Avengers: Age of Ultron set to open with record breaking $210M-$230M bow

[Spock 20,290]

Get ready to rumble. After launching in 44 markets with $200.2M, Walt Disney’s Marvel Avengers: Age of Ultron is setting foot in the states. Conservative estimates see the film doing safely $200M at the domestic B.O. at a total of 4,247 engagements, but industry estimates see the Marvel superhero team film easily kicking the first Avengers, which owns the highest domestic opening of all-time at $207.4M, aside with a bow of $210M-$230M. Note that $230M is a very aggressive estimate. Says one rival distrib chief, “If the film opens and makes $190 million, and comes in as the second highest grossing weekend of all-time, how can that be anything but great?!”
Age of Ultron‘s theater count of 4,247 is comprised and juiced by 2,761 3D venues, 364 Imax, 400 premium large format, and 143 D-Box theaters. Industry confidence for a record bow stems from exhib chiefs’ buzz that Age of Ultron is already outselling Furious 7‘s  first weekend ($147.2M) in advance sales by as much as 3x.

Already, MovieTickets.com is reporting that North American advance ticket sales for Age of Ultron are currently 3.7x greater than the 2012 release of The Avengers and 4.6x greater than the 2013 release of Iron Man 3 at the same point in the sales cycle of each respective film. Age of Ultron is also trending #1 for MovieTickets.com with 84% of all tickets sold in the last 24 hours being from moviegoers wanting to see the Avengers assemble again.  Internationally, MovieTickets.com’s reports its number one and two markets over the past weekend for the release of Avengers: Age of Ultron were Buenos Aires followed by London.

Over at Fandango, Age of Ultron presales are just off the scales with the ticket agency reporting that presales for the sequel equal the presales for all Marvel Studios Films combined.

​True...I could say the same about album sales

It'll do well, but the REAL number I don't know how they're gonna calculate is Star Wars...I feel that could be the #1 grossing movie of all time beating Avatar and Titanic tbqh...

 

[monsterdreams 1,529]

Overrated probably but ho hum

Star Wars will destroy 

[Robotboy 1,700]

i dont think its fair if marvel/whatever its called will be the most successful movie franchise because they include so many different movies.

point is, harry potter will remain the most successful

 

its funny because i havent seen any of these, except the first thor

​Well, the same way I guess

Star Wars is going to be so huge. I don't know if it's going to beat Avatar since it had the 3D novelty hype, but it's definitely going top 3 for sure and snatch Avengers' weave.

Either way, Disney is going to rake in major cash this year with two Marvel properties, two Pixar movies and Star Wars. It's ridiculous

It's a franchise composed of different franchises  ​¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Marvel is like $450M away from Harry Potter. Avengers already made $200M+ internationally and it still has to open in the US, plus there is Ant-Man in July, so they're 100% going to surpass Harry Potter as the most successful film franchise this year
