I think JW will top Titanic US domestic, purely because if it starts getting that close, Universal will move heaven and earth to open it back out again in many places and as said arrange to partner it up with something else big.

Possibly, yeah. People forget Avengers had a major Labor Day expansion to push its numbers.
Inside Out now stands just under 251 million. Unadjusted its now Pixar's seventh highest grosser but should pass The Incredibles and likely both Monsters, Inc. films by the end of the week.
1 Toy Story 3 BV $415,004,880 4,028 $110,307,189 4,028 6/18/10 2 Finding Nemo BV $339,714,978 3,425 $70,251,710 3,374 5/30/03 3 Up BV $293,004,164 3,886 $68,108,790 3,766 5/29/09 4 Monsters University BV $268,492,764 4,004 $82,429,469 4,004 6/21/13 5 The Incredibles BV $261,441,092 3,933 $70,467,623 3,933 11/5/04 6 Monsters, Inc.

Jurassic World held well for Monday but needs to earn over 3.26 million today to resume its pattern of outdoing Avengers' daily take before that film's 4-day Memorial Day bump.

Ant-Man starts at 63% with 20 reviews so far. I'm kind of dreading the release because I'm pretty sure that Ant-Man is going to be Marvel's first misfire and then we'll be treated to article after article about how the bubble has burst and this is the beginning of the end of Superhero movies.

boxoffice.com is predicting $114M for the Minions opening. Self/less is expected to bomb.
Jurassic World is now sitting at $1.408B as of yesterday.

I would call it a misfire if Marvel was what they are today. But since they were just starting out I wouldn't call it a misfire at all. Iron Man, Thor, and Captain America were by far the biggest risks that Marvel had undertaken.

I am too, it's got to happen at some point after all. But I actually think Ant-Man will turn out okay. Not earth-shattering but some quality box office returns and already those that like the film seem to really like it.

I think Ant Man will do okay as long as Marvel and Disney are realistic about it. Doesn't look like its gonna be a breakout like Guardians. The trailers have not lit the world on fire like GOTG's.
Early tracking is saying its gonna open to about 50 mill. Which is a decent open.
Unless they really spent 150 million on an Ant Man movie. In which case, 'The f*** are you thinking, bro?'

If Black Panther, Captain Marvel, and Inhumans turn out to be massive hits then Marvel/Disney are literally invincible and can do no wrong.

The reviews I've read so far for Ant-Man make it sound like my kind of superhero movie.
Tongue-in-cheek comedy and heartwarming aspects crossed with intense action? Gimmie gimmie gimmie.

I don't think a bad movie will burst the Marvel bubble, if it happens it will be a mixture of oversaturation/repetition/people-realizing-nothing-actually-really-happens-in-these-movies.

And that was my biggest problem with Age of Ultron and most of Phase 2. Nothing really happens and nothing is at stake. Age of Ultron just felt like filler and there was no real danger to the movie and based on the hype of Captain America Civil War, it feels like a filler prequel. Like it's only acceptable for not a lot of progression or things on stake happen if it's the first movie of a series like Guardians of the Galaxy. And even then Guardians of the Galaxy did a lot of progression of the phase 2 films setting up the Marvel Space Universe, infinity stones, Thanos, and a shit load of brand new characters. More so than Thor the Dark World or Iron Man 3.

Speaking of Ultron.
I know it made a gazillion dollars but is it me or is no one talking about it at all?
Unlike the first I feel like it just faded away quick from discussion.

Ultron is in a weird spot. It has been extremely successful, yet significantly down from the first Avengers movie. Also, Jurassic World surprised most everyone and has easily surpassed Ultron at the box office. The reaction to Ultron was positive, but not as positive as the first Avengers movie. If it could be judged on its own merits, Ultron would easily be considered a blow-away success. But inevitably, it will be compared to the first Avengers movie which was a phenomenon. Because it hasn't been as big of a hit as the first movie, people will see that as disappointing.

I think because everyone knew Thanos would be in Avengers 3, people looked at Ultron and were just like "Okay, let's see how we get to Avengers 3." It was kinda viewed as like "that filler episode" on a TV show before you get to the big sha-bang story arc.

Both water and popular taste find their level. Yeah, Jurassic World has made a lot of money, but in 2 years' time, nobody is going to talk about it as a good movie, just like how people don't talk of Avatar or Inception as good movies. And by 'good movie', since quality is always relative, I mean something that will have an impact on popular movie culture, if not popular culture on the whole. In 20 years' time, people will ask why a meh movie made so much money at the time, as we might when we look back at 1995 when thinking about Batman Forever and Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls. The same can be said for Age of Ultron too. Avatar I may agree with you depending on how much money the sequel makes. When I talk to people 4-7 years younger than me, they reminisce Avatar as a big part of there childhood or adolescence. I disagree on Inception since since there is still tons of praise for it as a modern classic, pop songs still have inception in their lyrics in 2015, and everyone keeps saying ____ception when there are layers. But yeah Age of Ultron sort of felt like the first movie, but without the humour, charm, charming villain in Loki, and the spectacle of them teaming up together had wore off. This one felt it stripped a lot of things from the original, but added nothing to replace them. Like Dear God the trailers were amazing making it look like shit is really going to go down and The Avengers are about to face there real first challenge (first one biggest challenge was liking each other not Loki). Instead it was basically Tony Stark made a big oopsie in 10 mins in creating Ultron whose suddenly evil with no slow burn, but wasn't much of a challenge or did much damage. You can just feel the burnout of Joss Whedon in that movie

But in retrospect, I also feel people are much more looking forward to Civil War, Guardians 2, Spider-Man, and of course Infinity War. I just don't see how anyone can say Age of Ultron was a disappointment box office wise when it grossed over a billion dollars.
