$104 million Opening Weekend
Deadline just released this projection judging by today's matinee sales.
I have to say this is disappointing was expecting at least $115 million which was the lower end of expectations.
Ya I'm thinking it will get between 110-115 Million when tonights numbers come in...
While i do agree, A 105 million dollar OW would be on the low end, With Thor 3 Its not going to be so much about its OW, This film has excellent reviews, excellent WOM and being universally called The Funniest MCU movie...Basically I see Thor 3 having Very Good Holds...
So if Thor 3 does come in on the low end, its still great, But I dont think anyone will be disappointed considering, This film should have Excellent Holds in the weeks to come
Its worth noting the major box office sites predicted between 100 and 109 Million for Thor 3....so its actually coming in right on target...Other sites suggested 115 Million + based off the fact that it was out pacing Spider-Man HC in presales....
But Those sites aren't as smart as the box office sites...Box office sites understand even though Thor 3 outpacing Spiderman HC, it doesn't mean Thor 3 would open higher, Spider-Man is A Much more "family" character than Thor...
@bill Brown
Those are good points but the holds may not amount to much as Justice League is opening in less than two weeks.
I guess I got caught up in the tracking results indicating this would open around $120-25 million and this $104 million seems disappointing.
Its pretty sad considering this is third Thor movie.
sharewhats pretty SAD?
shareIts pretty sad considering the third Thor movie wont make a billion.
shareOh ok, your trolling...thought you were just slow for a second....
keep up the good work
PS, I did notice something quite astonishing not to long ago, you may considered it SAD, Literally everyone else Will consider it incredible, but hey to each his own....
Damn near every one of Marvel Studios Trilogies have Grossed more than The Previsions film....
Cap 1-369
Cap2-713
Cap 3-1.150 B+
Thor-449 M
Thor 2-649 M
Thor 3-800 to 850 Mi
IM-585
IM2-623
IM3-1.2 Billion +
GOTG-770
GOTG2-870 M
Its seems the trend will Also Continues With Ant-Man, Of course there is one exception AOU made slightly less than The Avengers
but the point is, Wow, somehow Marvel Studios has not only kept the excitement and Hype of each film in 4 different Trilogies, but astonishingly, The Hype,excitement and Turn out has Increased for each film...
Historically, if you look up box office for Trilogies in Hollywood, Its extremely hard to Continues to Gross More and More With each film.
Again you may find this SAD, but You are alone in this opinion...
for Example.
If the DCEU actually does somehow survive after JL...I highly doubt 5 to 7 years from now...will be looking at Box office results where WB made 3 Cyborg,3 Flash, 3 Wonder Woman,3 Aquaman films that all were more success than the other...
lol In fact I highly doubt we even get 1 Cyborg or Flash film....quite SAD
speaking of SAD, its now guaranteed JL Wont make 750 Million total....stop in think about this.
JL now wont even Make Half Of what The Avengers made....
The Avengers opened to 207, JL opened to 93 Million(Literally not even half)
The Avengers made 620 Million domestically, JL will be lucky if it gets to 240 M(Literally not even Half)
The Avengers made 1.5 B+, JL wont make 750 M(Literally not even Half)
The Avengers scored 93% on RT, JL scored 40%(Literally not even have)
The Avengers is getting at least 4 films, JL is dead after 1(Literally not even Half)
quite SAD
Just because a movie makes a billion dollars doesn't mean its good. Even the Transformer movies made billions.

Jesus I haven't seen a 180 turn like this since my time on IMDB....
So first you started saying Its SAD Thor 3 didn't make 1 Billion(which clear indicates you think 1 Billion Is Good and Important)
then after I point out The Avengers Made 1.5 Billion(twice as much as JL)....Hilariously you do a complete 180, and change your stance to "1 Billion isn't important and doesn't matter"
I must say, this simply can't be you just MESSING up...you had have to be doing this on purpose now, You got to be reverse trolling and Intentionally saying absurd things and changing your stance on the drop of a time on Purpose....
I mean seriously who literally suggest a film should have made 1 Billion to be a success, and then in the next post suddenly says 1 Billion doesn't matter and is not important....
lol You Literally have 2 different stances, and in BOTH cases you found A way for them to NOT BE IMPRESSIVE toward MCU films....
lol Your not impressed by Thor 3 because it didn't make 1 Billion....
