Does anyone really think Sin City 2 is going to do that well? I mean, I'm interested to see it (mainly for Eva Green and because I'm a fan of the books) but the first one was hardly a blockbuster and the buzz seems rather negative.

No, but I do think it'll open higher than $20m. A few Box Office sites suggest a $15m opening, but I think it'll be stronger than that. Guardians should have around $18m for the weekend.

I haven't heard any negative buzz, moreso no buzz at all.

I will be shocked if SC2 does more than $20m OW. Hell, if it gets above $15m I'll be amazed.

/\ $30 million? Way too high.

It'll scrape $20.

Glad to see The Expendables tank, but I hate that the execs will assume the low performance was due to the leak and not the fact that the movies are unwatchable shit that are so fucking shitty that they could clog industrial strength toilets.

I sincerely hope no one gives any more money to that franchise.

Guardians will have the highest domestic gross of the year in about a week.

I never would have thought 2014's B.O. would be topped by two Marvel films - one a sequel to a decent first film, the other a completely unknown (to mass audiences) property. They're stoked.

Good time to be Marvel. Well... More than usual.

It's like impossible to get into comic books if you aren't all ready a fan. They are pretty expensive and story lines are convoluted, so many characters and so much back story that you need to keep up on. Aint nobody got time(or money) for that.

I don't want to know how you had that at your fingertips so quickly.

Neither of you are going to be close. Looks like it'll barely get to $10M.

What a bomb... stick a fork in it, SC is done. They really have no one else to blame... a sequel 9+ yrs later, a pathetic late August release date...

That's the core problem. It should've been released 4 years after the first.
