I expect Iron Man 2 to increase over the first, but not by like 50%. So what if its a super hero movie? WOM is as good as it gets for Iron Man. It will end up getting a huge opening in the first week of May and then get a couple of weeks to itself before Memorial Day Weekend.

Pirates went from a $70 million 5-day to making $300+ million...in 2003 dollars. Iron Man opened to over $100 million in 3.5 days and ended up with over $300 million in 2008 dollars. POTC1 had incredible legs. It opened the same as Batman Begins, actually a bit lower, and ended up $100 million higher.

Re: Which Future Blockbuster Will Top The DARK KNIGHT In B.O?? Magnus wrote: Iron Man is more like Transformers than any other film. Whatever Transformers 2 does, expect Iron Man to do around 5% more or less than that. I agree. Both opened big, had pretty good legs for big openers but it's hard to tell what's going to happen with the sequels. I figure they will go up, but I don't know if they'll explode like Pirates 2. The openings will be gigantic for sure.

Re: Which Future Blockbuster Will Top The DARK KNIGHT In B.O?? Iron Man 2 will see a solid increase over its predecessor, but a DMC-like increase is too much to expect unless word of mouth is as great the second time around as the first and the competition is weak.
As for the question of this thread: None of the above. Duh. It took eleven years to get another movie to cross $500 million, and with adjustments figured in, it's set to be the biggest movie released in nine years. That kind of thing doesn't come down easily.

Re: Which Future Blockbuster Will Top The DARK KNIGHT In B.O?? IM2 won't have to have as big of an increase to match or pass DMC OW. It would represent just a 32% increase. And given the WOM for the movie something closer to SM3 might even be possible.

Re: Which Future Blockbuster Will Top The DARK KNIGHT In B.O?? The best movie from that list was Ironman 2 and that film's max is probably around 400.

As for the question of this thread: None of the above. Duh. It took eleven years to get another movie to cross $500 million, and with adjustments figured in, it's set to be the biggest movie released in nine years. That kind of thing doesn't come down easily. It took 11 years and a dead actor who overdosed to get TDK to make the numbers that it has and please, spare me the boo hooing for even mentioning this again cause it's true.. If RDJ bites the dust, it will be another massive memorial tribuite like it was for Ledger in this movie.. Moving on, how about if they use a 9/11 approach with Captain America much like they did with the 1st Spiderman movie??? America needed a hero at that time and it worked.. Also, I can't believe that 97% of the vote went to "None of the Above" which indicates to me that you've all let TDK go to your heads as though no other movie can be made from this point on both in quality, FX and storyline that moviegoers would eat up, even casual moviegoers??  I should post this thread on another site to see what they'd say..

Re: Which Future Blockbuster Will Top The DARK KNIGHT In B.O?? The Dark Knight wrote: Shouldn't the title be "What Future Marvel Film..."
I mean, you didn't even include TDK Returns or The Hobbit films or Avatar or even the final HP film. It's kind of a fucked up poll.
Harry Potter 6?? How much did the last movie make domestically?? Avatar?? What the hell is that?? The HOBBIT?? I have a hard time believing that anyone other than Peter Jackson making these won't be near as good and splitting a simplistic story like The HOBBIT into 2 movies really is unnecessary since it isn't near as complex as the LOTR Trilogy which sort of required it being broken into 3 movies..

He is referring to the second part of Deathly Hallows due out in summer of 2011. That, Transformers 2, The Hobbit, and the third batman movie will all make more money than just about all of the movies you mentioned (except maybe Iron Man 2 which could come close to 400).

Re: Which Future Blockbuster Will Top The DARK KNIGHT In B.O?? I still dont understand the reasonings about HP reaching 400 million or even putting it against TDK just because its the last film. Its not like ROTS and ROTK got that much higher than their predeccesors and their films outgross any of the Potter films. We wont have a film that would outgross TDK for awhile but at least Transformers 2, The Hobbits and the Avengers have potential to make 400 million and more

Re: Which Future Blockbuster Will Top The DARK KNIGHT In B.O?? Let's not forget that, adjusted for inflation, The Dark Knight hasn't even passed Burton's Batman yet.
I mean, come on, give it another 30 years and "Friday the 13th part 47" will outsell The Dark Knight.

Your using the first film adjustments to justify that the possibility of the sequels making the same amount. That seems flawed because none of the Indiana Jones or the last Star Wars ever came close to the first film's number if we are going to use adjusted grosses for that

I am not sold on the Avengers it could do 400 or just 300 range.

I mean, come on, give it another 30 years and "Friday the 13th part 47" will outsell The Dark Knight. I know the latter part was a joke, but it wasn't really a good one. 25 years ago, Jaws was still the 3rd biggest film of all time with about 260m. Now, films today do pass 260m, but you only get like 4-5 a year. Even with inflation, it would still take a blockbuster-like film 30 years from now to trump TDK. It wouldn't have to be like a mega-blockbuster film, but it still would need to be some sort of event film to break 500m 30 year years from now. It would happen more than once a year, but only a handful of films would do it. And of course it hasn't passed Batman89 yet adjusted. It's only been 18 days!!!! It'll pass it sometime next week though, so no biggie. Oh absolutely, it takes big films just to make the Top 50 of all time films adjusted by inflation -- and yes, Dark Knight will eventually beat Batman even adjusted. My point was that you have to look at the costs of a ticket when comparing films. My car is worth about 30 times what it would have cost in 1960 but that doesn't mean anything really unless you compare what the 1960 car would cost in today's dollars. _________________Buy my books! http://michaelaventrella.com

Re: Which Future Blockbuster Will Top The DARK KNIGHT In B.O?? TDK will still beat Batman 1 adjusted by at least $70 million at this point anyway, which is pretty amazing when you consider Batman 1 was MASSIVE in '89, so it's moot.
Iron Man 2 could easily do something like 150/425, though.

Re: Which Future Blockbuster Will Top The DARK KNIGHT In B.O?? Magnus is right on inflation. Hell back in the day the only way to view a movie was at a theatre. Now nearly half of movie goers figure they can watch the movie at home if they just wait a few months.
