Avengers:Age of Ultron projected to open with 210-230M in US
Quote:
Get ready to rumble. After launching in 44 markets with $200.2M, Walt Disney’s Marvel Avengers: Age of Ultron is setting foot in the states. Conservative estimates see the film doing safely $200M at the domestic B.O. at a total of 4,247 engagements, but industry estimates see the Marvel superhero team film easily kicking the first Avengers, which owns the highest domestic opening of all-time at $207.4M, aside with a bow of $210M-$230M. Note that $230M is a very aggressive estimate. Says one rival distrib chief, “If the film opens and makes $190 million, and comes in as the second highest grossing weekend of all-time, how can that be anything but great?!”
Already, MovieTickets.com is reporting that North American advance ticket sales for Age of Ultron are currently 3.7x greater than the 2012 release of The Avengers and 4.6x greater than the 2013 release of Iron Man 3 at the same point in the sales cycle of each respective film. Age of Ultron is also trending #1 for MovieTickets.com with 84% of all tickets sold in the last 24 hours being from moviegoers wanting to see the Avengers assemble again. Internationally, MovieTickets.com’s reports its number one and two markets over the past weekend for the release of Avengers: Age of Ultron were Buenos Aires followed by London.
