Early Estimate Out for THE AVENGERS Says It Will Top HUNGER GAMES At The Domestic Box Office

A trolling article I see.........this sucks.

SUPERSAIYANFAN

We all know youre a trolling Nolanite/DC acolyte also, but Coming from a "guy" that says "cheezuz crust".............

Soooo Many of you Marvel Maniacs think Youll make more money than TDKR at the Box Office with The Avengers Eh?

Sounds like someone is trying to start a flame war with an article teaser that clear makes it evident.

SUPERSAIYANFAN

Pretty much anything that comes out of your mouth is garbage. Your anti-marvel tirade is amateur at best and it shows in almost every Avengers article. Next time you wanna speak, make some coherent sense and try not make yourself look like a hypocrite buddy.

supersayianfan1:Sage is right. This article was made with bad intentions. Just look at the title, the teaser, and Nolanite's comments about The Avengers.

For example I'll copy and paste em:

"Oh and I have Scar Jo as the Teaser Image only because thats about the Only Hot and good thing about Marvels clown show."

"I could care less how much money this movie makes as well. Heck, Im not even gonna go watch it. "

SUPERSAIYANFAN

You just contradicted your logic HORRIBLY.

You say I'm spewing bullshit by saying "A trolling article I see.....this sucks."
And then you turn around and say "oh, I know this is a BS article".....LMAO.
I think you just enjoy seeing yourself type nonsense on these threads.

I think I just proved my point by not even saying any further word.

SUPERSAIYANFAN

You got me ROFL. You're hilarious. That made my night......
Well...
It was my point to begin with. Which I proved flawlessly.
You just wanted to whine fetus style and then you got caught in your own hypocrisy and now you have nothin with any significance to say.

Carry on my boy. Carry on

Nolanite, please answer this question I have been wondering

What is it that you have against the avengers or marvel? I mean really? That is all I want to know,no argument or nothing i just really want to know what it is from a logical view point.

Whatever.

What the hell? if I choose not see a movie because I don't think it's worth paying money to see what's the problem with that?
It has nothing to do with the Avengers vs TDKR because I didn't pay to see Ghost Rider SOV either, I snuck in the movie. I refused to support SOV because I felt that it was a bad movie, I didn't want to see it lead to a sequel and I didn't think it deserved my money and I feel that way about TDKR right now.

@Lilvic92

Good call. I'm sure TDKR will be a total flop. Better not waste your money...





...With just a dash of sarcasm

On the other hand we see how many movies with amazing trailers that turn out to be complete shit?... That's right, most of them. Trailers are designed to make a film look good even if it isn't. That's a tool studios use to make sure they have a big openning because after we see the actual film and find out it's crap, the best trailer in the world won't save it. The best tool we have for judging a movie before we see it is by looking at the team that is creating it and looking at their track record. I'd say Nolan and his team haven't done to shabby in the past.

Despite all that, I couldn't disagree with you more on the TDKR trailer. I thought it was extremely well put together. A good blend of heart, mystery and action. And the child singing the national anthem in the beginning was nothing short of epic. It doesn't always take spaceships and explosions to make a great trailer.

a guy who claims to hate the Avengers yet makes an editorial about the movie -______- really man, really?

ummmmm so we get a share of the box-office?

Stupid article nobody cares but for those that do..

TDKR will make a damn lot of money after TDK's success, but this will be the last entry.

The Avengers is the first of a possible trilogy I believe and as the first movie out, it's most likely going to make a killing.

By the time we get to the end, it's gonna have records all over the place.

For me, I don't care about that, I'll pay my ticket for any good movie..

For the most part, this thread is pretty dumb and some of you guys should be banned from this site. It gets annoying after a while.

I was happy with the knowledge that Avengers is projected to make $370M, which would make it a great success in my book. I don't care if TDKR makes more or less than Avengers. I want Avengers to be one of the top 5 movies this year, so they keep making comic book movies. Anything more would be icing on the cake.

I will also see ASM and TDKR. Looking forward to all of them, but Avengers the most.

