Broken sarcasm detector and all that.
Hope you like having a Rivers face, not this one though, as your avatar!

I don't even know who Rivers is. But that won't matter. THG beating The Hobbit's box office is as likely as Michael Bay winning an Oscar.

Oh man, this thread has provided many hearty laughs for me. Thank you, everyone. Needed that.
There's no way in bloody hell The Avengers does $125 million at most.
You're wrong. 0% chance it opens under $100 million.
0% chance on this too.
Haha.

You guys may be laughing, but I will finish my YA novel and be rolling in money and have a Pagani Huayra in my garage soon enough.
As for the conversation going on here, I'm convinced that The Avengers will open at $120 million. It won't do Hunger Games numbers, but the trailer has me pumped.
Dark Knight Rises will open at $130 million, the hype machine is rolling along, and Christopher Nolan is the closest thing to a sure thing WB has now that Harry Potter is complete.
The Hobbit will open at $100 million. LOTR nerds, me included, have waited a decade for this. There's no way that it won't make mad bank.

Best quarterback in the NFL. Just remember that when you're asked about him.

Avengers won't even top Batman Forever's gross
Rivers cries himself to sleep every night thinking of Ben and Eli.

TAS will definitely make more money the the Hobbit world wide. You guys really underestimate how popular spiderman is in the US and the world.
The same way you underestimate how popular The Hobbit is around the world.

and how inferior they are to him
I compare Avengers to a kiss from a rose on the grey.
Rivers hangs out with Losman during the offseason.

Pretty much. He's like the Alex Smith of the west coast.
Rivers is a kind Christian man looking out for those less fortunate than him like Loserman.
He's like Tebow, but good.
I don't understand why some of you people are doubting Avengers. It's fucking Avengers. It has four (4) superheroes in it. Muthaafucking RDJ is in this. Plus it's the first movie of the "summer". People have been waiting for this movie for a while.
Opening: $110 million
Final domestic: $280 million.

BTW Is Canada included when BOM mention domestic BO? I never see Canada mentioned when the show international result of a movie.
TSA will crush the Hobbit in the US, and that will make the difference.

I think Avengers can easily top $100 mil. The films have been popular, especially Iron Man who will likely be the highlight of the marketing campaign.
Box office for the superheroes I'm guessing will go Batman > Avengers > TAS. And I think Batman's the only one that will give The Hobbit a real challenge.

Ice Age might do a billion in WW BO.
Harry Potter, TSM, Batman, Transformers, can be easily compared BO wise to LOTR.

Something tells me you're pretty excited about TDKR.
I dont know what the fuck TSM is, but I dont think any of the others are as respected/revered as LOTR, especially not Transformers

DOTM grossed $1,123,746,996 WW including over $700M OS. Also people love Transformers.
Were talking USA here though.
The Hobbit will obliterate Dark Knight Rises worldwide, obviously, as well as the rest, that's a given.
Revenge of the fallen grossed $402,111,870 domestic.
And DOTM grossed 360 Mil, with 3D inflation. The franchise obviously fell off domestically.
I think people are under-estimating TAS (The Amazing Spider-man for those asking what TAS/TSM stands for) and for good reason. Reboot, new actors, new story arc etc. IMO at the end of their BO runs, both Hobbit and TAS will be close.
Phoenix Dark 2.0
Domestic or worldwide?
I could see worldwide. Domestic unfortunately I think TDKR is mostly a lock to win first, but I do think Hobbit beating it isn't an impossibility.
It has the 5 year gap going for it which holds some pent up demand for another Spidey flick. It all depends how the audience will take to a reboot. However The Hobbit will easily surpass it.

The Hobbit won´t obliterate shit. I am on the camp of TDKR will have a bigger WW BO than the Hobbi. You are really overestimating the hobbit. Hell i will go out of the limb here and say the amazing spiderman will make more at WW BO then the hobbit.

I think Hobbit and Batman will be pretty close, and I would not want to put a bet on one or the other. I think Batman will have a higher opening, but that The Hobbit will have longer legs.
Return of the King was the first movie to make over 700 mil OS, got the closest to Titanic than anyone ever did until last years 2 3D juggernauts (HP and TF), and did this with no 3D surcharge, and back in 2003.
You're kidding yourself if you don't think The Hobbit won't win WW. After all that and a nearly 10 year wait.
I think The Hobbit has a chance at 2 Billion WW to be honest, or close to it anyways.

I want Prometheus to shit on every goddamn movie being mentioned here. Sadly it won't
I don't care as I'm so hyped for it. As long as it does well it's all good.
