Not sure I buy the Weaving argument. All the movies you cited had a built-in audience already and probably would've done as well w/o him. {nm}

Why "Captain America," will overperform (Newest MCA Essay, link inside)... VictorY Jul 12, 15:20

What $ level would you consider overperformance for Captain America? BionicMoron, Future EAP God Jul 12, 15:37

Very good point. {nm} Juiced Jul 12, 16:23

Good read. I'm very torn on the film's prospects, personally, but I think it should at least reach the $55-60m status quo for its opening. {nm} ShawnMR Jul 12, 15:52

I'm thinking over now.... I'd say at least 68... The patriotic stuff may just do well afterall... {nm} VictorY Jul 12, 15:56

I'm right you're wrong attitude in the essay {nm} Moviesnob Jul 12, 16:02

It is very poorly written, and it is not a good argument. I have changed my mind; I would like this site to revert to magic 8-ball style. {nm} second gary Jul 12, 18:49

I'm being nice {nm} Moviesnob Jul 12, 19:01

for some reason I don't see this doing over 40mil. {nm} jms2 Jul 12, 16:15

I am not sold yet on it yet either but 40 seems quite low. The trailers look bad and it does have Evans but 40 still seems low. {nm} Juiced Jul 12, 16:20

53.1 million... {nm} VictorY Jul 12, 16:37

Thanks... Its also going up the 2nd week of HP being out. Alot of people may see it then after avoiding the chaos of opening weekend. {nm} jms2 Jul 12, 16:43

It's no different than Inglourious Basterds which did more internationally than domestic. {nm} Antibody Jul 12, 16:58

While I agree it's a minor issue, ib is not the same. It was more French and German than English {nm} Moviesnob Jul 12, 18:35

If CA was based on a successful video game franchise then I'd maybe see the gamer audience spinks Jul 12, 22:51
