But I'm betting on MOS to be a better movie.
Don't be so sure. The buzz is picking up overseas and is already tracking to do 750 WW and it's still got a month to go. The real judge is a week before it's release and we'll know more for sure. If it gets close to 1B WW, IM 3 won't win in a landslide. IM 3 won't even beat TDKR domestic total and is on pace for a 1.1 or 1.2 B WW.
WB's marketing has been STELLAR!
Sorry Hulk is always going to lack an audience. It's like making a X-Men movie without Wolverine. It wont do well with general audience. Not to mention, IT"S ALWAYS THE SAME FREAKEN STORY. "Dont make me angry", On the run, Betty is the only one who can calm him.
I watched both in the theater. I like Hulk (the first one) much more.

After Avengers, I don't see it being hard to sell a Hulk movie at all. He was the star of that movie to a lot of people.
Originally posted by -Pr-I didn't say he wasn't the spot light. I said that he wasn't what lead the movie. He just came in and out; he didn't see much spot light, but when he did come, he was awesome. Had he been given more scenes, I'm sure it would just be over. Also, his personal problems were kept in the dark, ie; control, betty, government..etc.
I honestly don't agree. The amount of people I heard talking about how awesome Hulk was after that movie was just ridiculous.He might not have had the most screen time, but to a lot of people he was the highlight.
When you start making a full movie about hulk, it's hard to make it good because the elements like Betty being the only one to calm him, government on his tail..etc aren't that fun or entertaining. It's hard for me to put it in words, but it's like Hulk is better as a support character rather then a main one

They could always kill Betty. Yes I said it. Kill her!
Not have Banner on the run anymore looking for a cure. Just have him hiding and helping people, like he was in the Avengers.
As for the Avengers, Hulk himself wasn't in the whole movie, but Banner was. And the story had a lot to do with him. Loki's plan to unleash him, Stark trying to convince Banner to "suit up" with the rest of them e.t.c. So even before he showed up, it was all building up to him showing up.
I love your guys' flawed logic. Just because a movie has 3-d does not mean it's going to get increased sales. This is fanboy logic to the core... lol. The Dark Knight had fewer ticket options, but that doesn't mean less people bought tickets. Word of mouth about Heath Ledger's performance boost the movie AT LEAST as good as 3-d would have, and probably more so.
Also, Marvel's 3-d experiences HAVE NOT been good so far. They make good movies, but they are terrible at making good 3-d movies. So it's not like everyone is going to watch their 3-d. I've only seen one Marvel 3-d movie (Captain America) and it was NOT worth it.
Again, fewer ticket options does not mean fewer ticket sales. Please, use logic when whining about potential sales.
Originally posted by -Pr-No, you're incorrect. Yes, the cost of the ticket sales will be more, but that doesn't mean that tons of those tickets are going to sell. I've seen the movie 3 times (once with my friends, once with my Mom on mother's day, and I took my girlfriend and my sisters' family to see it too). Not ONCE did I pay for a 3-d ticket. I would rather see it 3 times normal than once or twice in 3-d.
Actually, a movie will make more if it's in 3d because of the simple fact that 3d tickets cost more money.I've seen theatres, even big theatres, offering movies in 3d more than 2d when it's been an option.
Also, if you think 3-d movies "just make more money", let's look at all the 3-d movies that have come out in the past 4 years and look at their sales.... And let's see how "The Great Gatsby" does with 3-d...I'm sure it will make a gajillion dollars because it has 3-d, RIGHT?
