Fake Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 I'm rooting for PR because we could really use the START of a franchise this summer (particularly one helmed by Del Toro) and not a bunch of franchise continuations. I think there's a cap to how much it can do (200+ sounds crazy to me) but 500m WW can certainly fall.I don't see why it has a lower cap than Inception.I'm pretty confident in 300m DOM/1B WW. There is no cap IMO. Only requirement is that it has to be a good movie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder / Operator Shawn Robbins Posted May 4, 2013 Author Founder / Operator Share Posted May 4, 2013 So, ShawnMR, what would you give IM3? A, B, C? Initially... B. Maybe B+. I don't think he needed to say it, seemed like an as you know scene by then.Sorry Shawn. For what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spidey Freak Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 The plane sequence was absolutely breathtaking. Definitely one of my favourites from the last few years. The plane sequence is BOSS! Probably the best sequence in the entire trilogy so far, IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no cap IMO. Only requirement is that it has to be a good movie. I'm not on the $300m train (yet), but I do agree with the sentiment here. With potential kiddie appeal, 3D, and the original concept (let's not underestimate this in an era filled to the brim with sequels), I think PR has a very wide range.

druv10 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 (edited) I don't think he needed to say it, seemed like an as you know scene by then. Sorry Shawn. No doubt but when he's burning like lava at the end, he screams I'm the Mandarin. To me this is a new take on Mandarin by Marvel, which I'm very happy with.

Talkie Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Killian was Fing Fang Foom because he breathed fire and had dragon tattoos, Ben Kingsley was playing the double bluff, which will be revealed in Iron Man 4. But it could be true.... Nah! That's just crazy talk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much as I agree Del Toro hasn't proven his ability to cater to a big audience yet (Nolan already had before Inception), I do think the potential is there. PR is still a little niche, but far less niche than anything he's done so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fake Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 I'll panic if WB doesn't release a new PR trailer by Memorial Day weekend. Until then, I think they're in a good position: let the big boys have their time to shine, and then swoop in with something entire differently than what we've seen this year.If they make a hard push now, they not only risk over-spending on marketing, they'll get overshadowed by Trek/Fast/Hangover/Man of Steel/MU/DM2.I agree 110%.BTW what are you predicting right now? Not your 'conservative' official prediction, but what 'something inside you' is telling you? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noctis Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Just look at the other records, Potter is the only British-based franchise that's on it. You can hate on him all you want, but it doesn't phase me. He's proven how powerful he is worldwide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me this is new take on Mandarin by Marvel, which very happy with. Well when you put it that way, that he was so desperate to make Tony understand that he was the Mandarin even though it was obvious, it is hilariously desperate.
