I said this in a previous thread, but I don't see how it increases another 30% on top of Catching Fire to hit $1B (assuming domestic is flat). It's only been 1 year. This is not the final film.

Very relieved about HTTYD.
Now do the Dragon 3 ASAP before we forget again.
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes.
Highest grossing of the franchise in the US/CA
1 Dawn of the Planet of the Apes Fox $189,330,000
2 Planet of the Apes (2001) Fox $180,011,740
3 Rise of the Planet of the Apes Fox $176,760,185
4 Planet of the Apes Fox $32,589,624
Despite opening with ~$20 million less than ASM2 and Godzilla, Apes is already ~$4 million ahead of them after 24 days.
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes $72,611,427 / $189,330,000 / 24
Godzilla $93,188,384 / $185,214,185 / 24
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 $91,608,337 / $184,924,580 / 24
(though that says more about the terrible legs of the other two)
Still some $34 million below Rise worldwide, but it's only a matter of time (China gets it August 29, it seems):
1 Rise of the Planet of the Apes Fox $481.8
2 Dawn of the Planet of the Apes Fox $447.5
3 Planet of the Apes (2001) Fox $362.2
Hope it reaches $600 million ww.

On an unrelated, note, X-Men Days of Future Past died very quickly this past week in the US/CA. The dream of surpassing The Last Stand is over. =\

Exactly.
Said it before, and stand by it. 4 years between films killed the franchise's momentum.

Glad to see that Lucy's still holding it down!
Great numbers for GotG, it's a relief that a project that was considered risky is considered a success (and a good movie on top of that). Hope it means more out there adaptations in the future. International gross seem to be a bit disappointing compared to other Marvel movies this year, guess we'll see when it opens everywhere (which will take a while).
HTTYD 2 will make more than its predecessor internationally, which is great news. But it's in the same situation as Kung Fu Panda 2, Dreamworks probably expected a lot more from it... I don't really get it, usually sequels to beloved animated movies don't struggle like both those did (see Despicable Me, Shrek, Toy Story, Madagascar...)
I'm surprised nobody thinks the third Hobbit movie doesn't have a shot at a billion, Desolation got really close despite following a divisive first movie, if they market the battle of the five armies correctly, they should be able to get there (even if it has to crawl to a billion like the first one).
I don't Hunger Games doing it, it would require some pretty insane growth overseas.

I think Dragon 3 has already been given a 2016 release date so if all goes to plan we won't have another 4 year wait.

But I'm actually optimistic that HTTYD 2 will surpass Madagascar. Hell, if it continues to do well, it might even match and surpass Puss And Boots. This is the time where HTTYD 2 really is starting to show profits for Dreamworks.
It started out quite mediocre, but it's really been gaining ground in the past few weeks. I'm really pleased with how well it's been performing lately.

^Will be very interested to see if it does anything in China.
The first one didn't make a big splash, but Dreamworks has been cozying up to that market for a couple years.

To be fair, I'm at three viewings. Mostly because each group of friends I've been hanging out with have people already going, so I've been tagging along.

saw on Thursday free so I have to rewatch GotG later this week
The only superhero films that make significantly more money are the Avengers, Iron Man, Batman and Superman (assuming this is domestic gross).
$200M+ is pretty good for the rest.
This was my most anticipated movie of the year. So glad to see that not only did the movie totally deliver, but audiences thought so as well with those box office numbers. The Marvel brand is unstoppable, going to be crazy watching how they do next year.
As for GotG at the moment, I'm hoping it does great overseas and in its second week. Would be surreal if it was the highest grossing comic book movie of the year.

What if James Cameron directed Avengers 3?
It's doing well. It has grossed $15 million after two weekends. ASM2 was at $14 million in the same time and reached $30 million in the end.
The newest Rurouni Kenshin was the no. 1 movie in Japan, with estimated ¥860 million. Good increase from the first one -- ¥560 million.

The raccoon obviously, looking cute and adorable lol.
There was a lot of awwing going on when I saw it. A group of girls went aww at pretty much anytime Groot or Rocket had an emotional/cute moment.

So many people still left. I was shaking my head.
hope y'all true fans
I was surprised at my showing. I maybe counted like less than 10 people leaving. Otherwise everyone was glued to their seats for both scenes.
Good I hope it bombs. Michael Bay must be stopped.

There was more people that stayed than people that left, and there were a lot of small kids at my showing, but I was still surprised.
Like, why even see a movie in the theater, if you're not gonna stay for the whole thing?
