Pretty sure this is hindsight or GAF. Ultron was huge and everywhere (it's not a coincidence Marvel have once again used the tactic of releasing new clips every so often). It only started to deflate once the initial box office figures and some of the word of mouth was below expectations.

Lets not forget that Boxing fight.

I think I agree, but this just has the look of a quote you look back on a say "Welp, I was wrong."

Maybe just maybe it's possible. Marvel has gained a lot more fans than they've lost since Avengers 1, reviews are great, and maybe it's just me, but the hype around this one seems huge.

I keep upping my prediction, and maybe in can end in the Avengers tier or above.

You can make eat a crow thread if you want, but it wont reach 2 bn and it wont beat Star Wars.
 
We also have no idea what Spider-Man's appearance can do for the movie's returns. It is definitely a more prominent role than anyone expected, but who knows how that will translate.
 
Checked the Cineplex website again for Jungle Book tickets and wow, BvS got knocked down to just 7 screenings in two regular auditoriums.

Would've thought it would at least hang on to that last premium large format theatre for a little while.

I'm keeping my prediction for Civil War at Iron Man 3 gross. That was a massive film by itself and without the name The Avengers I'm not sure it can hit those crazy high results.

Would love to be wrong though
 
Why Does Hollywood Keep Disrespecting Melissa McCarthy?
Since Bridesmaids, McCarthy has starred in five studio comedies — Identity Thief, The Heat, Tammy, Spy, and the current release The Boss — with average production budgets of $39 million (the cost of roughly 20 minutes of Batman v Superman); the first four averaged worldwide grosses of $185 million. (All five movies opened with a weekend take of $22 million or more.) She also cameoed in...

This is not just a remarkable run; it is literally a singular one. No other woman or man unaided by a franchise in the last five years has emerged from nowhere to become such a completely dependable movie star, appearing in one successful film after another and regularly creating product that turns a profit, while maintaining a successful foothold in TV as well.

So why are so many people eager to suggest it’s all a mirage? On April 10, after the opening weekend of The Boss, which cost $29 million to make and grossed $23.5 million in its first three days, the New York Times led its weekend-grosses piece with “Melissa McCarthy succeeded at the box office in ‘The Boss,’ but just barely,” adding, “box office wobbliness and reviews complaining of a repetitious shtick have started to hound” her. (The inaccuracy of “box office wobbliness” aside, this is indeed repetitious: Two years ago, when McCarthy’s Tammy opened to a five-day gross of $32.9 million, the same reporter called it a “poor turnout” and wrote, “Warner … appears to have overestimated the popularity of Ms. McCarthy’s rowdy style … with critics complaining that [her] shtick has grown tiresome.”) And Deadline Hollywood, often the first to the table with weekend box-office analysis, wrote, “Even though The Boss is considered a win internally for Universal and will likely profit … others in the industry say the R-rated comedy is a cautionary tale” about the limits of its star’s appeal...

Then again, the movie industry tends to find warning signs where it wants, and it’s hard to read these analyses without sensing an undertone: Don’t be fooled. The math may say she’s a movie star, but we all know she’s skating on thin ice. This attitude about McCarthy feels pervasive. Twice in the last three years, a group called the Alliance of Women Film Journalists has nominated her for a booby prize called Actress Most in Need of a New Agent, suggesting that they (a) do not understand grosses, (b) do not understand what agents do, and (c) most bizarrely, imagine that McCarthy is not making her own choices.

You don’t have to think The Boss is McCarthy’s strongest work (nobody does — it’s basically a feature-length tease-out of a sketch character à la Zoolander) to wonder at all this...

Damn, without China BvS is at $708,624,211 worldwide. It's literally only going to beat Deadpool because of China. There's no way it's going to make the $50,000,000 it would need for that not to be true.

Unless it's terrible, Iron Man 3 would be the absolute floor for this. It'll definitely out-gross it.
 
Gitesh, Deadline and others are saying that Friday for the Jungle Book is looking like $25M+


EDIT: Previous First Day/First Wkd for live action Disney


Cinderella - $23M - $68M
Maleficent - $24M - $69M
Oz The Great and Powerful - $24M - $79M
Alice in Wonderland - $41M - $116M
 
I'm still on my shitty disnye boycott that means absolutely nothing until Tron 3 comes out.
I refuse to see any Disney Live Action films (Not Counting Star Wars or Marvel). It's my way of sticking it to the man, even though it won't do anything.

Call me crazy but if it is as good as everyone says and you add the "Oh Shit Spiderman is with other superheroes" hype. It might do a little better. Like if it burped Avengers would feel it on the back of it's neck.

So $75m-$80m is looking likely. Jesus Disney!
 
As we move into the 4th weekend for BvS, the numbers on Thursday show the gap between BvS and Deadpool being a mere 7.5 million now. Deadpool's Thursday before the 4th weekend was also double what BvS' Thursday was. Lol.

Lost World characters are considerably >>>> the ones in jurassic world

The movie itself is far more enjoyable too.

I enjoyed most of it, but when we got to the end and I was watching a T-Rex stomp around San Diego, I had to throw my hands up. That moment is right there with Thorin surfing on a sheet of metal 3 inches from molten gold for sheer ridiculousness for me.

I enjoyed JW the whole way through. It was just funner than the 2 sequels were. I hope they don't lose that for JW2.

And I'd guess about $1.3B for Civil War. Maybe more if the Spiderman stuff is big. The word-of-mouth on that would help the legs for a bit more.

Don't feel this is accurate. They split Team Ironman and Team Captain America into two press tours for this. I think RDJ is touring Europe with his team, Evans is coming here to Asia with his. The marketing is absolutely pushing this as a hero vs hero extravaganza rather than just another Cap movie.

wow i didn't know that - that's dope af

Me either. If they truly are pushing it as a huge hero movie overseas then maybe... just maybe 1.2 or so. I still dont think it matches Avengers. Not even Ultron could do that.
 
This thing probably has a good chance of being huge internationally too.

Wonder if a billi could be in talks.

Edit: civil war soon tho.

BvS got destroyed; it'll be lucky to make more than $325M. Zootopia got hit hard as well.
 
That BvS hold is death.

I'm looking forward to Jeff's statement this coming Sunday.

Lower debut than I expected for Barbershop though.

You have to wonder if Disney anticipated Zootopia and the Jungle Book being big hits or if they would have spaced them out a bit more. They are going to cannibalise the audience of the one before at the moment, but Zootopia, Jungle Book then Civil War is one hell of a combo for them.
 
BvS is absolutely a disappointment, but you kind of gotta wonder what would have happened if they let Snyder helm Man of Steel 2 right away. I'm not sure it would have had the same reception as BvS, but if it did... probably would have resulted in a truly embarrassing sub $200M gross.
 
Huge success for jungle book. Even though BvS has made a lot of money, the reception and legs of this film must be devastating for WB. What a terrible start.

Cap is going to wipe the floor with them.

If $95-100m happens, I'd say it's likely next weekend will top BvS's second weekend ($51m). (Just to beat that horse a little longer.)
