The 2nd weekend of Iron Man 3 will mean that The Great Gatsby doesn't open to much. The controversy of Iron Man 3 and also the praise for it will make it #1 (obviously) but also the buzz surrounding it will make new releases go under the radar.

:funny:

Iron Man won't have the WOM that The Avengers had. It won't be nearly as leggy. Plus most will have seen it by next weekend. Gatsby will also be helped by the fact it's Mother's Day weekend.

Legs will be average for IM3

From early twitter buzz, looks like TGG could overperform

Thinking $45-50m for Gatsby at the moment. Its marketing has been surprisingly great recently, and the online buzz is undeniable.

Yeah I have Gatsby at $50M+. It honestly could do Algren's prediction for OW on OD.

What makes me think that Gatsby is breaking out the most is the fact that the book is reaching its highest levels on best-sellers lists since it was released. Was #2 this past week, will probably be #1 next week.

Buzz for Gatsby seems pretty high - I keep hearing people my age buzz about it...not sure where it lands for OW though. Could see as low as $20 million, but as high as $45 million.

That's a ridiculous statement right there.

Most of the people interested will have :P. It will be at what, like 200 Million? Close to it at least. There will be plenty of people looking for a new movie to see.

Sure there will, about $38m's worth of people, split between TGG ($18m) and TPP ($20m).

Superhero films are for the most part frontloaded like Potter films.

Author:  Algren [ Sat May 04, 2013 1:28 am ]
Post subject:  Re: May 10-12 Predictions

It's still going to be #1 next weekend no matter how frontloaded it is.

Well duh it will be #1. That's obvious. But that doesn't mean there isn't enough moviegoers to go around.

Post subject:  Re: May 10-12 Predictions

I didn't say there wouldn't be enough moviegoers to go around. I said that Iron Man 3's popularity/controversy will still be strong in its 2nd weekend therefore The Great Gatsby will not reach the heights that have been predicted in this thread ($40m, lol). Peeples will gross more because it goes for a different type of moviegoer.

I think it makes 30-35 because of Leo. It will finish second. IM3 will probably drop over 60% like most fanboy films.

You mean black? Because black people don't watch Iron Man? :unsure: I think Gatsby has enough appeal to a different audience to breakout as well. I don't think any so-called "controversy" will work in Iron Man's favor either. But we'll just have to wait and see.

People are pissed about the Mandarin thing, so people will want to check it out. Sure, blacks go and see Iron Man 3, but they will easily drop it in favour of a movie made by a brother. I can't see whites dropping IM3 for Leonardo DiCaprio in a period set borefest.
