NICE. I love me some Joss Whedon audio commentary.

00:07:07:06 THE INFINITE SIX

Wow, whole 7 minutes. Interesting.
I hope they show that Avengers: Infinity War (Teaser Trailer) that was shown at the Phase 3 announcement last year, in HD.

Not sure how many of you saw this Avengers line-up TIMELINE. It IS downloadable too as a PDF format
http://marvel.com/avengerstimeline

 

[FrozenBanana00]

There was a timeline that came with the Art of The Avengers. I know it'll be out of date now, but it was pretty cool to follow.

I'd need to see that. I never got a chance to go through ANY of the MCU Art Of books

Disney considers AoU a failure at the box office. It made 1.4 billlion. What do they consider Tomorrowland, Lone Ranger, and John Carter?

 

[DyeLorean]

Greedy bastards.

Age of Ultron's failure is akin to a small biplane crashing into a deserted stretch of land and leaving the pilot and sole occupant slightly injured. All others are akin to a packed Boeing 777 crashing in a populated zone with no survivors.

Don't listen to that article,it's total BS.

 

[Silvermoon]

Bleeding Cool *claims* that Disney considers it a failure (via an unnamed source that they don't even quote, the author simply put "I understand that..." blah blah blah). The articles that guy has been writing lately come across as pulling stuff out of thin air/just trying to create click-bait articles. Personally, I'd take that it worth a grain of salt at this point.

 

[Majik1387]

Disney does not consider AoU a failure or even under-performing. What a stupid "author."

 

[protocida]

They probably do. It cost more than The Avengers, yet grossed less. It underperformed slightly based on the old Hollywood convention that the sequels make more than their predecessors, and early tracking indicating it could go over to make $2 billion.

 

[First Avenger]

But we're talking about a 1.5 billion dollar first movie,it was not your average box-office performance. Even SM2 didn't do as well as SM1 back in 2004. Do you guys think JW2 will earn as much as the first too? I don't think so.

Just going off my own personal experience, Avengers blew my socks off and I saw it three times in theaters. AoU was awesome but to a lesser degree, so I saw it twice. I imagine this happened for a lot of Marvel fans where repeat viewers watched the Avengers more times than AoU, hence the slightly lower box office take.

 

[First Avenger]

Same for me Bert,but right now I like AoU more than A1. The first one, being a simpler movie and the first of its kind,was more of a crowd-pleaser,whereas I felt AoU was more complex and ambitious,so I can see why General Audience wouldn't come back for more.

As that may be, but Avengers set such a high bar in terms of both box office (and quality) that even it's own sequel was going to struggle to surpass it. I seriously doubt any of Avatar's sequels will make more money than the original TBH.

 

[Fosterson]

Okay guys I watched this again. Here's the question. Possibly the most important question in all of history...Jane or Pepper?

Jane. She was a much more fleshed out character in the original Thor than Pepper was in any of the IM movies IMO. At no point in that movie was she rescued by Thor from a perilous position. In fact, the reverse was true, with Thor getting captured by Shield and Jane sending Selvig to break him out. Now, admittedly, TDW kinda screwed her up, but I still think that (to quote Odinson himself) "Jane is better!".

Also, Natalie Portman>Gwyneth Paltrow.

 

[DyeLorean]

I saw Avengers 4 times and Age of Ultron just once. BUT, I did like Ultron a little bit more, I just didn't have money enough this year to see it multiple times.

 

[SolarTiger]

I'm pretty sure most on this forum before May were saying this would be the highest grossing movie of the year asides from maybe Star Wars. I do think Disney was hoping for it to at least match the first movie's box office, but to call it a failure is excessive IMO. Furious 7 before it and Mad Max/Jurrasic World right after it might have taken the wind out of it's sails. I know I saw the first Avengers twice in theaters and didn't go back to watch AoU, but A1 was such a unique experience that will be very hard to match again.

Yeah Avatar's sequels will not do the business that the first one did. Of that I am quite sure. Although to be honest I didn't get the appeal, I saw it once in theaters and never again. With such a big gap since the first and the sequels coming out yearly, I'm sure it'll be popular but probably not record breaking. i think the Avatars will be coming out during the holiday seasons, if the new Star Wars are doing the same thing, they'll probably just take the wind out of each other's sails.

 

[Whiskey Tango]

There's a gulf between "did not meet expectations" and "failure" so wide you could crash a helicarrier into it without scraping the sides.

Avatar was a special event since it really made people interested in 3D in a way no one had ever seen before. They will never be able to create that unique of an experience again, since it's already been done, so they will most likely do a lot less. Still, if the sequels make AoU numbers the studio is basically printing money.

As for competing with Star Wars, they will be moving the Star Wars movies to summertime, starting with Episode VIII which comes out in May 2017.
