B3 - Remlik, I'm obviously generalizing but Guardians of the Galaxy is weighted to the opening weekend.

Posted by Roger More (aka Rogermore) Aug 4 '14, 09:14

It's a movie marketed to sell as many tickets as possible on OW, with teenagers and people who are enthusiastic about Marvel movies as the core audience, and interest from other groups - people who like action sci-fi, people who just want to be entertained, etc - joining in.

I don't believe it will perform poorly post-OW - poorly being like this year's Spider-Man and Godzilla movies - but it won't make it's adjust price by delist either because its an "opening weekend" movie, same as Avengers and Winter Soldier

plus studios avoid putting other movies out on the same weekend thus reducing patrons' choices -- nm - zork Aug 4, 09:26 4
- It still had a lower screen count than Winter Soldier. -- nm - Star-Lord Aug 4, 09:29 3
  - Not true. Guardians - 4080, Captain America 2 - 3938 - Inigo Aug 4, 09:40 1
    - Ah, flipped WS with Avengers 4349. Thanks. -- nm - Star-Lord Aug 4, 09:43
  - in general -- nm - zork Aug 4, 09:37
You are missing a slice of it. - Star-Lord Aug 4, 09:18 12
- Such a GFB. -- nm - David Aug 4, 09:29 11
  - I am gonna ride it long until the end. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 4, 09:39 5
    - It's your cliff to drive off. -- nm - David Aug 4, 09:41 3
      - the commission to sell it and reverse it, makes me think to just ride it out. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 4, 09:47 2
        
        The complete flip would have cost $520k. It would need to delist $5.20 less than it's adjust price to be a net winner - Will Hunting Aug 4, 09:57
        
        I have no idea how HSX works now but it will fall far short of its adjust number yesterday. -- nm - David Aug 4, 09:52

  - Right is right. - Star-Lord Aug 4, 09:31 4
    - It's the Joe Flacco of movies. -- nm - David Aug 4, 09:33 3
      - Nah, the Russel Wilson of movies. -- nm - Star-Lord Aug 4, 09:34 2
        
        Better than an overhyped monstrosity like Andrew Luck? Nah, doesn't fit. - David Aug 4, 09:39 1
        
        I guess it does in Tennessee. In the rest of the country, it is Wilson. -- nm - Star-Lord Aug 4, 09:44
