The Winter Soldier Captain America: The Winter Soldier Box Office Prediction Thread

So...600 Mil is within the realm of possibility here hopefully?

 

[Ms. Marvel]

It was always in the realm of possibility...I thought.

Seems like an eventuality at this point.

 

[KangConquers]

How possible do you guys think $700 M is?

Going to have to wait for next week's numbers. It should be far more clear by then. TWS should have a big third week domestically with the holiday, so next week is the real question mark. Right now though, I'd say it is a real possibility.

 

[Superhero 101]

I think it's possible if cap can hit 300 domestic

 

[KangConquers]

I wonder if Cap's stronger bows in Asian territories can compensate for it's lower European bows in terms of matching Thor: The Dark World internationally.

 

[Ms. Marvel]

Yeah I think that's what is going to happen.

 

[MessiahDecoy123]

It should also get a nice boost from North America and get an extra 50 million.

That with Asia should level out the worldwide total with Thor 2.

Great opening weekend! Hopefully this blows past TDW's numbers. It deserves it. Easily the best comic movie since the Avengers.

For some context, where TWS ranks among all Marvel films:

No. 8, right under Iron Man!

 

[MessiahDecoy123]

8th biggest opening doesn't sound impressive but that's stacked against Spider-man, Iron Man and Avengers.

Yeah , some huge heavy hitters there!

It's in the top 10 that's still impressive by any standers, especially since it's a sequel.

 

[Suzanne78]

Well, and look where the first one is on the list

It's a huge, huge leap forward.

 

[psylockolussus]

I didn't really expect it to get 100 million in the opening weekend, but 96 million is close enough and it should be able to outgross other Marvel films like Thor 2, X2 and X3.

 

[The Caped Knight]

Easily Cap will probably be the Summer blockbuster of 2014

 

[Suzanne78]

I'd love for it to outgross every movie… but we still have a ways to go before summer is over LOL!

Still, it's a $300+mil. movie and deserves every last bloody red cent!

 

[psylockolussus]

Easily Cap will probably be the Summer blockbuster of 2014

Is it already summer in the America?

Most likely, Transformers or Amazing Spider-Man will be THE summer blockbuster of 2014.

How possible do you guys think $700 M is?

Not impossible, but fairly improbable now, I think. With this opening weekend, it's looking at a potentially good run toward about $250-260m domestic (unless it gets killer legs, which is certainly possible), so to hit $700m, it would need to eclipse Thor 2's overseas take. I just don't see that happening. To me, the optimistic target here is now $650-670mil.

That's almost double the first one's total take?

I like that.

I like that.

I like that. too.
Great movie Btw .

 

[DJ_KiDDvIcIOUs]

Just got back from seeing it again with my buddy. He loved it and that says something because he did not like CA:TFA at all. And it was even better for me the second time around. Really happy to see it doing so well!

 

[FeedOnATreeFrog]

I wonder if Marvel and WB will fight for 2016 April spot now...

I never understood why they wouldnt want to be first. The Jan - March drought makes the first big blockbuster that much more welcomed. There's no Summer blockbuster fatigue.

Though I guess theres the thought that Star Wars could be delayed a few months and could overshadow an April release. Disney wouldnt want their own movies competing against one another. I dont know.

Anyways, I think Cap 2 will do quite well. Good movie and zero competition for the entire month.

Yeah, and one of the very few sequels that are actually better than the original, and right now, I think Captain America is the only one in the Marvel universe that can claim that!
