jb007 Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 I'm tired of hearing about F7.. If it weren't for Walkers death, this movie wouldn't have done any better than the other 6 movies.. That power of Death, that eulogy... The makers of that franchise will milk the shit out of his death to for the next movie.. FF7 was obviously helped in a big way by Paul Walker's death. That was true of TDK also, though some tried it play it down. The Nolan Batman series got a huge lift from Heath Ledger's death and FF7's performance reinforces that assertion completely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jb007 Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 BTW, it is ridiculous to expect any movie including AOU to perform like FF7 in China and some other countries. FF7 was a phenomenon in some of these markets. FF7 is likely to end up with 90% higher gross WW than FF6's $788M and that is way beyond incredible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quigley Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 $34M Tuesday is still quite good but didn't break TASM's record (in NA). If it can make about the same as Furious 7 on Wednesday, that will be solid since a big drop on second day is expected. But after that it needs to rebound and earn more than FF7 during the 3-day weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think saturday increase would be softer for AOU than F7 as that was almost 2nd weekend for Furious 7 vs 1st weekend for AOU. But irrespective of anything this will be 3rd biggest grosser in China and that is nothing to snort around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keysersoze123 Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Why did AoU open on a Tuesday? its not a choice. SARFT sets the date. If possible AOU would have opened on May 1st and Furious 7 on Good friday. But that aint possible in China. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Ultron has proven to be a strong Saturday and Sunday performer like all the other Marvels, it should do some nice numbers on those days, I see no reason China would be any different Edited May 13, 2015 by eXtacy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
