Predict Rank: Avengers 2 vs Avatar 2 vs Batman v Superman vs Star Wars 7

[DA_Champion]

In terms of box office:
1) Avatar 2
2) Avengers 2
3) Batman vs Superman
4) Star Wars 7

In terms of personal enjoyment:
1) Avengers 2
2) Batman vs Superman, Avatar 2 (tie)
3) Star Wars 7

ETA: Can a mod fix the title to the thread? It has an extra "vs" at the end.

I think Star Wars can easily make more money than Batman vs. Superman, unless Batman really can get the box office numbers for Man of Steel's sequel.

I don't have any interest on the new Star Wars and Avatar 2, i think Avengers 2 will be a comedy blast awesomesoness, i just really hope the 3rd act isn't CGI Ultron Iron Legion festival of explosions, Marvel/Hollywood needs to stop those explosive 3rd acts, more 1 on 1 fist fights please!

Avengers is the new king of the box office and Avengers 2 is going to prove it.

1. Avengers (AOU).
2. Star Wars (Hell this is interchangeable with Avengers 2)
3. Batman vs Superman
4. Avatar 2 (Think this is going to under perform, the hype was the technology behind this film)

 

[The Endless]

I think it's safe to say all these films are gonna make at least a billion.

I'm looking forward to Age of Ultron the most. But i've always wanted to see Bats n Supes on screen together. And Star Wars is Star Wars... i'm sure it'll be better than the prequels.

Couldn't care less about Avatar 2 tbh.

I think what will happen is this: Avatar 2 won't' make as much money in the US as the first one, BUT it'll make gangbusters overseas.

Not many sequels do, especially sequels to really big movies. Looking at movies that grossed over $400 million domestically, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire is the only sequel so far that has been able to improve on the original. And in this case I think that the sequel was released in the holiday season instead of March might have helped it.

It helps that Hunger Games: Catching Fire was incredible, one of the best blockbusters in recent years.

Crazy as we haven't as yet seen anything from any of these films...
Just seems like an odd phrasing. I suppose it's meant as an anticipatory thing.

And in this case I think that the sequel was released in the holiday season instead of March might have helped it.

Ignoring that 400million stipulation, I was under the impression that most solid sequels to successful films make a great deal more than the predecessor. From spidey to most of these marvel films to dc films to pirates and tf and so on. Like matrix into reloaded, the films find an audience in the off season.

I do agree that once success get's into the really high numbers, it seems difficult to sustain and even replicate. I personally don't see avengers or avatar increasing domestically. If anything, the TDK into TDKR model may be in play. I don't think even Cameron can replicate those avatar numbers, though he's kinda the man when it comes to sequels.

It helps that Hunger Games: Catching Fire was incredible, one of the best blockbusters in recent years.

I really like the director. When reading the book(which was better imo given all it's extra insights and the old Haymitch in the games back story), I knew it would be a great experience but gosh darn if that ending isn't lame.

I think the revelations of the next book(even spit in two) will be too much for audiences to not what to be a part of, but the fact that the story now side step the actual games...that's a huge element imo and it's going to bite them bud at some point. Also, from matrix to pirates to those middle potter films..cliff hangers sometimes have an adverse affect. Pretty curious how these last thg films will do.

Star Wars Episode VII and Avatar 2 are cinematic only events that aren't adapting any previous work, so they're the most interesting ones to me.

 

[:eek:]

Avatar 2 is probably the only thing I'm slightly curious about. James Cameron has the most impressive CV of the directors involved in these movies. And since Avatar is his creation he can do whatever he wants with the world and the characters. And as usual one can expect him to be pushing technology so the movies from a visual point of view will be something you have to see on the big screen. Sure, storywise the Avatar-sequels, like the original, probably won't win any awards for their screenplay. But I think it's a safe bet that neither will any of the other movies.

 

[:eek:]

Even with the expected boost in China compared to the first movie it doesn't look like Avengers 2 will make more than the first Avengers worldwide, unless it makes surprisingly huge business in Japan. Doesn't feel impossible that at least Star Wars 7 and Avatar 2 can beat it. But you never know. Who could have thought that Furious 7 might be bigger than Avengers 2?

I think Star Wars Episode 7 will top BO and my personal enjoyment; hopefully of course.

I think you are underselling BvS. That film has an entire month to itself, and if it gets postive WOM, I can see it conceivably outdoing AOU.

Avatar 2 think is a wild card. I see the domestic numbers dropping considerably from it's predecessor, but the OS numbers are sure to do quite a bit on that in today's era.

 

[ThePhantasm]

I'm not expecting the beginning of the DCCU to match the MCU at the prime of its momentum. Especially since the reaction to MOS (a movie I love, btw) seems to have been mixed. BvS does have Batman in it, which is a huge audience draw, but I'm not sure that in and of itself can top the entire lineup of Marvel heroes in Avengers.

Avatar is a wildcard, but so was the first film. James Cameron is a huge draw. I have no doubt he's going to take some of the technology to the next level as well. The biggest factor the sequel has going against it is the length of time between the films. But at this point, barring any other negative signs, I expect it to do very well. Not better than SW though, which is a sure thing at this point, and I expect it to be colossal.

 

[:eek:]

With around $1,4 billion as the final numbers for Avengers: Age of Ultron I think the next Star Wars and Avatar 2 will beat it.
