fishstick Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 With all due respect, this is... stupid. There's nothing IM2 does that IM3 doesn't do better, most significantly, being interesting. I'm sure kids will find the many suits thing cool, but besides that the bit with the kid is adorable, I'm sure they'll find it at least compelling. I think that IM3 getting a huge boost from TA Effect, thus defying the rule that sequel coming after a poorly received one must decrease, is fucking up people`s predictions so they want it to do worse in order to win at the game or were just rooting for another movie to be as big. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyGossamer Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 I say split the difference between OW multipliers for IM2 and TA and you'll get the most likely number for the IM3... 2.55. So, I'm projecting 174M OW. Seems a little high I guess. Even still... If IM3 matches IM2's multiplier it'll come in at $171M. 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 If this has worse legs than IM2 I'm attributing it to competition. IM2 really had nothing against it for May/June. That's a major reason I can see it happening. IM3 is a hell of a lot of fun, especially for kids I'd say. They won't care about the 'twist'. Maybe. Just giving my opinion. The twist isn't even the problem when it comes to kids. If it's a problem, it'll be for adults. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lab276 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 With all due respect, you sound like an irrational fanboy with your first two sentences. Get over it, dude. It's just a movie.I'm a fanboy, but not for Marvel. On this film I'm a GA member. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAR Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Oh, Jesus, here we go again! His being upset is no different from Lucas raped my childhood and other uncurable traumas that movies inflict on their fans. You ain`t no real fan if you ddin`t go through a total mental colapse and Internet meltdown at least once in your life. Well then I must not be a real fan because while I've been disappointed or flat out disliked certain films, I pretty much shrug it off and move on. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spizzer Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 This looks on pace to gain on IM2 in attendance by ~4% over the weekend (unless the 3D share is uncharacteristically low). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's because you're a reasonable human being. We're often ostracized on the Internet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spizzer Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 With that figure Following IM2 15.6M 9PM/Midnights 52.7M Friday 55.2M Saturday (+4.7%) 37.5M Sunday (-32.0%) 161.0M OW 145.4M Adjusted OW (2.76 IM) Following TA 15.6M 9PM/Midnight 52.7M Friday 59.0M Saturday (+12.0%) 48.4M Sunday (-18%) 175.8M OW 160.2M Adjusted OW (3.04 IM) The median here would be 168.5M. It's going to be tight between this and DH2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lumos Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 (edited) Having a Sat and Sun combined gross of 100M seems to be the new benchmark for big openers now. Edited May 4, 2013 by Mr Potter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 So I looked on Fandango's website for IM3 tickets and a Pain and Gain advertisment popped up. "SEE THE #1 MOVIE IN AMERICA" Yeah, "number one." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jandrew Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 (edited) Lack of appeal with kids? Iron man will have more kiddie appeal than Trek. Way more. Kids love when they can identify characters. IM3 will be fine with families and kids. Ive seen a lot of reports of older siblings taking their youngers to IM3 and they loved it. IM3 will have the 2nd biggest kiddie appeal of May after Epic, so If IM3 doesnt then basically no may movie does.

catlover Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 True. If the kids' interest hangs around long enough, they'll like the finale. I just don't see the online crowd (i.e., this forum included) representing the general public. Well, I went for the 2nd time with 3 kids. Not mine, my friends'. They all really had fun watching it. They couldn't stop talking about it afterwards. So I don't see any problem with the kids. How about that for "general public"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redfirebird2008 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 I don't think that's right, I think it gets $161m if it matches IM2, but should def have a better multiplier than that. $161m with IM2's multiplier and $176m with TA's multiplier. Split the difference and it's $168.5m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
