First Avenger The Official Captain America Box Office Thread! - Part 2

[kedrell]

Did about $1.5M from last Saturday(when it was released) to Sunday. 2 days, I have no idea if that's a good start or not but it's 3X more than GL made in Japan already($.5M).

 

[kedrell]

Domestic final: $176,423,395 as of Sunday and it's probably pulled from all theaters in NA now since the DVD comes out today. Japan's total hasn't been updated since Sunday 10/16/11 and it's WW gross is still at $365,923,395

but that's almost certainly low due to Japan's lack of reporting for the last 9 days. I bet you anything it's actually at at least $367M WW by now if not more.

CA:TFA has been a moderate success.

I hope it's enough to warrant a sequel in the eyes of MARVEL STUDIOS. I wasn't a big fan of CAP before (although i was heavily anticipating the movie because he's a MARVEL icon) but the movie has made me a real fan. I would love to see some sequels.

 

[marcvader]

As would I.

 

[kedrell]

Isn't a sequel already confirmed? I thought it was.

 

[Vartha]

Pretty sure a sequal will happen lol Heck Cap even beat GL! lol

LOL. If being more financially succesful than gl is all you need to guarantee a sequel then expect sequels from virtually every movie in existance. LOL.

In one of the recent interviews with Kevin Feige he said "if we do a CA:TFA sequel". Also it has not been given a release date like THOR 2. Those 2 things are what has me a bit worried. The screenwriters seem to operating as if it's a sure thing though.

Thor 2 can slink back to fantasy setting, but Cap 2 needs to be set in the real world, current time. There lies the difficulty in making someone running around with colorful uniform & shield believable.

 

[Avenger]

If they can make a guy using a glowing magnet to keep shrapnel out of his heart and fighting crime in a flying suit of armor believable, then I'm sure they won't have any trouble making Cap in the modern era believable.

So that would put it at about $367.5M WW right now. Not far from the Batman Begins/X-Men Origins: Wolverine range(low $370's).

 

[Shadowlord X]

CAP's done fine; with the modern audience franchises like this need to build their audience over time with sequels.
