Comicopolis Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Ant-Man Trailer Hits 29 Million Views It`s going to be bigger, then the old timer comic book fans think it will be. People underestimated Guardian of the Galaxy. Marvel`s on a roll. Unless the movie is substantially better than what the trailer hints at, Marvel's roll is coming to an abrupt end. GotG had humor, heart and a grand scale that was just terrific - in comparison, Ant-Man looks flat and lifeless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BettrFastrStrongr Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 One question: are we gonna get any domestic violence in this flick? A flashback of Pym pymslapping a b, perhaps? C'mon MCU, throw us oldtimers a bone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdoginohio Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 (edited) Now come on, cut Hank some slack. First, they don't put him an Ultron movie. Second, he's got a supporting role in Ant-Man. Third, all of the growing/shrinking he's gone thru in his life. Not to mention all of the different times that he's re-invented himself. Man's got his limits.

ComicConnoisseur Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Here is a special number. 235 million domestic. Why am I bringing up that number? X-Men:Days of Future Past did about 234 million domestic. Imagine if the lowly Ant-Man could beat X-Men at the box office? If this happens it would show Hollywood is now a bigger factor in making the characters popular then the comics from which they came. To me this would be historical and a changing of guard.

Big Hero 6 $215MM vs ASM 2 $202MM -it's already happened Except I don't think that is an apt comparison. That would be like saying Wreck-it Ralph vs ASM (granted ASM does beat it by about 15 million) but the point is it was not a SUPERHERO movie. It was a kids movie that just so happened to use an obscure set of characters from a Marvel comic. If Ant Man beats X-men in the box office (and I would be surprised if it did, it was the first Marvel trailer where my opinion was ) then it says more about how important the Marvel stinger at the front of the movie is, similar to the "It's HBO" stinger was for HBO shows and that the Marvel brand is just capable of driving asses into seats no matter how recognizable the characters are. Theoretically Marvel Studios is getting to the point where they could start just creating "Marvel Movies" based solely on new -script ideas and taking nothing from the comic book world and it would still make tons of cash.

Sauce Dog Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 For some reason I don't think anyone has posted the Yellowjacket concept art (at least not this version) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosco685 Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 For some reason I don't think anyone has posted the Yellowjacket concept art (at least not this version) That was the one I posted last week, though no harm in bringing it up again. My question is does that match what Yellowjacket ended up looking like in the comic books? I didn't remember him with the spider arms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GOTG $333MM vs ASM 2 $202MM - it's already happened. Currently, the Ant-Man "stock" is estimating $200MM domestic BO. If Avengers is well received and does the $500-600MM people are expecting, i could see Ant-Man riding it's coattails to $250MM (i also thought the teaser trailer was lame) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsilverjanet Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 You can already see the residual effects of the avengers in the movies that followed IM3, Thor 2, Captain America 2 all did better after Avengers came out it should be interesting if the movie isn't great but ok how the $ will be despite the Avengers/Marvel logo greggy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
