I wonder if they could use "Captain America v. Iron Man: Civil War."

You have not seen the movies before those 2. Kingsman is the only good movie that didn't sucked.
I don't really get it. The movie itself was pretty bad.

Opposite for me. Ultron was a mediocre action movie only saved by Whedon dialogue but even that got tiring after a while (also felt really long). At least Furious 7 was way more memorable in the action department from the Azerbaijan chase, Dubai skyscrapers, warehouse Kurt Russell badassery, and LA drone chase. I can't remember much good action momens from Ultron other than "go to sleep".
family > plot. Teens love that shit.
It's a mystery. Not even the action was well done.
No Avengers number yet?
Disney thinking twice about putting out a bullshit $200 million and have people print it as news. I expect a big readjustment tomorrow to $195 million or less...
Maybe if the fight affected the movie so much, the second weekend drop will be lower. We'll see.
Wonder if Furious 7 can beat the first Avengers $1.519 billion.

The only thing I can think of is the Paul Walker thing giving it a bump.
Estimates for full weekend are 189-191 million.

Kswiston, does furious 7 have a serious chance at hitting Avengers 1?

Bay & Furious 7 made 1.4 Billion? Holy smokes.
Forbes contributor. I am not seeing that same number from any of the sources that actually provide numbers though.

What?
$187m is considered sad and shameful?

Something fucked is going on at Forbes because that's not what the headline of the actual article is and that's not at all how it actually reads.

NOT A RECORD! Marvel bomba!
December openings are generally much smaller than summer openings. The record December opening is $84 million from The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (which it should of course obliterate). It will have serious legs though with no competition for weeks ahead after it's release. It won't be posting Age of Ultron numbers in it's opening weekend but it'll be the biggest December opening regardless.

Not by much and that still doesn't really make it sad or shameful though. It'll hold the record for the second biggest opening of all time. That's pretty damn impressive.
The true test will be how well it holds over the coming weeks.
I don't know, I don't think it will personally.
In it's opening weekend? Yeah not a chance.

I think they changed it...? Unless I'm going crazy, when I clicked it the first time it said exactly that.

I had a feeling that the record for all time opening was going to be hard to reach. Before this weekend I had doubts it could do it, but after Friday I was thinking it was in reach. But man, the legs got cut out of the film on Saturday by the fight. Still an impressive opening. And now to see how the second weekend fares.
EDIT: And Star Wars isn't beating this for opening weekend. It could double the previous December record and still not top this. December is all about legs and weekdays.

44 TV spots? Jezzzus /zandig
Someone should edit those into its own movie. They must show everything.

LOL, why are people hung up on whether the writer is a staffer or contributor? Forbes published the article as their website's report on the numbers.
Also, the headline was changed to 'Box Office: 'Avengers 2' Snags 'Just' $187M In Near-Record Weekend'.

187 million now? The weekend total keeps going lower every day damn. Was hoping the opposite would happen
Probably a reflex to the amount of garbage Forbes contributors spew on Gaming side.

I am still baffled Disney out out the statement about the opening weekend record being in sight on Friday. So dumb.
Tracking was 230 mil.
