Sure. There are like 20 min breaks between and we've all gotten to know each other. No reason to move.

Sorry I can't make a proper venom symbiote/ass imprint/chair smell joke to save my life

We just finished Thor here and this gross guy is singing along to the ending credits theme. It also smells of wet farts in here. Sometimes I really hate the people who share my interests.

The first weekend of May is one of the most lucrative release dates each year, and it's proven to be a great time to open a comic book adaptation. The first Spider-Man movie kicked off this trend when it set a new opening weekend record of $114.8 million in 2002. Spider-Man 3 reclaimed that record for the series when it debuted to $151.1 million on the same weekend in 2007. If The Avengers can simply match Spider-Man 3's attendance levels, it will top Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2's current record of $169.2 million thanks to ticket price inflation and 3D premiums. Since it was accounting for an incredible 94 percent of ticket sales on Fandango as of Wednesday morning, this record definitely seems to be within reach.

Weekend Forecast (May 4-6):
1. The Avengers - $172.5 million
2. Think Like a Man - $8.6 million (-51%)
3. The Pirates! - $6.6 million (-41%)
4. The Hunger Games - $6.3 million (-42%)
5. Five-Year Engagement - $5.8 million (-45%)

I predicted 175M

Let's see the final results

 

[aceface]

Sorry if it's been asked but what's the verdict on 3d for this movie? Tacked on or worthwhile? Trying to decide to spend the extra money or not.

Tacked on garbage.

2D all the way.

 

[Messofanego]

Never worthwhile, unless if it was filmed in 3D. Do you want a darker image?

This record also in play here;

BIGGEST GAPS BETWEEN 1ST & 2ND PLACE

 

[The Outsider]

173 mil?

I'll believe it after the weekend comes and goes.

 

[aceface]

No idea how it was filmed. Thanks for the info guys, I'll go for the 2d.

Reason my wife did not want opening night or a night screening on Saturday.

 

[gutabo]

Whelp, it already has the peruvian best opening record too.

Spoiler

By our standards 675K is HUGE

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

I predicted 175M

$174m for me. May the best man win!

Did Paul Bettany make more than that reading his lines over the phone?

Damn

 

[Tobor]

When are we going to get tonight's numbers?

 

[Xamdou]

I predict 180 million!

 

[gutabo]

Sorry for the mistake, it's not 675K dollars, it's 675K PEOPLE. It's pretty hard to say how much money it made on the weekend, but let's say $10 per ticket, we're talking about $6.75 million.

BOM has the Peruvian gross at $2,230,676 for its first weekend. The average ticket price is lower than $10 here. Still, that's a lot, highest opening I've seen for the country. We love dem blockbusters(and animated movies).

 

[cutmeamango]

The Avengers did about 12 (14 on Box Mojo) million dollars on its opening weekend here in Brazil, holding the new record for a opening weekend.

Good luck.

I predict 130M.

I see you have revised your earlier predict of 100M.

When are we going to get tonight's numbers?

As early as tonight, depends on the studio if they want to share them.

 

[The Outsider]

I'm going to guess about 156 mil for opening weekend.

They have a 9am for the first showing tomorrow but I know if we go to that one its going to be filled with a bunch of Captain Sweatpants and militant comicbook purists. I don't know if I can handle that.

 

[JB1981]

Watched Thor last night. Liked it more than the first time. It's too bad that the romance doesn't work because it could have been really affecting in a Lois Lane/Supermam kind of way.

 

[PhoncipleBone]

Had no plans on getting refreshments, but they have custom Avengers cups. Take my money.

 

[BigJonsson]

It only seems fitting that I put this shirt on for the first time in years before I go to the movie tonight. Yes, I am a nerd.