Yet your not impressed with The Avengers because making 1 Billion Isn't important....
for your sake I hope you were reverse trolling and did this intentionally....because if you honestly simply didnt realize you changed your opinions this severally , then you may be the worst troll ever
PS your right 1 Billion doesn't Mean A movie is Great....
But when you have a film that Grosses 1 Billion+, Gets Excellent reviews, Gets Excellent Audience scores, Has Excellent ratings on All Sites and are Widely considered 2 of the top 5 CBMs of all time....lol that Unequivocally Means the Films are in fact GOOD ....that is the case With Both The Avengers and Civil War...
If you want to argue Transformers arent good films even though they made 1 Billion, Fine the facts back you up...
continuhes in next post
But theres literally not 1 thing you can point that doesn't SCREAM The Avengers and Civil War are good to Great Films films....
The Avengers and Civil War MADE 1 BILLION + because they were GOOD TO GREAT films, These films exceeded expectations, Because They had overwhelmingly positive Word of Mouth from great reviews that lead to HUGE HYPE and Great opening weekends, They then both had Great holds from Great Audience Scores and Overwhelmingly positive WOM...They are the complete opposite of The Transformers, THose films made 1 Billion despite being Bad Films, CW and The Avengers made 1 Billion Because they were Great films.
Do know know that between 2011 and 2012, NOt 1 box office site or Analysts predicted The Avengers to out Gross The Dark Knight Rises...In every single Summer or yearly Preview, The Dark Knight Rises was predicted to be the highest grossing movie of the year, All Predicted TDKR to make 1 Billion + and predicted The Avengers to make between 700 to 800 Million.
The overwhelming thought at the time was, NO one saw The Avengers performing Much better than IM movies, Thor and Cap 1 had just came out, did okay, but it was clear IM was the draw and no one saw how An Avengers movies could suddenly out perform an IM movies by 400 Million....
lol The Point here is, The Avengers very easily could have Been JL, The Avengers was not a for sure thing, It was not expected or predicted to make 1 Billion Let alone 1.5 Billion...The SOLE reason why The film Exploded was Because It was A Great film that had INSANELY Great Word Of Mouth, Marvel Studios did early fan screening 1 month before the film opened, The reactions from These Screening were "OH MY GOD" type reactions, Then Marvel Screen the film for critics 3 weeks early, and Critics Went crazy for it....The film Literally Built Hype to A FEVERED Pitch based off INSANE Word of mouth and reviews.

If you dont like The Avengers or Civil War, thats fine you are entitled in your opinion, But The facts are you in a very small Minority....
You can not claim The Avengers and Civil War arent good movies, The fact simply in no way back you up....
You can say "In MY Opinion The Avengers and Civil War arent good movies"....
But The facts are irrefutable that BOTH The Avengers and Civil War are considered good to Great movies by The overwhelming majority, Literally over 90% of the people who watch these movies come away with the opinion they just watched a good to great movie....
So again I say, You are right, Movies do make 1 Billion and that doesn't mean they are GOOD....But That does not apply to The Avengers and Civil War, These films made 1 Billion + because they were Great and Literally all facts and data Unequivocally proves they are in fact good to great films...
You dont have to agree with these facts or data, You can completely believe Audiences got it wrong, You can believe "You are right and the films are bad and everyone else is wrong"....But you can't change The facts, The facts are you are in A very small minority and The Majority consensus is, The Avengers and Civil War are universally considered Good to Great films....
But seriously Nice try, The Old "Transformers excuses" was a big one back on IMDB....lol but desperate times call for desperate messages, what else can you do when you have 4 MCU films that made 1 Billion + and 0 DCEU films making 1 Billion....lol got pull something out of the hat, certainly can't except the truth, got to come up with a way to "Not Be Impressed"....Unfortunately you just didnt think it through, didnt realize The Transformers films and The MCU films Literally have nothing in common, While The Transformers movies made 1 Billion despite all facts and data point to them being bad movies, THe MCU film made 1 Billion With All Facts and data proving They are Good films....
