I thought How To Train Your Dragon was going to be a much bigger hit. I heard the movie itself was quite depressing honestly. Maybe that played a huge hand in it as well.

Deadline is saying Saturday numbers are looking strong.
The momentum just keeps building. Saturday has played out well so far for this weekend’s big opener, Paramount’s Transformers: Age of Extinction and it is holding on very strongly going into evening and late night showings. The thinking now is that the Michael Bay-directed franchise could gross anywhere between $103M to $105M for the three-day which would put it right between the grosses of the last two Transformer installments’ Friday to Sunday grosses. But that would not be an apples-to-apples comparison as they both opened on Wednesdays and had two more days of play. What a great win for the filmmakers, the studio and its top-notch marketing and distribution teams opened this lengthy, 2:45-minute film.

Maleficent has now passed both Godzilla and Amazing Spiderman 2.
'X-Men: Days of Future Past' is now the #1 movie of the year with $713 million worldwide
Frozen was #1 in Japan for the 16th straight week, tying Spirited Away for that record.
If Transformers fails to hit $300M domestic, this will be the first summer without a $300M film since 2001.

But if this is the first summer that happens, maybe this is a wake up call to people that ticket prices may be too expensive.

What people also don't see is that Captain America 2 FINALLY outseated The LEGO Movie as the #1 domestic grosser of the year.

The economy is shit and there bunch of alternatives out there like Netflix and Amazon Plus to compete with. I know let's make movies more expensive, jack up ticket prices, force 3D, and do nothing but reboots/remakes and more sequels and less something new. Yes they make good international money but they barely get a cut of the international box office compared to the domestic box office and less people are buying DVD's anymore. If Star Wars and Avengers and Avatar 2 don't exceed expectations I'm willing to bet Hollywood will implode and have a 70's low budgeted creative freedom resurgence again only for that to implode when some guy makes his version of Heaven Gate going back to a 80's original blockbuster resurgence. That or China is going to buy out Hollywood

That or China is going to buy out Hollywood Considering how successful the first Avengers was it's safe to say that it'll do more than exceed expectations. Star Wars, for what it's worth, is still pretty much up in the air. Avatar 2? The first one was such an anamoly that I am not sure how well that will do either. The only one that is a safe bet for doing monster numbers is Age of Ultron.

It's the biggest movie franchise ever, the prequels did bank, and you've got the original cast returning. It's going to do monster numbers, unless they f*** it up massively, but that goes without saying.

As of Wednesday's estimate Transformers 4 is past $150M in China. It should pass Dark of the Moon's total in that territory tomorrow or on Friday.
Domestic total as of Tuesday was ~$120M.
Domestic + China alone should be sitting at $300M+ before the weekend, and over $400M as of Sunday.
Total in those two territories should end up in the $550M range (given $275M finishes in both territories, it could be higher), so the rest of the world will have to make $350M going forward ($450M - the $100M last weekend from non-China sources) for the film to clear $1B.
