Right now I'll go with:
Age of Ultron-25 previews+57=82 million
Episode VII-34 previews+53=87 million


sick prediction for AoU

Yeah, I think I'll adjust my predictions for Episode VII but probably later on in the year.

This will still easily be Avengers. By 25-30 million.

Star Wars sure has a shot. I think it will definitely beat it overall. Avengers 2 might not top 450, and Star Wars will do that for certain.

I'm going with Star Wars, even though $30-40M of its opening day will come from Thursday night shows.

Star Wars - 100/65/55

Avengers - 85/65/50

Looks like you were closer with Ultron, let's see if your SW prediction will come true. :D

If it does come out on a Wednesday, the second weekend hold will be unreal.

$50m is possible for Japan. Huge opening there. $1.5 billion could happen. Unlikely.

Nah, $50 million would require a multiplier much too high and the exchange rate still at a 13-year low. $40 million is likely the ceiling, and that's giving it legs far greater than any non-Spider-Man superhero film.

It's already being bumped to the third/fourth biggest screens due to The Boy and the Beast taking the largest screens, and Terminator: Genisys taking the second largest and sharing the 3D screens with it this weekend. And then three other tentpoles open the week after: Hero 2, Pokemon and Inside Out. Needless to say, legs are likely to be cut short.

If this wasn't 2015 with an extremely unfavorable exchange rate, then it would probably have done nearly $60 million.

Thanks.

What's an exchange rate?

An exchange rate is the rate that one currency is exchanging/trading against another currency.

For example, the Japanese Yen has only been worth 80-83% of the US Dollar's worth for most of the year.

That's a 13-year low, so USD (Dollar) totals for films in Japan have been quite unimpressive while totals in JPY (Yen) and admissions have still been very good (a lot of records have actually been broken over the past year in Yen and admissions).
