Sam Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 (edited) So we're talking strictly box office wise here right? Not the characters themselves? Cause I'm pretty sure even if MOS gross like 500M, he's still an A-list P.S Sorry, just read the whole thread title and yeah, you're talking about box office, silly me I have preservation about MOS. I think the film will do well in US regardless cause of his brand name. But overseas, I don't see him as a popular character anymore, so it's a wildcard that depend hugely on the film's quality IMO. But right now I'm thinking 250M Dom and 450M overseas so I agree with you prediction. Edited March 12, 2013 by Sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grey ghost Posted March 12, 2013 Author Share Posted March 12, 2013 I left out any possible Batman reboot but unless it's total crap it will easily make the A-list (700+ m). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Stingray Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 A list: Iron Man & Spider-Man & TA & JLA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 I think Thor has the A-list box office potential. I would put Doctor Strange and GOTG in the C-list cause they're completely unknown properties to GA so I don't think their box office will be big, just solid enough IMO. The name Ant-Man alone is lame even to me as a comics fan so I figure that would put off people Being the movie right after TA2 might help it, but that remains unknown still, so C-list with 300M sounds right atm. Also, I dislike Hank Pym, so yes, C-list it is 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talkie Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 If the standard for the A-List is only $700M WW, The Avengers is in a class by itself. A-List The Avengers Iron Man Spider-Man Batman B-List Thor Captain America Guardians of the Galaxy Superman Justice League (if it ever gets made) C-List Ant-Man Doctor Strange X-Films Fantastic Four Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neo Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 IMO should be: A-List: 1.1B+ B-List: 800M-1.1B C-List: -500M-799.9M D-List: >500M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMan7 Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 (edited) Doesn't box office results indicate the popularity and likeability of a character outside of that particular fanbase in this case comic books? I think the list should be more like this: A List - > 600M B List - > 400M C List - < 400M I don't think there is any need for anymore lists beyond C list. A List Characters in movies past and present: Batman Spiderman Iron Man Avengers B List Characters in movies past and present: Superman Thor Captain America X-Men C List Characters in movies past and present: Daredevil Ghost Rider Fantastic Four Hulk ....and the rest.
