Did you fail Math in school? Those are some huge ass unrealistic numbers you're throwing down.

I can tell you're one of those guys who knows nothing about box office but likes to talk trash anyway.

TDK only made 470 m overseas. 300 m more than that is 770 m which is Transformers 3 territory. If Spider-man always performs better than Transformers overseas what do you think will happen when a Spider-man movie is released on 3D?

Spidey, however, has had consistent 700-800 WW numbers. Some good marketing here and some 3D viewings there, I'd say Spidey's much more likely to hit Billion than TDKR.

I strongly believe that at some point a film in this series will hit 1 billion + worldwide. I just doubt it's ASM for the reasons I listed. I think 800-850 million would be the absolute top point. I would love to be wrong though. This could easily change closer to the release, but as of this moment, just from the general temperature or vibe I'm getting for this film via friends, internet articles, websites, message boards, etc. I think Iron Man numbers are what we should expect from this first film. Again, I would love to be wrong and hope it hits a grand slam right out of the box.

Avengers, though....I think Avengers will make 500-650 WW. Not 'OMGBESTFILMEVERBBQSTOMP', but somewhere around Thor or Iron Man's numbers would be safe to assume. Maybe a bit higher, since Disney's doing the marketing for it.

I expect Avengers to be in the 750-850 million range myself, which would be an amazing start to that franchise. Again, assuming the film is good and can build off the momentum and carry it into a sequel, then like Spidey, I believe a future Avenger film can hit a billion worldwide.

Eh, it'd take a lot of momentum to get Avengers to 800 million. Although Disney is damn good at their marketing, and the rumored Lego Avengers game is guaranteed to rake in money.

Oh Jesus there's going to be a Lego Avengers game?


This movie is going to be t3h ch33z

.TDK only made 470 m overseas

And Spider-Man 3, despite the disappointment that it was with critcs and audiences, made $555 million overseas. Imagine if it lived up to the hype? SM2 made $410 million overseas with '04 ticket prices and SM1 made $418 million overseas from '02 ticket prices. This is why I believe that a great Spider-Man film would make more money then a great Batman film. TDK was hailed as some great masterpiece by fans and critics, yet the dissappointing SM3 made more money overseas. The first two probably would have as well if adjusted for inflation.

If this Webb series can gain positive momentum, then a billion wordwide is highly probable for future films after ASM.

I hate Lego ____ games. Seems lazy and uninspired because they couldn't be bothered making a proper game.

Just rumors mostly based off of the toy deal Lego did with Marvel and DC. Nothing substantial apart from speculation. Although a Lego Spider-Man or Lego Batman 2 is equally as possible. Avengers is just the main contender since it has films to adapt for the levels, and Spidey's getting a reboot so it'd be less effective.

Toy Story had a Lego deal, and it didn't get a game, either. Lego Harry Potter's set to finish, too, so it's just a bunch of maybes at this point.

Lego games sell like hell, though. Disney did it with Pirates before, so I wouldn't be surprised if they decided to push Lego for an Avengers game, since Marvel's their new aquisition.

 

[SoNicRaDiATioN]

Eh, it'd take a lot of momentum to get Avengers to 800 million.

Well IM2 made over 620 million wordwide I believe, so you don't think that Cap, Hulk, Hawkeye, Black Widow, Nick Fury and THOR on screen with Iron Man could squeeze another $100-180 worldwide? I think that is well within range with a good film.

 

[Spiderman6592]

I don't see what kind of weight having all those super heroes in one movie holds. It's attracting the same audience. People who don't normally go to CBMs aren't suddenly going to go because this one has 7 or 8 of them in one.

Eh. I agree it could do it, but it's mostly the same demographic. It's not so much the box office of the Avengers that's the real potential charm of it, it's really showing how all these dudes can exist in the same universe and have it work. It's more a showing of the potential of the genre as a whole.

It's attracting the same core audience yes, but I think it casts a larger net over the general audience it's likely to attract. There are inevitably people who like Cap but not Iron Man, people who like Hulk but not Thor, etc, etc. I'm not saying it's going to make a huge difference, but Marvel has been establishing each character individually and putting them into the consciousness of a general audience beyond the core fans. It will have an impact. I'm not saying it's going make a huge impact, but I think it will to the point where an $800 million worldwide boxoffice is WELL within reach and pretty realistic with a good/great film. 3D and it's release date also helps.

Oh, you're serious. And no one really knows anything about the box office, it's just a bunch of guessing. Anyway, what makes you think it's going reach 1 Billion, besides it being in 3D? Taking into account it makes your 770M/230 domestically. That's a lot faith in this reboot.

I'm thinking even if it's great, that will be hard to pull off.

 

[Spiderman6592]

I think it could do it in this film but I'm hesitant to commit to 1 billion worldwide. I do think TASM 2 will top 1 billion worldwide if this one ends up being good though.

 

[chaseter]

I meant worldwide, not domestic.

I made that pretty clear, I think.

Well in that case, it will be much closer. Will Spider-Man break 1 billion? Maybe, it has a shot. Do I think it will? No...but it does have a shot and I wouldn't be surprised if it did pass 1 billion. I personally think it will net a bit under $300 million domestic and about $500 worldwide. This is all barring quality. If the movie is just absolutely amazing and gets amazing fan and critical reaction, it will do better. If the movie just absolutely sucks and is the worst thing ever, it will do worse.

 

[Ken-Kaniff]

Over 700 mil. SERIOUSLY?? What is wrong with you man!?!

I say about 210-300, if things go well 400 maybe...but no more imo.

 

[Troy_Parker]

I seriously doubt $210-300.

It'll make 400+ easy.

I voted 700+ because I thought it was the gross. lol

People on here think this has an easy shot at making $400 million domestic. Some of those numbers up there shouldn't be surprising

Also, I am sure some people thought it was worldwide...because they didn't read!

 

[Troy_Parker]

Well, the first Spider-Man movie made 400+ domestic, didn't it? Not sure why some people were comparing this to TDK's box office. lol

 

[TheDragonator]

Has the best shot out of all of next summer's films. TDK had Ledger to kick it up there (let's face it, his death got more attention than any viral marketing ever did. If Begins had made a high gross as well, it'd be seen as a pattern, but it made 700 million less than the sequel. Very, very goddamn rare), and Avengers will likely top at around 650-700 mil WW Depending on it's popularity. Spider-Man had about 800+ for every film so far in it's franchise, and with a 3D boost resulting in about...eh, 100 million in 3D sales, plus the ticket inflation, I'd think it's safe to say it'd make at least 900 million, with a genuine shot at the billion. TDK is the lowest on the billion chart, with only one million over. If Spidey makes the billion list, I'd be straight up shocked if it didn't pass that.

 

[SoNicRaDiATioN]

The fact that ASM and TDKR are released so close to one another can't help their B.O. either.

True. Spidey's got Fourth of July weekend, though.

 

[socool]

I can't see this movie making more than 250 mill. in the US. Maybe 600 mill worldwide.

 

[MessiahDecoy123]

Actually it opens a couple days after July 4th weekend.
