it won't.

That adds up to 190M not 185

[FilmBuff]

There's a reason why people call it "The Ang Lee Hulk"

[ddddeeee]

I havent seen the Ang Lee version either...

It's polarising. It doesn't know whether it's a summer blockbuster or a psychological drama. It doesn't really exceed with either, but I admire it for trying to do something more than standard summer fare. TIH tried to be generic summer fare and barely suceeded with that.

[riczhang]

Not for sure.

True, but 70 million isn't impossible, and even if it doesn't it'll be within like 1 or 2 mil, and that's still equally crazy.

[Jawa]

I haven't seen the 2003 Hulk movie in a while, and while it's not horrible, it's way more depressing than it needs to be. And the Hulk looks like the Jolly Green Giant.

[Fake]

Gotta go to sleep now.... what a fun day!!

oops yes it does, $190mil it is then.

I guess it's a movie you have to see just to form an opinion on it, like Crash (which is shit)

[Noctis]

I actually don't think that about Ang's Lee Hulk.

[herrmike]

I'm putting my cred on the line and predicting at least 205. Thankfully I have no cred so if I'm wrong too bad.

[ddddeeee]

There's more creativity in the opening credits to Ang Lee's Hulk than there is in all of TIH.

Crash was completely deserving of the BP win. One of my favorite BP winners ever. Brokeback Mountain was also worthy of a win.

[Shawn Robbins]

Avengers basically needs to sell more tickets today and tomorrow than Spider-Man did in 2002 on the same days. Spidey with 3D adjusts to roughly $67.6 million -- that's the minimum I see Avengers doing today if these early sellouts continue into the evening shows.

[Biggestgeekever]

$67m is probably the minimum this can get and still allow $200m to be in play for the weekend. $80.5m$67m$53m$200.5mAnd that's really the absolute best Sunday drop possible.

[herrmike]

It's solid until the end, which is crap.

[Jack Nevada]

Crash was preachy and manipulative. It had a few touching scenes and good acting, but it felt like a lecture on racism or a movie that you'd see in school.

[herrmike]

Saturday is when all us old geezers with kids made plans to go see it.

[Lordmandeep]

My projection as of now...80.5 million62 million45 million -27%187.5 millionStaying conservative to be surprised..Another barometer for Saturday50 million IM2 Day business, 61.8 million TA day businessIM2 Saturday 52 million, 64 million Saturday looks good...

[DoctorWho]

Damn, i was away for a while and this thread exploded....i had 31 page to read...you guys really rock!

[seanbyc]
