What "Avengers situation"? IT's still gonna end up around 500 million domestically with another billion or more in international grosses. Trust me, there's no Avengers situation.

As an avid box-office tracker I am saddened by the fact that a movie like F7 is making roughly as much as Age of Ultron. It's more of a personal matter. Nonetheless you need to understand that its Monday drop is very big and doesn't spell good news for the movie.

While I do agree that FF7 is getting a LOT more money than it deserves, that doesn't change the fact that, when it's all said and done, Avengers will be in slots 3 and 5 on the all time charts. It's not doing poorly by any means, it's just not doing AS good as the first one.
And really...the first one was a cultural phenomenon, full of iconic shots, tonnes of hype, and was the first of its kind. It hit 1.5 billion dollars in a time before china could give a movie more of its gross than its US take. This one is still gonna get 1.6-1.7 billion, and there's no way you can spin that as bad.
I urge you not to treat this as "IT's not enough that I succeed, but others must fail", in regards to cheerleading Avengers. I love it too, and I think the avengers represents a certain shift in modern cinema towards precisely what I want, but that just further shows the juggernaut that is FF7.
