BvS isn't going to break the billion barrier.

Man of Steel only did 668 million WW, and BvS a) has no buzz with the mass audience, and b) looks shitty. And I love DC far above Marvel.

Batman and Superman in the same movie at the same time for the first time won't make a billion dollars?

Is that right?

 

[guek]

BvS will absolutely break a billion worldwide unless it's atrocious. I'm talking Green Lantern levels of bad.

In which case, we collectively pool our money and shoot Zack Snyder into the sun, never to be spoken of again.

I liked Age of Ultron better than Star Wars

If BvS ends up being as bad as Green Lantern, I want to accompany Zack into the sun because there will be nothing left for me on earth and being present as we both turn to ash is the only way to ensure Zack will be gone forever. Somebody should get a kickstarter or something on go I guess.

If this happens WB will remove him from any project he is attached to.

We certainly don't need another Green Lantern!

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

Just a note. TFA will top Avengers in 13 days.

 

[Dalek]

How dare you. We need a GOOD Green Lantern movie! The possibilities are just so promising.

NOOOOOO! That's IMPOSSIBLE!

 

[y2dvd]

So at this point, the only thing to topple TFA is the next Star Wars movie.

That's okay. Some people like the Star Wars prequel instead of the original 3.

Episode VIII is probably going to drop domestically. The buildup and hype for TFA is unlikely to be matched by Ep VIII, also the current release date will make it much harder for Episode VIII to have a leggy run since there will be other Summer movies competing for screens on a weekly basis.

But you never know, it could be a far superior movie, they might shift release dates, and things like that. But there's a reason why movies tend to drop after the preceding movie does gargantuan numbers (see Avengers to Ultron, Spider-Man to Spider-Man 2, TDK to TDKR, etc)

 

[Timu]

Yes, this as well.

I meant that we don't another bad one like like that.

LOL. That's a good one...

well well well.

Can we leave this thread alone? This horse has been dead for a while.

 

[Thatonemoor]

That's kind of a unfair comparison because unlike the prequels Age of Ultron isn't a bad movie. It's no where close to as good as TFA but it's not a bad movie.

Not until TFA passes Avatar.

When Jurassic World has fallen, then this thread has my permission to die.

Ha, ha, this gif is perfect.

Really though we can bump it again when/if Star Wars doubles Age of Ultron's domestic gross. Just $178 mil away, can it do it?

We need to note when it passes Avatar domestic.

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

We need to note when it passes Avatar domestic.

It's only 9 million below Avatar's original release, and 20 below its re-release take. So, today and tomorrows takes will do it.

The greatest gift JJ gave us was to knock Avatar off the top, I will never understand Avatar, ever!!!!!!

 

[brickarts295]

These are my predictions.

• Avengers 2 will be #1 Foreign and WW for 2015 Nope
• Force Awakens will be #1 Domestic for 2015 Nailed it
• Both will pass 1 billion Nailed it
• Neither will reach 2 Billion (if they do, well Holy Shit) but Avengers 2 will get closest to it SW is going to prove me wrong on both counts
• Force Awakens will have the highest RT Nailed it

3 out of 5
I put too much faith on an Avengers sequel and not on Nostalgia.
