I wonder how many tickets Avengers is gonna end up selling Domestic.

We might see the first over 70 million tickets seller since Avatar.

I wonder if it'll sell more than TDK.

I was just looking at the tickets sold chart recently and wow nothing in the last 30 years comes close to how impressive Titanics run was...nothing.

E.T? That will turn 30 years old on June 11th.

I would put them almost on an equal scale...what tips Titanic over (no pun intended) is the fact that it had to combat the massive home video scene & ultimately it's genre. I think Star Wars helped E.T. a lot actually by making sci fi so huge.

Neither of them can come close to how gigantic Star Wars ('77) was and it's legacy which is still as strong as ever today.

E.T. seems to me like it has been forgotten about, the 2001 re-release did terribly.

Titanic's re-release in America did meh.

But Star Wars continues to be strong. YEs The Phantom Menace didn't do so hot as a re-release but it's word of mouth is no secret from the world...it doing that much was very impressive as it is. 

Gone with the Wind is still on top.

Great movie.

Gone with the Winds only main competion as far as entertainment where books, radio and records.  Since then we go tv, video games, vhs, dvd, cassets, computers, the internet,mp3 players and a whole lot of other forms of entertainment.

$29 m for the Avengers on Friday. It could actually make $100 over the weekend.
$10 m for Dark Shadows. Decent for a movie that got bad ratings.



Boutros on 12 May 2012

Wow the budget for Dark Shadows was $150 million :/

It should end up with like $300-$350 million worldwide.

Sooo...when we are you going to eat your own dick?



My prediction threads:

Wii U will sell under 40m units (made on 14th September 2012)

PS Vita will sell under 20m units (made on 30th September 2012)

Wii U will sell under 7m in 2013 - I was right

Halo 4 first 9 weeks sales prediction

Ouch @ Dark Shadows, I thought that would do better. I guess people are getting tired of Johnny Depp and Tim Burton.

Billion $ will certainly happen. Happy to see another Super Hero surpassing this mark.



Mordred11 on 12 May 2012

I wonder if they are going to underestimate The Avengers this weekend again,lol.



Boutros on 12 May 2012

I actually hope they underestimated Friday (of about $900,000) so that it clears $300 million in 8 days! The previous record is TDK with 10 days.

$350 million will happen in 10 days (TDK did it in 14 days).
