Official Spider-Man 3 Box Office Thread - Predictions and Forecasts

I doubt FF2's going to make more than 300...

 

[Tempest19]

Agree to disagree, leave it at that. We both have varying opinions and will obviously not sway each other's opinions. None of us have seen the numbers, thus there is nothing but speculation.

 

[Stupify_me]

I doubt FF2's going to make more than 300...

Hmm not sure what your saying lol damn them for having that title.

If you are saying FF2 will not make more than 300M I agree

If you are saying that FF2 won't beat 300 the movie I strongly disagree.

In Tempest's defense, I will say this: I love Spider-Man but the Transformers first full trailer got me more excited than SM3's first theaterical trailer. I'm pretty sure SM3 will remain my favorite movie, but the trailer wasn't very good, the editting was bad, and the music....wtf? Only in the last 3 min trailer did they get things somewhat right. The music in the Transformers trailer had me damn near standing up.

I'm thinking close to $100M opening for Transformers is definitely possible, but there will be a big drop second weekend.



And about the thread topic, I think alot of things correlate to Spider-man 3's box office and it's future performance, so I think it's alright if other movies' box offices are discussed as well.


Those hating on F42 need to realize that the general public was very entertained by it as seen by it's box office performance regardless of the bashing by critics who hated it before they even saw it. The general public who didn't see the movie in theaters because of the critics and saw it on video and were entertained by it will now be ready for the sequel. And never underestimate the marketing of Fox. I'm betting F42 will surpass $200M easily.

I simply don't get how anyone can want to see this movie. To me all the trailer communicates is that they had good CGI. I think the movie came off looking ******ed from the trailer. Despite that I figured I would still give it a chance so I read the script and realized it was worse than I thought. I suggest you dig that up before you blow your money. Then again if you actually think the trailer looks good you might even like one of the worst scripts i have seen in the last 4 years.

To each his own dude. You chose the path of the hate, I chose the path of the TF followers. I can't personally see how someone can't like it.

Bingo.

 

[Stupify_me]

Bingo.

Sorry but I see FF2 getting in the range of 215-225

I see it just barely beating 300 most likely but beating it none the less

Just because I don't think FF2 will do better than 300, that makes me a hater?

I think what Stupify is saying is that you are coming off wrong about your opinion.......you know, the same thing I told you but you didn't listen. People have different opinions....it happens. I agree with Stupify, Transformers doesn't really grab you, it has good effects and things blowing up but it just seems a little off. And yes.......I to believe F42 will make more than Transformers.

Some of us like good movies that are about more than just "WaTcH HoW MAnY ThiNGS theY CAn BLoW uP!!!111!!!"

There is no special story there is no depth there is nothing to this but a bunch of explosions and a tiny little unremarkable love story that never really goes anywhere special hell it's hard to eve call it a love story maybe a puppy LIKE story. Mostly though it's just a bunch of CGI and BOOOOOMMMM!!!!!

And you're expecting more from FF2?

 

[Stupify_me]

And you're expecting more from FF2?

Yea FF2 appears to actually have a story and if they stick even close to the Silver Surfer character from the comics there will be a very good story.

 

[Tempest19]

As I said- TO EACH HIS OWN

There is no swaying my opinion and there is no swaying yours- so why are we even bothering at that?

And Docker, are you even reading the posts- I never tried to sway Stupify's opinion about anything, all I said was- "to each is own" and I don't agree- if anything Stupify is the one 'attacking' me and other people excited for the film by rushing to conclusions and grouping us as only action, no substance junkies... you do know what "to each is own" means right? That means "we are each entitled to our own opinions, you have yours- I have mine. No point in attacking other's opinions." Tell me how the fck that is coming off wrong- explain that. I'm saying a "live and let die", Stupify wants to turn this into some kind of bickering argument that lasts forever and frankly- goes no where. And about earlier, I was confused about what you were saying- 32 mil, doesn't make sense... at all; but just over 100 mil and not really as high as someone might think- makes sense and is possible, never said anything against that in a derogatory manner (only the thought of the biggest flop in cinematic history (32 mil)).

