baumer Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Yeah, no shit.. If I am wrong and I probably am at this point, I still wouldn't exactly throw 160M OW for a 3rd installment under a bus just yet.. That's still pretty good, but YES, No where near the 185-200M I thought it would do.. Now, I want to literally destroy something with great fury.. The thing about this film is that no matter what it does, whether it is 140 or 160 OW, those are FUCKING HUGE NUMBERS. This is what some of us are forgetting. These are numbers that a handful of films have done. I know we are the nerds that want it do hugely stupid numbers, but these are hugely huge numbers. We have to remember that.

fishstick Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Yeah, pretty much that. OS to the rescue again. OMG, they can write the Rescue plot in IM4 around OS saving IM from boming globally. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiantCALBears Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Looks like 'dat Avengers effect' is having little effect in the US.Ummm how is that? Without Avengers this opens below IM2, instead it's going to beat it by $30m OW. Pretty big "effect" if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FilmBuff Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 I'm not ruling out a 55 million dollar Friday. Just like Iron Man 3 not grossing over a Billion right? How did that prediction work out for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdeezy Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 (edited) lol at calling a $150 million OW disappointing. Some of y'all just went overboard with the predicts..that is still a rather incredibly awesome figure Edited May 4, 2013 by sdeezy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heretic Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Seriously though, this'll probably do around 60m. Not 'omg amazing', but still a huge OD, which will lead to a more than satisfactory opening. Just not the explosion we were hoping for after seeing OS results. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfirebird2008 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Ummm how is that? Without Avengers this opens below IM2, instead it's going to beat it by $30m OW. Pretty big "effect" if you ask me. 3D and inflation helps too though. Even with a conservative estimate for the 3D boost and inflation, IM2 would open around $145m if released in 2013 with 3D. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No where near as pronounced as it has been OS though. 3D is giving it a boost aswell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay Beezy Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Oh yeah riding And I'm taking every early estimate with a grain of salt :lol; For most sites, Avengers leveled out in the mid-high 60s before shooting up to Rth's 80M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Just like Iron Man 3 not grossing over a Billion right? How did that prediction work out for you? And what did you predict for IM3 to gross on opening day and total? My prediction was 140 mill for the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiantCALBears Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 3D and inflation helps too though. Even with a conservative estimate for the 3D boost and inflation, IM2 would open around $145m if released in 2013 with 3D.Very true but it still looks like it will beat that #, for a third entry that is impressive. No other way to put it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishstick Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 No record, bomb. I can`t believe Friday turned out like this. I expected to be amazed by records and now this underperformance of the century. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grey ghost Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Looks like 'dat Avengers effect' is having little effect in the US. After IM2 shouldn't the OW for IM3 gone down? Way down? Look like the Avenger's effect and IM2's effect canceled each other out to some degree in the US. Or maybe expecting an opening close to Avengers was always illogical.

baumer Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Right now Friday hasn't turned out like anything yet. These numbers could go way up or even down a bit. They really are guessing at this point. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
