Weekend Actuals:TASM 62.0M/137.0M,TED 32.2M(-41%), Savages 16.0M

hilarious. This will make close to or surpass 900M WW and it's some kind of box office disappointment and the sequel is in doubt when other movies that make way less and also had big budgets and marketing costs (Star Trek 2009, Batman Begins, Thor, Captain America) are all hits with guaranteed sequels?

You know, HATRED blinds people.

[tonytr87]

uh Batman Begins had a budget of 130M hardly a big budget compared to TASM.

Also, Thor, Captain America, and Star Trek had budgets of no more than 150m.

[Cedarpoint1111]

Fun fact just for shiz and giggles: TASM officially made less on OW than Thor and Captain America.

And TASM will make more than both of those films combined.

[tonytr87]

budget was 150M not including marketing, and there was a lot of marketing for that (whether it was good or bad marketing is not the point)

Budget for ASM was 200m+

[kayumanggi]

Oh right, forgot about that, good point.

So do you have a crystal ball? Is it a guarantee this is making close to, or surpassing 900M WW? The OS markets outside of Asia are doing weaker than expected, and we don't know yet what sort of legs the film will have.

Don't jump to conclusions yet.

This should apply to all.

Not domestically of course. AND THAT'S ALL THAT MATTERS!!!

[John Marston]

Also, Thor, Captain America, and Star Trek had budgets of no more than 150m.

230m is 80M more than than those films budgets and the difference in the actual worldwide box office will be at least 300M, probably higher.

TASM made more in 6 days than TIH in its entire run.(cold-objective-data-with-no-willing-to-start-war)

It went too far, I'll give you that. It was childish and stupid, I'll also agree with that. But I'm a man of my word. And that's all I truly have here, it doesn't matter to me if you respect me or not. I respect my word, and I hope the same in return.

For what it's worth, I guarantee Baumer and Shawn would have paid you if you won the bet.Baumer and AA still have that TASM over/under $260M bet. That should be interesting to watch.

TASM falling far short of most of the loonies predictions is helping me sleep just fine at night thanks.

Domestic grosses are very important, since as pointed out already, studios get a smaller cut of overseas grosses.

[Walt Disney]

Even if this fails to reach 300 M domestic or 1 B worldwide, is it a failure? NO? Of course it will disappoint some but the inevitable is going to happen: THE SEQUEL

If your goal was a sequel, you won that before the movie was ever released. Everyone else was debating the domestic box office and how well TASM would perform.

[JackO]

I did not attack people because they were predicting less than 300 M. The argument was because of your, their attitude towards the film. It's not the predictions, it's the attitude.

Tell me, was your attitude towards this film, not full of hatred?

After seeing this I made myself clear that the only number I care for is one that is enough to make a sequel.

I did not like the trailers, clips, etc released by Sony. I thought it showed obvious flaws.Flaws there were later proven to be from Sony's meddling as proved by Vulture, indirewire, et al. Am I not entitled to my opinion?

[Cedarpoint1111]

Pretty sure only one loony was predicting 400m. That hardly qualifies as most.