@ZiDean I couldn't agree more. I am a Marvel Fanboy at heart, but I was bummed that Green Lantern didn't do better at the box office than it did. I actually enjoyed it despite some weak plot points, and would have liked to see a sequel.

We should all be rooting for any superhero CBM to do well so they greenlight more CBMs.

Stop the hatin'!

Its all about Fun @AvengersDoesntRock.

Gives us many fans on here another reason to get on here often. The war on Marvel and DC will forever keep going and its amusing. The ones that get Butthurt are the ones that should get Banned. So on that note....

TDKR FTW! Joss Whedon should pull out his Notepad and take notes come July 20th.

A couple things:

@ Lilvic92

GL did not make back it's budget. Studios nowadays get approx. 50% of the WW BO gross. GL generated $220 million WW, so WB got about $110 million. GL prod budget was $200 million.

@ nolanite

Can you explain why you refer to this movie as a 'clown show'?

Meh. Unless Christain Bale dies before the release date Batman rises will come nowhere near TDK at the box office.

Well OK, let's take this seriously, even though I probably shouldn't.

Let's assume that BoxOffice.com is actually accurate. I honestly don't know if they are or not, but let's assume they are.

Odds are, they base their estimates on ticket pre-sales for the opening weekend. In the case of Avengers, tickets for the midnight showing went on sale last week. Hunger Games comes out this week.

So assuming that Avengers has already sold enough tickets to more or less guarantee an opening that's several million more than the opening of a movie with a huge fan base that's coming out in a few days? I'd say that Avengers is in pretty good shape.

My guess is that we'll see that estimate go up quite a bit over the next month and a half. Then, if the movie is good, word of mouth will probably keep the movie at the top of the box office leading into Summer.

Honestly, though, TDKR will probably have a better domestic opening. More average people are familiar with the Batman franchise, particularly after TDK, and the success of Inception shows that Nolan fans want more. No doubt that it will be a huge opening. Probably record-breaking.

The big question is whether or not TDKR will be able to maintain its box office presence after the first weekend.

This depends entirely on its reception.

If fans and critics are disappointed by the final entry, it could really hurt the movie's overall box office gross. If people don't leave the theater wanting to see it again (and drag their friends and family members to see it with them), it will probably fall short of going the distance.

But, if the movie is another masterpiece and a worthy entry in the series, yeah, I don't doubt that it will do better than Avengers.

Even so, Avengers is still going to be a very big success, and will probably dwarf the success of Hunger Games.

In the end, TDKR will probably be the most successful movie of the year, or at least it will have the most successful opening weekend.

That said, it's not like Avengers is going to do poorly just because ticket pre-sales (more than a month away, mind you) are only a bit better than the pre-sales for Hunger Games (which comes out in a few days). If anything, that's pretty damn encouraging.

Regardless, if Box Office numbers are all you care about, you should probably wait until TDKR's numbers are in before you start talking down Avengers. I mean, what if TDKR's initial estimates are lower? That would probably make you look like an idiot.

So in about a month or so (or whenever ticket pre-sales are widely available for TDKR), if TDKR is already breaking records, feel free to rub it in everyone's face.

Or don't, since it's kind of a stupid thing to obsess over. But hey, free speech and all that.

Stay classy, Nolanite.

I try to stay out of this because I don't particularly care who wins the box-office battle, but... If I were a betting man, my money would be on TDKR. I really think people are underestimating Nolan. I know there is a big argument on here about him and his movies being overrated, but people on here tend to be bias because they know the comics and get upset over things like costumes and small story details that might not match the source material. The rest of the world doesn't care about that petty B.S..

Heath probably did have something to do with TDK's success, but let's face it. If Heath's performance didn't live up to the hype, or if the movie as a whole sucked, it would not have been as successful as it was. Despite the fact that he died. I think when you put his name on any movie, it lends credibility due to his track record. And when you add his name to a batman movie it gets even bigger. And when it happens to be the final batman movie in a very successful franchise and is a followup to the most successful CBM ever... Well let's just say, I think many people on here are grossly underestimating this movie.
