Anyone afraid POTC 2 might break any Spidey Records?

[ultimatefan]

True, but Shrek 2 was also a fluke in that it had no real competition in the "family" movie category for the entire summer it came out. Thus, kids just went to see it over and over again.

Judging by the number of CGI animated funny-animal movies with wannabe-hip pop-culture related humor in the theaters right now, I don't think Shrek 3 is going to have the same advantage the second one did.

I don´t think so, it´s a well-established franchise at this point, like HP or Spider-Man. I have no idea why Shrek 2 was so huge being little more than a retread of the first with lotsa pop culture jokes that were already dated by the end of that year... But, well, go figure...

the movie is expected to come extremely close or match the record.

i highly doubt it will be beaten. this movie was definitely not as hyped as SM1 was.

 

[Captivated]

I WILL NOT go see any movie on it's opening weekend that has ANY chance of beating Spidey's record. I would encourage other fans to do the same.

 

[Yurka]

as of today X3 has grossed 422 mil worldwide, POTC 2 will come nowhere close to that, and SM3 will blow that number away

 

[YodatheHobbit]

I dont care how much money either movie makes. Good luck to the studios, but I'm a fan of Spidey, not of sony's or Disney's money.

 

[Lando81]

They are making a Passion of the Christ 2?

Spider-Man 3's trailer will also be attached to Pirates Of The Caribbean 2, so the more people who sees it, the more people who will see the SM3's teaser trailer. http://www.clickthecity.com/cityscope/?p=1182

No POTC 2 or Supes returns(which is getting pretty average numbers only) is gonna beat Spider-Man's record.

 

[Spider Man]

Spidey's record is safe. PotC has gained a lot of popularity, but it won't surpass Spidey for the simple fact that Spidey has a 40+ year fan base that Pirates doesn't.

but that is just so ridiculous and inmature. Why? What is the point in that? the record becomes meaningless when people purposely don't go see the movie so as not to contribute to it's opening weekend. It really does become meaningless.

and on top of that Who gives a crap? as long as the movie is successful then the budget will be there to produce the next movie. I just care about the movie being good. the more spidey sells the bigger budget it gets next time, but other movies?

How well these other movies do has no bearing on how anything will play out involving spider-man.

 

[blitz]

even if other movies come close or beat spidey (which they wont) Spidey 3 will still gross an insane amount of money.

You're kidding, right?

 

[Cmill216]

Nice.

 

[Parquagh]

LOL PotC2!! nice

 

[Yurka]

You're kidding, right?

that X3 has made 422 mil or that POTC2 wont come anywhere close? because i would really be surprised if it gets into the 370's

 

[Spider-Man™]

Spidey will remain supreme.

 

[Cmill216]

The latter.

We are talking worldwide. You do know that, right?

 

[Yurka]

The latter.

We are talking worldwide. You do know that, right?

um yeah, it might have a big opening week but the total worldwide gross will be mid 300 mil, as i said before if it breaks into the 370 mil i would be amazed

 

[Cmill216]

um yeah, it might have a big opening week but the total worldwide gross will be mid 300 mil, as i said before if it breaks into the 370 mil i would be amazed

....You do know the first one made $655 million worldwide. Right?

 

[Yurka]

....You do know the first one made $655 million worldwide. Right?

my bad i got domestic and worldwide mixed up, but still i dont think POTC2 will be as successful as the 1st, just like with SM1 and SM2 SM1 made 821 mil worldwide and SM2 made 783 mil worldwide. i think POTC2 will be a good movie and will get good reviews but as far as being a "hit" i think the first 1 will stay ahead

It'll open bigger (POTC 2), but it'll be close as to whether or not it tops the first. My gut tells me it will, but I don't know.

Pashion Of The Christ 2? they made a sequel?

Someone beat you to the joke.

 

[EnSabahNur]

I was dead serious untill i realized it was Pirates lol.

 

[Fanticon]

lets move this thread to imdb...its childish....who the hell cares about a non comic book movie making more money or breaking records of something like Spiderman...if it does...I'll be happy for it...and that means the makers of Spidey 3 will have to work even harder to ensure that their movie is gonna be the one to beat next year....biznatches.
