The fact that JW2 is competing with TI2 instead of Infinity War for 3rd or 4th is pretty unreal. I’m not entirely sure on JW2 beating TI2/BP worldwide but we’ll know after this weekend. Unfortunately, it won’t come anywhere close to making the mega profits of the first one which makes me sad for future instalments :(
Although JW can’t compare to the high quality Marvel or Pixar films, I still find them enjoyable. Maybe it might be better than expected.
TI2 still broke the animated movie record adjusted for inflation which was held by Shrek 2, although that will get broken again next year by Toy Story 4. It’s worth celebrating \o/
Tbh I’ve only seen 2 trailers and that’s about it. These days I’m going in with low expectations unless it’s an MCU where I’m weak and will watch almost every TV Spot/trailer. I find going in with low expectations thus less spoilers makes for a better experience.
We won’t know exactly how much they’ve lost until Deadline Hollywood do their end of the year Box Office reports. One thing for sure is Disney’s MASSIVE profits from the other movies this year will ensure they’re once again the most successful and profitable studio in 2018. Gotta take those risks to be king :D
You’re still doubting the HOTTEST sub studio in Marvel Studios after 2 x $600M in the one year? LOL. You should join the winning side, Queen! It’s so much more fun plus there’s cookies and milk I promise! XD
I’m predicting a decent bump to those 2 popular movies plus modest totals for the others with CR/MP2 having potentially to exceed and TN having potential to fail. [b]What numbers are you predicting for them exactly?[/b]
Yeah, JW1 is the definition of a lightning in a bottle situation. TI2 opening that big means it's a event film and is unfortunately for JW2 one of the worse things that could happen to it's box office potential. We'll see what happens next week.
I too hope it'll do well! I'll be seeing it once it comes out over here and judge it for myself but I do generally like all the JP/JW movies.
Yeah, theoretically it could with the usual Pixar legs but I'm happy regardless that it's making at least $500M because that was my initial hope. The release date is incredibly staggered because of the World Cup so I can't really put my finger on it's International gross and where it may land.
Do you see Disney beating the studio DOMESTIC record this year? It has at least $35M from Solo and Infinity War left so that's $1.8B. Another minimum of $500M from TI2 is $2.3B. Then bare minimums of $200M/$200M from Ant-Man/Wreck-It-Ralph plus bare minimums $125M/$125M/$150M from Christopher Robin/Nutcracker/Mary Poppins. I'm using the lowest potential earnings and it still seems like it'll get there with ease.
Oh, it's definitely exploding in China. I see it doing at least $350M!
I think it's served it's purpose well for the fight on Titan and we probably won't end up seeing it again.
It was definitely a surprise. I kept thinking he was merely going to provide a voice over that vaguely resembled him but this was even better!
It might not but the point of the quote was to demonstrate expectations and how people judge them. It's beating even your wildest prediction which makes it's run exceptional thus far. Can't be disappointed with it's 'less-than-stellar' weekend drops and potential box office if it's beating both what you deemed to be a 'good' total and multiplier :D
BTW I'm sure the other studios would prefer to be having the [b]current[/b] earth shattering profits and records set by Disney/Marvel studios instead of reminiscing about multipliers from previous years, right? Can you imagine the head of Universal Pictures just being satisfied by reminiscing about past multipliers and then realising that Disney is currently leading them by 3 times their amount with a third of the year gone LOL.
Thanos is supposedly the only Titan alive so he would've conveniently bypassed the rule.
Thanos would've still used the full might of the Power Stone to take out Hela especially with no Asgardians left on the planet. Would've been a crazy fight though!
Marvel is going to be the first studio to have 2 $600M domestic grossers in the same year! Truly amazing by Disney. I feel bad for the other studios trying to compete somehow :(

Ok...I'll play.
If it's good:
OW - 215 million
Total Domestic - 475 million
Global - 1.2 billion
If it's a turkey:
OW - 170 million
Total Domestic - 380 million
Global - 1 billion[/quote]
By you own definition this is already doing better than 'good'. So it's performing remarkable/amazing(bigger gross and multiplier) at it's current pace :D
Wait, doesn't 95% of what you talk about not involve the 'box office' and 'profitability'? Do you get a cut of that loot when talking about them? LOL
That wouldn't be a wise bet. I don't even see how it beats Jurrasic Worlds 1 OW. It doesn't have the 'hook'(park opening) or the 'nostalgia' factor. I see a drop like The Last Jedi. It's not getting WW OW either since it has a staggered released.
$60M Overseas on a Monday is utterly insane. Words can't describe how much of a success this movie is. I thought $1.6B was my hope before the movie released (slightly above Avengers 1) but this is blowing through all expectations. The fact it would've opened with $800M+ with China and Russia is also bonkers. Disney cannot be stopped!
It'll most likely affect Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D in some way like a few of the events from the movies. It's always been more reactive in that regards. I think the Netflix series will continue like they have with maybe a very vague reference but I feel like they exist in their own bubble, so they won't impact it much. It's most likely too late to effect all the NF shows between now and Avengers 4.
I see it doing similar numbers to Doctor Strange but I wouldn't be surprised if it actually did even more. The MCU brand is at an all time high and people are hungry for more MCU films. Iron Man 3 got a massive boost after Avengers 1 with it's great WOM, while Ant-Man 1 didn't light the world on fire after Avengers 2 supposed so-so WOM. Ant-Man itself did have a great multiplier though and was one of the standouts from CW. The biggest hurdle IMO is whether or not the general audience will be too confused that it follows the events of CW and not AIW. I'm hoping that the last 5 minutes directly links itself to AIW and that it gives people an extra incentive to go watch.
My predictions are - OW $85M
DOM - $240M
WW - $700M
