CJohn 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. I am almost crying. Still can't believe this. I was really confident in over 170M OW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kvikk Lunsj 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.IM3 ow 135m the reactions would be great.

fishstick Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 That didn't saved The Hobbit from being a Floppit Well that one didn`t post that huge numbers and it also had 3 movies in the same franchise, made a decade earlier, that kicked its ass.

wileECoyote Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 For most sites, Avengers leveled out in the mid-high 60s before shooting up to Rth's 80M.Yeah true I remember reading that thread. Talk about running the gamut. I'm just gonna wait a little longer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Beezy Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 (edited) 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. Exactly. Edited May 4, 2013 by Jay Beezy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 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. I really don't understand how anyone could think it would open on par to Avengers in NA. I'll admit I was very wrong about it overseas, but here in NA we don't go apeshit over 3D, which is also helping out the international gross. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. At the moment, in terms of admissions, this isn't increasing that much from IM2's opening. Not like it has done OS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grey ghost Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 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. Dude, it might only get the 3rd or 4th biggest all time OW. Flop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJohn Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Dude, it might only get the 3rd or 4th biggest all time OW. Flop This is not flop territory. Flop would be 155-165M. This is going under 150M. BOMB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfirebird2008 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Very true but it still looks like it will beat that #, for a third entry that is impressive. No other way to put it. Agreed, especially since IM2 sucked. TA definitely helped overcome a possible drop from IM2's adjusted (for 3D/inflation) opening. Still though, if this comes in under $60m today it's going to cause a meltdown here. That would be two meltdowns in this community for Iron Man movies caused by over-inflated expectations.

baumer Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 I think one of the reasons this film is getting mixed WOM is that the plot is about as silly as The Transformers 2 plot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heretic Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Imagine official estimates come in at 70m. I'm still holding out hope, I just can't see how this could do below 60m with 15.6m from Thursday previews alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
