Age of Ultron Early Avengers 2 Box Office Prediction Thread - Part 2

[Lord]

Cause there are so many films to hit above Avengers 1 numbers...

It will just to have to settle being in the top 5 grossing films of all time ww. Poor Age Of Ulton.

With all the other major films coming out, that's set to change in the coming years. Remember when Return of the King and Dead Man's Chest were in 2nd and 3rd place? 5 years ago they were still holding that record, now, PotC: DMC isn't even in the top 10, and Return of the king is ready to fall from the top 10 anytime soon.

Obviously. But we are not living in the future. Marvel will have other films as well.

Next year will be an interesting one.

It sure will...

BvS or Civil War? I wonder which film will make the most coin?

 

[def28]

I really have no idea. Both are throwing everything they got at audiences.

Could be wrong, but as I mentioned a few pages back I don't think the crossover novelty will sell as strong with either film as it did for Avengers 1. Both will do impressive numbers for sure, but much like AOU I think the high fan predictions will be off for both BvS and CW.

Agreed.

I think BvS will win this battle.

Lets hope im wrong but i think Cap 3 CW will not outgross AoU.
1,25-1-35 bil is my guess.

AoU will hit the 1,4 bil when Japan ends its run.

As far as IW i think it will be difficult to challenge Avatar if China continues to treat the Avengers franchise as a "b-level" blockbuster.

It's the closing of the franchise(the first part anyway)so it will end up making the most. I was right(originally)about this film(look at my vote in the poll!)and I'm so sure about CA:CW and IW that I'd bet you $2 that it will uptake Avatar!

um, what?

Google is your friend!

They do? Isn't Age of Ultron almost reaching the 3rd place as highest grossing film in China? Seems to me like they treat it like an A-level blockbuster there, they just don't seem to like it as much as Transformers 4 or Furious 7.

 

[def28]

Yeah, I don't understand that pov.

Avengers doesn't always have to be #1 in order to be successful or well liked in places.

No prizes for 3rd best. Marvel will never get anywhere in life if they continue to ship out this b-level blockbuster ****e /sarcasm

^^^ Considering how T4 AoE did 320 mil one year ago im shocked A:AoU didnt do at least 300 mil.

Frankly it had 1 year growth advantage which easily is 10% with the rate China grows annually so yeah i dont like the 230-250 mil gross and im being sarcastic. For sure AoU isnt considered b-level in China i know that. I just dont get it.

Btw FF7 390 mil is probably on par with T4 AoE 320 mil due to growth advantage. Yes China grows super fast. New theaters built daily. Its astonishing google it.

Anyways.

Total Lifetime Grosses
Domestic: $427,070,000 32.3%
+ Foreign: $894,200,000 67.7%
= Worldwide: $1,321,270,000

Harry Potter 7 DH pt 2 is going down next weekend. AoU is only sort of 20,2 mil to claim its spot for the number 5 WW gross of all time.

P.S. - FF7 is at 1506,2 mil WW and needs 12,4 to match Avengers for the number 3 WW spot of all time. Will it get there ? Not sure.
P.S.2 - Do you guys think AoU will make the 450 mil US milestone ? Its gonna be pretty close. 445-455 i think.

WTF is up with you sprouting out all these numbers all the time? I'm content with A:AoU getting #5 on the All time list. Honestly, in my eyes it performed like I originally thought. I actually think CA: CW will either equal or surpass this and definitely think IW 1&2 will challenge Avatar.

 

[8ulk]

^ What can i say i like numbers. Although at 1st i was sure for IW pt 1 & 2 challenging Avatar's record AoU gross in the USA and China made me skeptical. "Underperforming" (if we can say this) in those 2 critical markets wont get you high enough.

I dont think CW will beat AoU. Either way im gonna be happy.Its poised to join the billion dollar club and im fine with that.

Imho IW has to hit the 300 mil mark in China considering how much the market will have grown there otherwise it will be a "failure" of sorts. After all T4 AoE was garbage and FF7 wasnt a quality movie (even though i enjoyed it) and they did it with EASE.

 

[Docker2.0]

I was only kidding sir. But I agree with you. As long as CW makes over $1B WW, I'm happy. I still say it will out perform A:AoU do to Spiderman and Black Panther being involved. Is Daredevil going to be in it as well?

One can dream . I don't think there's really any evidence that this is going to happen though. Though I'm perfectly content with him primarily existing on TV, the character is so well done that it would be a crime for him not to pop up in the Cinematic Universe. Heck, throw him into one of the upcoming Spider-Man films. That would be an awesome team up and a possible mentor for Spider-Man.

Box Office Mojo says the same thing so I guess both sites are back to being on the same page. Good to see, especially for an OCD freak like me. :P

 

[Iceman]

At least nice that the film will do more overseas than the first even though a big chunk is from improved China numbers. And maybe the currency will be more in favour for films further down the line.

 

[8ulk]

From what i understand Murdock/Daredevil will only be mentioned / referenced in Civil War. I dont think he ll actually get a scene/cameo. But we ll see.
There is no official word confirming or denying he ll be or not.

 

[ctsketch]

There is nothing to "understand" now because all mentions of DD so far have been fan hopes (and Cox hopes)

 

[dalonewolf]

The movie made over $1.3 B WW! Some people are painting this as doom and gloom and it's far from that! I actually think it came out at the wrong time. We will see what CW does next year. I also think Marvel should stop releasing films overseas first. Release them at the same time. You are giving bootleggers time to increase their profits by ramping up production while consumer demands are higher at lower cost.

I think people are just mad at the movie domestic numbers more than anything a
Avengers 623mil dom
Age of ultron will end up around 450-460 Dom that seems to be the problem
P.s not trolling just saying a real fact

No, I think you're right. Maybe people weren't expecting Avengers type numbers domestically but I think most people's expectations of $500M+ were very reasonable because they were going in with the understandable notion that if any movie were to come close to the juggernaut that is The Avengers, it would be its sequel.

For me, it's not so much disappointment (because how in the world does its total box office gross impact me?), but total surprise. The movie is still very big, but I thought it would be even bigger here in North America.

 

[Leenie]

So Age of Ultron is a failure because it has ONLY reached $1.3 billion?

Lulz.

Who said it's a failure? This kind of hyperbole is a big part of the problem when it comes to this particular debate. I do see people calling the movie a "failure" and trolling on sites like IMDB but it seems really reasonable and mature here.

Weekend update (May 29-31):

BoxOffice ‏@BoxOffice 1h1 hour ago
AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON took in $11.40M this weekend. Domestic total stands at $427.55M. #Avengers #AgeOfUltron

The overseas total is up to $894,200,000, bringing the total gross to $1,321,751,427. It will officially pass The Avengers' overseas gross today, seeing as how it's exactly $1M behind.

I'm just saying that just because a movie doesn't reach expectations, that doesn't make it unsuccessful. Some people are not happy that Fast & Furious 7 is beating this movie at the box office when it comes to WW numbers.

$1.3 billion is an impressive number no matter how you look at it.

I agree 100%. I just think it's understandable for people to be comparing this movie to its prequel. It's only natural to do so for any movies in a franchise.

Like I said though, I agree with your overall point. Nobody can possibly look at the big picture and call this movie a failure or a disappointment or whatever. It's still a juggernaut and will likely end its run as the 5th highest grossing film of all time. Enough said.
