Nah it'll bring in half a billion overseas alone.

It would make sense for the film to have a better domestic/foreign split than the original, since there is expansion overseas, and the reception probably won't hurt it as much overseas. I was just giving a reference point to how poor the domestic tracking seems to be.

I didn't expect to see this thread again. Obviously I and many other people were very wrong abut this film. It didn't just do less business than the first film as we are expected, it out right bombed. The biggest bomb of the summer so far.
Who would expect a sequel to a billion film would far so hard.

No ones expecting this to have the same level of success as the first. If it does end up with jusr 180 million domestic it won't be considered "awful". Disney's got a lot of bigger fish this year that are taking priority. Hence their releasing this same weekend as X-Men
shareMaybe you're right. I guess I was expecting it to be bigger since Alice was on a lot of people's top 10 lists at the beginning of the year. With these numbers, even if it does make half a billion overseas, it would only have $680 million. That isn't really enough to scrape into the top 10.
As I look through the predictions different publications and users have made for Alice, this doesn't actually seem that troubling after all.
I really disliked the first one, and I think I was paranoid that the next one was going to be as big as the X-Men and stuff.

Disney's releasing it against X-men, so it looks like they ate kind of dumping it.
I think they are counting on foreign gross to help it break even.
If it simply breaks even they'll be happy to just move on. They've got much bigger fish to fry.
Since I'm not slobbering all over Johnny's knob I presume.

Idiots. If they had moved the film up just one week forward it wouldn't have to deal with Apocalypse and they could probably open number 1.
There's no way this movie can make much more than 500 million going against Apocalypse.

Overseas audiences are not as enamored with Super Heroes as the US
That seems to be in line with what I was thinking.
shareThat's still a fine number when you consider that there is more competition in May than in early March and six years have passed since the first film. Not fantastic, though, but fine. As far as quality is concerned, I originally thought this looked entertaining, but the more marketing materials get released, the more bland and dull it looks. I might just wait to rent it.
shareTracking has gotten worse. I think that ALice 2 might be a textbook example of a sequel that nobody wanted.
