read a real interesting article this morn where its considered a flop compared to the first one - decline Nov 25, 16:50 2
- Only if we exclude international grosses. It will dwarf its predecessor globally. -- nm - David Nov 25, 16:55
- That goes without saying. - Spawn Nov 25, 16:53
figure noone will miss the xtra mil post adjust -- nm - budice Nov 25, 16:10
CNN wasn't shy about calling it the 4th biggest opener ever. -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Nov 25, 16:07 1
- It was with estimates, just not with actuals. -- nm - David Nov 25, 16:09
Damn, missed it by 200k on the guess yesterday -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 25, 16:06
I expected it to be overestimated by a decent amount. Still surprising it didn't build on Hunger Games. - Tim Nov 25, 16:01 20
- It's infinitely more palpable than the original in a big way though. (Catching Fire spoiler) - Qale Nov 25, 17:57 1
  - Um, that should have been 'palatable' -- nm - Qale Nov 25, 17:57
- In a fun semi-tangent, Avengers 2 scripts are in actor's hands now. -- nm - Spawn Nov 25, 16:06 17
  - How many Avengers sequels is Downy locked in for? -- nm - Bacon Nov 25, 16:07 14
    - he signed for 2 movies. Avengers 2 and 3. -- nm - Remlik Nov 25, 16:22 7
      - That is pretty awesome. Iron Man is a good franchise, but there need to be a couple more Avengers movies. -- nm - Bacon Nov 25, 16:24 6
        
        Is Gwenith in for the movies as well or is that unknown? -- nm - Bacon Nov 25, 16:24 5
        
        not sure. I suspect she is, Downey likes working with her. Marvel wanted to dump her in Iron Man 2 and Downey told them he'd walk if they did that.... - Remlik Nov 25, 16:31
        
        She is not very necessary. -- nm - Spawn Nov 25, 16:30 3
        
        I like the relationship they share on screen. I get she is not needed for the action but there is a lot of comic relief between the two - Bacon Nov 25, 16:32 1
        
        But Tony is so much more fun when he is single and drunk. -- nm - Spawn Nov 25, 16:38
        
        Her Daisy Dukes are the unheralded key to the popularity of The Avengers. -- nm - David Nov 25, 16:31
    - Just an aside, but this is an incredibly sweet gig for both Downey and Marvel/Paramount. - Mop (200 lbs) Nov 25, 16:13 4
      - To a point, sure. And he is done with the solo movies where he was on camera so much more. -- nm - Spawn Nov 25, 16:15 3
        
        yep. Marvel Studios don't want to fork out the money anymore for what it would take for Iron Man 4 with him. that being said.... - Remlik Nov 25, 16:24 2
        
        they'll make a deal. This isnt Warner Bros. we're talking about here, they arent about to recast his part with Ben Affleck -- nm - Jovian Nov 25, 16:28 1
        
        Ah...that's where you're right and wrong, Marvel has no qualms about recasting, they dumped Norton 8 weeks before shooting and dumped Terrance Howard. - Remlik Nov 25, 16:36
    - 2 & 3. -- nm - Spawn Nov 25, 16:13
  - My immediate thought was "well, now we know what Avengers 2 will open to." -- nm - Tim Nov 25, 16:07 1
    - Avengers was more popular (RT, etc) so if the previews are well done it will top it. -- nm - Spawn Nov 25, 16:10
Wow. That is even less than I expected. -- nm - Spawn Nov 25, 16:01
