If CA was based on a successful video game franchise then I'd maybe see the gamer audience

... but it's not so, if they turn up it'll just be for the regular patriotic war blockbuster with geeky overtones reasons.

Agree with people who don't think this will perform overseas, unless WOM is amazing. Most people I know would rather see transformers.

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 recommend losing the "I {nm} Moviesnob Jul 12, 16:01

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

What did GLANT do opening weekend? Just curious. I don't think alot of ppl know capam has anything to do with ironman/thor/hulk {nm} jms2 Jul 12, 16:35

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

are u kiddin me , international gross is going to be a huge downer ihateIPO's Jul 12, 16:40

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

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} stevie1der328 Jul 12, 17:06

do yall not think that its trading prbly at a high for ow? {nm} Dorfman Jul 12, 17:16
