Check Wachie's post history. Par for the course.
What salt? Are you actualy 12? That would explain a lot.

Oh, you know better than that, guek. There are people who are genuinely upset that TFA did better than AoU on both counts. Why? I have no idea but they are out there.
Except I rooted for Star Wars, numbnuts . I know it's hard for fanboys to imagine that other people enjoy lots of different things.
I get you, but don't pretend you've never shown bias.
Oh sure, I just meant within GAF after the news broke or this thread was bumped.
There's a TON of cross pollination between Marvel and Star Wars fans in any case without much animosity, at least from what I've seen. The only salt I see is people still salty that JW did so well or that the MCU has the gall to be successful.
What? Name anything that I choose one over the other. I'm in the Flash and Arrow threads every week-rave about the Batman Snyder series in the comic threads, named Dark Knight my favorite comic movie in that voting thread, and have spent the last day in the Star Wars spoiler thread geeking out. I think you're thinking about someone else, brother.
Also-in this very thread picked Star Wars over Ultron ahead of time. The only thing I'm biased towards is fun entertainment.
You cannot be serious.
People can be accused ot being biased towards film franchises now?!
That Ant-Man crow thread will follow you to your grave!

lol people thought Star Wars wouldn't destroy every record.
Not surprising people aren't talking about it, it's not a good movie.

hmmmm
Right about it being bigger domestic and the better film
Remains to be seen if it will be bigger overseas, but its looking likely
400m over on Ultron, 470m under on JW
Not too bad tbh. At least I gave JW some props which a lot of others didnt

Ultron was alright. I think Marvel showed WAY too much of that film before it released.
Star Wars was a return to form so nuff said there.

Holy shit that burn.
For the record, both Mahvel and DC can kiss my ass. Batman v Superman or Civil War next year, both will be mediocre.
Yeah, sometimes I also have trouble understanding metagaf.

Hindsight is 20/20 and all...but I just don't see a marvel franchise beating Star Wars the force awakens. Way too many of the movies and reboots. I honestly don't even know which avengers age of ultron is. Is it the third or is it the second? Don't get me wrong, I love all of them - but I don't think they have quite touched the nerve that Star Wars has.

I see that high rate of the dollar is quickly becoming the new excuse for why Avatar won't be taken down.
Haven't actually had the chance to see Star Wars yet, but it looks like I was right on the money with the first two.

I'm doing xmas shopping in a Westfield right now and they're playing Star Wars music over and over again.
My girlfriend was here last night and said it was the same.

While we were sitting in the theater for 2 hours opening night, they kept playing the Imperial March over and over. Not straight, but enough to drive you crazy.

Regardless of money made, Age of Ultron was a snoozefest. Not sure people hold it up as something to be proud of.

Only Marvel franchise I really care about now is Guardians of the Galaxy.

I'm hopeful that with Spider-Man, Dr. Strange, and the Russo borthers, things are about to get better.
Got Avengers box office and review order right.
Maybe the world ends in two weeks and Star Wars only makes $1.2 billion... Did not expect it to be an event movie.
Is that right?? Holy crap. Disney laughing all the way to the bank.
It's a shame that Avatar wouldn't be taken down anytime soon with how bad of a movie that is.
Except it's not and you can keep pretending it is with no proof.
I don't know why anyone would be surprised that Star Wars is going to be a huge earner, I really liked Age of Ultron and I wouldn't have bet against Star wars.
I don't understand why we need that quick of a turnaround, with these two big films so close to each other. Why not push Episode 8 as another Dec release?

Where has BLACKLAC been? Ain't seen the guy post in a long time.
LOL me. I knew this thread would come back to haunt me. I have no idea where I put that $450 million figure from.
Oh well. I loved the Force Awakens and Cookie Kwan is still numba 1!
40th anniversary of ANH, and because of the possibility of a Avatar sequel at that time.
It's not an excuse. Star Wars could match Avatar's gross in every international market's local currency and still lose by several hundred million in USD.
However, I don't think things are going to be close enough for that to matter. Unless it gets insane holiday legs, or an insane Chinese gross, it looks like TFA will have a uphill battle to $2B. Currency exchange doesn't account for a $800M deficit between the two films.
Salt in the wound bro. Salt in the wound...