And btw, the character that I relate to most- in EVERY comic type movie is... Sam Witwicky. That's me. I am Sam. Or at least personality wise. So, no- for me the robots isn't what makes me excited. It's Sam's story that I can't wait to see.

So just stop rushing to conclusions on why someone might want to see the film- because, you think you got me pegged? Think again, dude.

I am!

After the first Fantastic Four and X3, I doubt that FF2 won't follow in their steps. Especially if the movie turns out to be only 89-95 minutes long like rumored.

Read the post you said to me when I posted my opinion. Better yet, read the first two post you said to me and tell me that isn't getting upset cuase their opinion differs from yours.

 

[Tempest19]

Dude, I said 32 mil is stupid and it is... because that would, I am pretty sure, make it the biggest flop of ALL TIME.

You later cleared yourself up, and there were no derogatory statements made, as I recall. And that second time- you got confused and I cleared it up for you by posting the chronological posts and what I was replying to. You asked if I would change my mind about my opinion of the opinion of 'Stealth' numbers, and I simply said I wouldn't- my opinion is the same and won't change.

Could it be disappointing? Yeah. It very well could, it's possible.

Could it be the biggest flop of all time (which I thought you were implying by saying 'Stealth' like numers- and you later cleared up my misconception of your post)? No, that, to me, is beyond ridiculous because of what that would entail (possibly the biggest flop of ALL TIME).

Ok this thread has turned into a flame war...lets get back to Spidey.

I want nothing of the sort. First of all there are more people in this thread then you I wasn't only talking to you. So just because you say live and let die doesn't mean I can't respond to others.

Also you can't try to act like you were taking the higher ground by saying to each his own but in the same post make more points to try and progress your argument.

 

[Stupify_me]

Ok this thread has turned into a flame war...lets get back to Spidey.

Not really people aren't saying things like

***** you
You stupid *****ing idiot
I hope you *****ing die
YOu are the dumbest person I have ever met


Those are flames we are having a heated discussion (If it's even that personally I don't think it's even heated.) Heated isn't always flames.

 

[Tempest19]

Progress what argument? I said why I PERSONALLY LIKED IT. I said why I liked it.

Because it sounded like you were trying to make me sound like some action junkie. You were, um- replying to my post with this comment:

"Some of us like good movies that are about more than just "WaTcH HoW MAnY ThiNGS theY CAn BLoW uP!!!111!!!"

And you honestly didn't think I wouldn't get offended by that? Get real dude. Responding to everyone? Hmm, you quoted me when you stated that- so, um... yeah, no wonder I thought and still think that was aimed directly at ME.

I simply made it clear that I'm not the action junkie you tried to make me out to look like. I said why I liked the film- Sam's story and because that's the once character in all these films I relate to most. How is that arguing? Hmm, maybe it's to you because you want to make me look like some cliche action junkie. When, in fact, I am anything but that.

To me what makes a good film is an interesting story and a relatable character that I can see myself taking a journey through. Whether that be independent films, yes I see alot of independent films, drama films, action films, etc.

Another one of the films I like alot is "In Good Company" because I can relate to the character of Carter Duryea.

So progressing my argument? WHAT ARGUMENT????? ALL I SAID IS WHY I LIKE THE FILM.... oh, mad that I don't fit into your perfect little box?

 

[Docker2.0]

F42 seems to be close to the comics. People have been bashing this movie before it even came out. People seem to want Story to fail. The rumor of Galactus has been debunked by Story but yet people are still bashing him for it. Yet and still the trailers are awesome. And we can't really believe critics cuase if we did, SM3, POTC3, and Shrek3(I think) were all bashed by critics.

Maybe you should try to read the script before you plan to go watch this for Sam's story.

Your' one to talk man after watching the way you were talking to some of the other guys earlier I couldn't help but laugh when you got all upset about what I said. Look back on how you treated some of the other guys like Nintendo and docker before you start acting all holier than thou.

That's all I will say. Have fun dude.

 

[Tempest19]

I have fcking read the script dude.
