paperheart Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 can Ant-Man do $85MM in China and crack $500MM WW? recent results at China BO suggest it's possible: GOTG $97MM Cap: WS $116MM X-Men: DOFP $117MM AoU: $240MM mitigating factors may be: 3 month lag between US and China release,October release date and head to head competition with Inside Out.

Turtle Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 I got a chance to see this with my wife about a week ago. We both really liked it. Something we talked about on the way home...how much does Ant-Man weigh when he shrinks? Assuming that Scott and the suit weigh a combined 180lbs full size, is that what he weighs when shrunk? After all, they are doing nothing but reducing the space between his atoms...the mass is all still there. does he weigh about the same as an insect when shrunk? There seem to be arguments for both within the movie. And as a refresher, a person's weight is a force just like any other. Force is mass x acceleration. In the case of weight, mass would be the mass of your body, the acceleration is the acceleration due to gravity (which is more or less constant in the movie). Presumably, the space between atoms contains negligible mass...the mass lies in the atoms which remain unchanged unless I missed an explanation when going to get more popcorn. Hope mentions something about him being able to exert the full force of his strength into a very small area, likening him to a bullet. Based on the force he can exert on full-size people, this would mean that his mass, and thus weight, remain unchanged when he shrinks. Even the size of an ant, he weighs 180lbs. You can see this when the first time he shrinks, he falls on some tile and cracks it. An insect falling on tile would do nothing, but drop something heavy into a small surface area and it'd be like hitting it with a hammer. These broken tiles indicate that he weighs exactly as much shrunk as he does full size. Plus, that would be the only way he can man-handle all his opponents the way he does in miniature form However, he runs over people's feet at the party and no one seems to notice. When he first shows off his ability to his friends, he climbs up on Luis' shoulder without Luis even knowing. Not to mention he travels on the back of a flying ant who could easily lift something roughly its own weight but has no chance lifting (let alone flying) with something that weighs what a human weighs. I know, suspension of belief. Comic book physics. I get it. Again, we really enjoyed the movie, but did anyone else notice his varying weight?

Firespitter Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 It's the same contradictions that exist in the comic books. I'm sure the movie creators (or someone else involved in the production) notated the fact that Antman jumps up on a lot of people and stuff that wouldn't have supported a 180 lb. man. Just realize that this is Earth (no sub number) and the movies are Earth-199999. Our physics don't make sense there, but they make comic book sense. -Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paperheart Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 (edited) So worldwide its done less then Terminator Genisys? won't have once it opens in China. plus AM's theatrical release is much more profitable: $180MM US X .55 = $99MM to studio + $230MM Int'l X .45 = $104MM to studio +$? China X .25 = ? So, $203MM + 25% of China less $130MM production cost. TG: $90MM US X .55 = $50MM to studio + $240MM Int'l X .45 = $108MM to studio + $115MM China X .25 = $29MM to studio. So $187MM to studio less $155 production cost. Edited October 31, 2015 by paperheart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosco685 Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 BOX OFFICE: ANT-MAN's Debut In China Beats GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY By 60% By the end of its run, Guardians of the Galaxy grossed an incredible $96 million in China, and now Ant-Man looks like it could end up doing similar numbers if early word from Thursday midnight screenings are anything to go by. The final Phase 3 earned $0.71 million, a figure which may not sound like a lot, but one that's 60% ahead of what the James Gunn helmed release took last year. It's too early to say whether Ant-Man's box office run in China could add another $100 million or so to the $409 million it's already taken, but it's clearly going to receive a fairly significant boost!

Bosco685 Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Wow, didn't think it was going to do that much. I do hope it exceeds expectations. But be careful with Josh Wilding's Marvel reporting. He hypes many items from Marvel before the details are clear. Tomorrow's numbers will be telling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosco685 Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Now may be a good time to celebrate. BOX OFFICE: ANT-MAN Has Third Biggest Marvel Opening Of All-Time In China Following the news yesterday that Ant-Man opened 60% bigger in China during midnight screenings than Guardians of the Galaxy did last year, it has now been confirmed that the final Phase 2 movie had Marvel's third biggest opening day of all-time in the country. In fact, its only been beaten by Iron Man 3 and Avengers: Age of Ultron, and its $12.9 million haul signals good things to come for Ant-Man. The former went on to earn $120 million there, while the latter grossed $240 million. Comic book movies. Who would have ever thought it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
