Good chance it gets destroyed in the second week. TMNT is going to make bank.

What's that?

Turtles to put up similar numbers opening weekend as GoTG does opening weekend.. It will be #1 opening weekend, but it wont be a monster.

Of course, I thought How to Train Your Dragon 2 was going to be a beast at the box office this summer. So what do I know? Nothing. Just going off my gut. Which failed me with HtTYD2.

TMNT will own their weekend but not after that. Both will put up great numbers at the box office when it's all said and done.

 

[bananafactory]

I feel like Guardians can do at least Dawn of the Planet of the Apes numbers, despite that one being a sequel.

70 mil +

 

[BlackNMild2k1]

So, what do you guys think about how this movie will do in the US on Opening Weekend? Over or under the projected minimum of $60 million?

I'm guessing a $75-$80M opening and a $550-$615M close.

 

[JBourne]

I need this movie to be a huge success.

 

[Neoxon]

Apart from Peter Jason Quill are those other human looking characters actually human?

FTFY, his first name is Peter, not Jason. And no, Peter is the only legit human.

Spoiler

And if they follow the comics, Peter Quill isn't entirely human himself. In fact, the middle name comes from his alien father.

Part of me thinks that we're all overestimating TMNT (myself included). There's not a lot of buzz like there was for Apes & now Guardians. I honestly think how Transformers turned out may hurt TMNT.

My thoughts exactly. Though I'm not sure if GotG truly counts as a new franchise, as it's part of the MCU, which already gives the film a box office boost.

But I guarantee you, if this movie crosses the $70 million barrier, Marvel Studios & Disney are gonna party. That & Marvel would gain the license to legally print money.

We all do.

 

[demosthenes]

So psyched for this!

 

[overcast]

I think it opens between 65-70 million, and caps out around 175 million domestically, and I have no clue WW.

Hopefully it's more successful though. TMNT won't be big, but it doesn't help.

 

[sti4thewin]

I want this to do well, but I don't expect it to come close to make as much as past marvel movies.

 

[Xamdou]

Really think GOTG will be #1 for several weeks. Just plaster the Marvel/Disney name every time it is advertised and it will do wonders. The Disneyland preview in 3D with shaking seats is what sealed the deal for me.

But what if they showed GotG...

...in a boat?

Would your deal be double sealed?

 

[Dai101]

I will go IMAX 3D, that's enough for me. I already strugle just with 3D, i don't think i can handle being in one of those 4DX teathers.

Yeah the preview reactions is why I'm thinking around 90m, just need the same twitter hype on a larger scale with early screenings.

 

[FireAndBlood]

Currently GotG is tracking at around $60 million opening. Hopefully it has good legs. TMNT, The Giver, Expendables 3, Let's Be Cops and Sin City also open in August.

Italy: October 22, 2014

It hurts :/

Ouch, that sucks. Depending on where in Italy you live, you could pay your neighbors to the east a visit and catch the film there.

Editing on my phone is a nightmare.

Editing on my phone is a nightmare.

Poor choice.

 

[Neoxon]

Poor choice.

I leaned that the hard way. Thanks for the extra stuff, by the way.

After I watch the movie, I am going to pour one out for a very close friend.......incredibly close.......who was looking forward to seeing this movie but unfortunately will never be able to see it.....

Go watch it again in honor of your friend.

Also, added the cherry on top.

Yeah, I think I will. I'll be sure to save a seat for him......

 

[Neoxon]

Sucks for him. ;_;

Anyway, I got my tickets for IMAX 3D a week ago. The quality was legit at the preview, so I'm in.

Nah i think Turtles will take number 1...even if it does look fucking messed up ...(cant get that shredder 50 knives scene out of my head) , the TMNT are big like TF are big and they will make bank...im guessing.

My nephew is 8 and he REALLY wants to see GoTG though i think the movie will have some legs and do respectable numbers maybe 400-550 mil overall.

It feels good being able to do that again

Yondu with the ominous glowing red Mohawk.

I still believe something is gonna pop out of there when needed. A really gigantic fin like stuff that does stuff.

Chainsaw fin! Lol

Beat me to the punch.

I'd incorporate them into the OP, but I need Quick to make the thumbnails, & editing on my phone is a nightmare.

 

[Siegcram]

God, those Nova Corps. uniforms on the big screen make me all tingly.

 

[Verendus]

I'm sure this movie will do well. It's Marvel and it has Batista. Recipe for success.

 

[Slyonic]

Neoxon, maybe you could add the Prequel Infinite comic to recommended comics? It's officially part of the MCU;
http://marvelcinematicuniverse.wikia.com/wiki/Guardians_of_the_Galaxy_Prequel_Infinite_Comic

It's also up on Youtube; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrx259qZSLs&list=PLhI6nYjoGqSW2ByheyocuuD0u_lpGmA2Q

 

[Orbis Tabula]

I am now going to spend the next few weeks in fear of accidentally clicking the spoiler thread. Just like with Cap 2.

 

[Grakl]

great super review (on rotten tomatoes), someone who hasn't seen the movie yet lol

 

[Quick]

That's what I think. It looks like his Mohawk opens up.

Beat me to the punch.

I'll make them later today.

 

[Dai101]

Nova Prime, lokking so sharp there. I'm so glad big names are ok with doing this kind of bits in this movies. Loved Odin, my mouth was in the floor when Robert Redford was on screen and can't wait to see Michael Douglas in NOT-wright's ANT-MAN

Thanks. Should I just pull the high quality image from CBM or do you have a better version?

 

[Quick]

I'll find a hi-res version.

Or you can PM it.

 

[Deadstar]

Mark my words. This movie will be the biggest Marvel movie of all time. $250 million opening weekend.

Damn bro that's tough to hear. My friend passed away days after we watched inception. My last words to him were "how the fuck you ain't seen the matrix yet? Next week we gonna watch it. Later."

He was more than just a friend, he was the older brother I wish I had growing up.

I posted a lot more details in my disney community thread.
