so it's a flop as far as a comic movie goes? I'm just curious. I don't know - also is Magic Mike a hit? or a frontloaded piece o crap? -- nm

Like I said, Avengers raised the bar to an unreachable height. -- nm - Spawn Jul 6, 08:30 14
- This is going to earn less in 6 days than Spider-Man 3 did in 3 days in 2007. That's got nothing to do with Avengers. -- nm - David Jul 6, 08:32 13
  - Not only financially, but impact/desire. Ultra new/dream movie followed by a (too soon) reboot. -- nm - Spawn Jul 6, 08:37 9
    - If the movie wasn't a re-boot - but a new Spider-Man movie with a new cast,, creative team, etc in the same universe, do you think it would have done - Roger More Jul 6, 08:50 6
      - I think an autumn (or at least August) opening would have made a big difference. -- nm - zork Jul 6, 09:01 3
        
        I don't think time of year has anything at all to do with it, frankly. -- nm - Reagen Jul 6, 09:09 2
        
        I definitely agree that it's way too soon for a reboot but this release is too "piled up" on Avengers -- nm - zork Jul 6, 09:11 1
        
        I don't agree at all. It's been two months, and we've had huge opening weekends pile up on each other before. -- nm - Reagen Jul 6, 09:15
      - I would have even less desire to see it, if that helps. I already don't plan on seeing it, but that would be a death knell. - Beryllium Jul 6, 08:59
      - Good question. I am doubtful either way. I have not seen it, but if they did enough right this has a better chance of making the next one - Spawn Jul 6, 08:58
    - That's exactly right and from that perspective, it's a miracle the movie is doing this well. - David Jul 6, 08:39 1
      - Emma Stone effect! -- nm - Qale Jul 6, 08:44
  - i think the monday opening was a mistake. -- nm - Andie Jul 6, 08:34 2
    - Peter Parker one liners fall very flat after hearing Avengers banter. -- nm - Spawn Jul 6, 08:41
    - It may prove to be but they wanted to follow the same model as Transformers in 2007, which also debuted with Monday sneaks. - David Jul 6, 08:36
tracking had it at 125. I called it around 140. -- nm - Remlik Jul 6, 08:17
Magic Mike cost $7 million to make. Spider-Man cost.... more. -- nm - Reagen Jul 6, 08:12 7
- (with the caveat that I wouldn't go so far as to say "flop" for SM - they'll likely make enough to justify a sequel) -- nm - Reagen Jul 6, 08:15 6
  - And it will be massive overseas. -- nm - David Jul 6, 08:28 5
    - When people say "Overseas" now where do they mean? - Mel Profit Jul 6, 08:31 4
      - Pretty much any country that isn't in North America. - David Jul 6, 08:33 3
        
        I suppose I can get used to seeing something not first and... - Mel Profit Jul 6, 09:10
        
        and isn't Mexico! -- nm - Roger More Jul 6, 08:46 1
        
        You are correct to lump me in with Jan Brewer. -- nm - David Jul 6, 09:13
Magic Mike is a hit. Sure, it's a one-then-done, but isn't that like most boys with their toys? -- nm - Qale Jul 6, 08:12 1
- hee hee -yeah, it is. -- nm - Epiphany Jul 6, 08:16
