in response to Moviesnob's post high 20's
RS says low 80's for Guardians. if that happens then what happens to Downey's money truck?

Why would it have any effect on Downey's money truck? Assuming they want to keep making Iron Man movies, they still need him...

you could argue they dont need him if Guardians opens that huge in august. it'll prove the brand is the draw.

You could, but Marvel isn't going to want to give up the IM franchise and Downey is key to that. They can do both IM and GOTG

Valid points from both of you. I lean slightly toward the "little effect for Downey" camp since Marvel should be wise enough to know

until last week, the marketing was seen as a negative, cast was a risk, the concept is another space opera, and there were no reviews

from the beginning I've liked the trailer and away from this forum it seemed 50/50. I never thought it would come in

Have we collectively forgotten about RS's reliability? Let wait until we have some Fandango data.

I haven't forgotten, nor have I assumed it's going to open in the 80's. I find that doubtful, regardless of tracking. However, I don't

Per RogerMore's prediction database for the last 18 movies RS has done they are 75%, better than any else for that time period, although

I went and checked RS's accuracy for those 18 movies against the other predictors for that same set of movies.

Well, I guess I'm in the minority then. :) Disney's marketed this film to near perfection since day one, IMHO.

they can do both w/o Downey though. At least, thats the way I suspect marvel is thinking. I would guess hes coming back, but guardians will

The brand wouldn't be the draw it is now without Downey

good points. there are maybe a few actors that could have had it succeed. Downey is witty and charismatic enough to not hate him for

That's a Downey camp perspective. guardians opening huge gives marvel more leverage

per Forbes, he was the highest paid actor last year with $75. I think Marvel needs him more than he needs them

One can equally ask why Sony and Eon pay DCRAI so damn much to play Bond when there are other options
