Didn't realise Kingsman had made more than $126 million, great!
Also good to see Ex Machina doing well. Sometimes nice to have great movies you love doing well.

The thread title isn't 'Blake Lively fails to beat off Vin Diesel'.
I'm disappointed.
I'm disappointed.
When's the wide release for that?
How is it a double-edged sword? You think the studios prefer how it was a decade ago when nobody was going to theaters in China and piracy was rampant? I think they will happily take the cut.

What does Ja Rule think of all of this.

$398 mil worldwide.
Awesome!
With those numbers, never. I think Lionsgate is going to simply hold the L on this one.

I daresay they're delighted that a huge new audience has presented itself for Hollywood movies.
I just think that they'd prefer that audience to be somewhere where they can get a bigger cut of the profits.
‘Age Of Ultron’s $27.6M Thursday Outstrips First ‘Avengers’ Preview Night; Global Haul At $314.9M
...outstripping the $18.7M made by Avengers during its late night previews in May 2012. That figure is the sixth highest on the list of all-time domestic previews with Warner Bros.’ Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 topping it with $43.5M.
Age of Ultron‘s crowd last night was comprised of 60% men and 40% women, skewing younger with over/under 25 respectively at 45% / 55%.
International for Age of Ultron is already at $287M. Mexico bowed yesterday with $6.8M, the largest opening day in industry history.
Furious 7 at the same point had $343.1m internationally (reminder: it had more markets). Avengers have slightly caught up: They were at 81.6% (200/245) after the weekend and now they are at 83.6% (287/343).

I don't think he was serious with the 300m projection.

215-230 range seems to be the average in realistic predictions. I am going with 220 mil and finishing up domestically around 550 mil.
Seeing it for a second time tonight so I am doing my part I suppose.

I dunno. It is opening on less screens, and less of a breakdown for 3D. The original's opening weekend is a very high bar to clear.
Anecdotal info drop here: Not a lot families showed up where I work. We're assuming that Weekend is going to be insane. But every 2d show we had was a sellout and 3d was pushing it.
I think the reason why midnight showing wasn't didn't top it is because there will be more Avengers movies and personally the marketing was overwhelming.
Where did you see it? Overseas it wasn't attached but my understanding domestically it is.
I guess I'll find out I'm seeing the movie before work today.
Saw it last night at an AMC in Illinois. They didn't have Star Wars or Batman v Superman. They showed old trailers for Jurassic, Terminator, Tomorrowland, and Fantastic Four. The only new trailer they had was Ant-Man.
It put me in a damn bad mood for 45 minutes of the movie, since I was avoiding every new trailer in the past few weeks with the mindset of getting so many new ones at Avengers would be cool. Even if they had just had the four new ones without Star Wars or Batman v Superman, I would've been in an okay mood (although still peeved about Star Wars) but NOOOO

You've learned an important lesson today: Don't trust theater managers to be competent. Watch the ad when the ad is watchable

No SW or BvS here. Regal Cinemas in KY. They had a new Tomorrowland trailer, newest FF trailer, Jurassic World, San Andreas, Ant Man, and a few others that obviously left a big impression since I don't remember them.
I know the 3D showing had SW, because as I was walking by the auditorium for it I heard the trailer.

No, I learned the important lesson that I must go completely dark on Star Wars, because it makes no sense to get excited for Star Wars when there is no Star Wars
The real reason Avengers is "only" 6th on the all time previews chart is that A) it was a school night, and B) it isn't a franchise aimed at young women.
Avengers and Iron Man 3 are the two biggest openings of all time, and neither rank highly on the all time previews list (which is TDKR, Harry Potter, and a bunch of Twilight films).

TDKR and HP 8 also had the added benefit of being the finales to their respective series, which makes them more of an event.

I got the new Tomorrowland, Ant-Man, Terminator, Jurassic World, even that trailer for that new Vin Diesel movie that came out the other day, yet no Star Wars? Hearing it was only on 3D prints.

Seriously,
7:30 showing, previews start at 7:35 all the way to 8...
No BatmanVsSuperman or Star Wars? Wtf.
ahh gotcha.
The trailers that were shown were Batman v Superman (first one shown), Dope, Ant-Man, The Last Witch Hunter, Southpaw, Tomorrowland, and Insidious 3. The only problem I had with these trailers was Insidious 3. There was a lot of kids in the audience, and I was wondering why that trailer was shown.

Oh yeah. Insidious 3 was another at mine.
That's a lot of trailers.

That is not the correct lesson, Toothless.
You wouldn't have to worry about the manager at your theater being competent if you'd already watched the commercials before you even got to the theater.
They're just commercials, in the end.
Meh. I don't regret holding off on Star Wars at all. Now I've entered the mindset (after seeing Ultron) that the less I see of Star Wars the better. It's a blessing in disguise and I won't hear otherwise

It's still not the same as seeing them on the big screen. Sure I've already seen the trailers but it gets me pumped when i see them at the cinema. I feel like the quality of the trailers I get before a movie has a big impact on my enjoyment of the hole experience. Could be because I just love trailers though.
I love trailers too. I can't ever relate to those complaining about too many trailers in front of movies. The more the better!

I am all for a few trailers before films, but when you get to 6 or so you just want the movie to start.

AMC theaters are by far the worst offenders here. There were six trailers, a commercial for...something and the usual beg to go buy soda/snacks at my F7 show. My favorite theater shows three trailers, no external ads and then the film starts. On time. A tolerable balance.

This is how I feel, even of it is like 5 trailers. Only problem is a lot of the time you just get garbage ones. If its something like mad max, star wars etc I could watch tons of them.
