He's at least 90 percent as big

Tatum was box office magic last year, and Pitt has always been a bigger celebrity than box office draw, just like Clooney. That said, WWZ is beating WHD, mostly because of OHF and a poor marketing campaign. With great marketing like WWZ had and a lack of redundancy, I still maintain WHD would do 60+ next weekend. Alas, I see it struggling to hit 40.

Excellent, excellent numbers for WWZ. I've smelled a breakout for about three weeks now. Too bad I didn't smell a breakout when I did my preseason predictions >_> Also, that seems like it would be a poor IM for MU after that great opening day. I don't see it falling under 85 million with that number.

3.6 million is right about where I would have expected WWZ to hit on a normal Thursday night, so it's not overperforming in that regard, but with the game, I think it debuted pretty incredibly. I'm predicting 50+ opening. I don't wanna check the review thread for risk of spoilers, but what did you think of the movie, baumer?

I don't see how WWZ doesn't hit 20 million today. Realistically, it would have done 4.2 million-ish at least without Game 7, and that number translates to about a 22 million or so opening day

Karate Kid and A-Team were the second weekend holdovers that week, and they jumped incredibly well, especially the more adult film.

Did firedeep open a second account?

http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/2013/06/21/nba-finals-game-7-second-highest-rated-nba-game-in-abc-history/188382/ WIthout Finals, WWZ was doing over 4 million for mid/prevs. Very impressive. I know that's what I would have done if the game wasn't on.

Damn, all things considered, World War Z ripped it!!!

Tele brings up a good point, but I just can't help being comparatively super optimistic about MOS on Friday. Maybe it's the Heat fan in me speaking, but the Finals game last night was huge, huge, huge. Two big teams, lots of big names, very close game, and a rare game 7. It really hurt everything. In 2010, the last time a game 7 occurred with similar hype (Lakers Celtics) on a Thursday, A-Team, Karate Kid, Get Him To The Greek, Persia, and others all jumped well over 100 percent. I know MOS is way wider and more saturated, but still. I forsee a big jump.

HEATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT! Anyway, Finals are going to really hurt everything, including MOS and WWZ preview numbers. Let's not get alarmed just yet.

Well, I'm sure SOMETHING exploded

Whoosh!

Am I the only one who enjoyed the first half more than the second? I though the flashbacks were brilliant and the best part of the movie, and all the adult Clark non-Superman stuff blew me away, too. Plus, the first flight and everything was magical. The fight in Smallville was incredible, but the whole bit with the machines and the Zod fight started to lose me a little bit.

1) Will the first place film make at least 10 mill more than the second place film? Yes 2) Will MU open to more than 65 mill? Yes 3) Will WWZ open to less than 50 mill? No 4) Will MOS drop less than 55%? No 5) Will MOS's Saturday drop less than 45% from last Saturday? Yes 6) Will WWZ make more than 2 mill at midnights/sneaks? Yes 7) Will any film in the top 12 besides Bling Ring have a Friday increase of more than 105%? Yes 8) Will Bling Ring make more than 3.5 mill No 9) Will MU fall less than 5% on Sat? Yes 10) Will WWZ drop more than 25% Sunday? No 11) Will NYSM fall less than 38% No 12) Will TITE have a Friday increase of more than 65%? Yes 13) Will WWZ and MU combine to make more than 100 mill? Yes 14) What film finishes in first? Monster's U 12/14 4000 13/14 5000 14/14 7000 What finishes in spots 2 WWZ 3 MOS 7 Epic 8 Internship 9 Bling Bling 2000 each 3000 bonus if all correct Bonus 2: Whats the combine gross of MOS and TITE 4000 68.4 Bonus 3: What % does MOS drop? 3 decimal spots plz. 4000 55.4

Might make a jump into the top five with SOTM and the Donovan, leggo!

I don't have much to say that hasn't been said except that I've never seen my theater as packed at 1 on a beautiful Sunday afternoon as it was yesterday when I saw MOS with my pops. Never though it was possible, actually.

As amazing as this run will be for MOS, I still think DM2 finishes second for the summer. Hell, there was almost a chance at one point that you could have convinced me it would finish first. I don't know why people didn't think there was an audience for a Superman movie- Superman's absolutely iconic and maybe the most famous pop culture figure in American history. All we needed was the right movie, and this proves his potent box office power.

It's bigger than the original TDKR thread, but the two TDKR threads combined are far bigger

Look, I don't shop at Wal-Mart because of their disgusting union busting bullshit, but if I got movie tickets there, I know for a fact I'd be grabbing some food and gum, maybe some headphones, while I'm in there. That's simple human nature AND simple economics. Wal-Mart knew what it was doing.

Wal-Mart could afford to sell the tickets at a root-profit loss price because I'd wager at least 80 percent of the people who bought tickets bought something from the store at the same time, generating profits in another way.

I think the whole damn shebang should be included, but let's just pretend for some second that for some reason Wal-Mart (the most efficient business of Earth) only sold half its tickets. That's still 50 million, and if you aren't impressed by that, God help you.

I slept in late, and I just have one quick question- is BOM the only site counting that 12 million as part of Thursday? What are ERC, Deadline, Variety, and BO.com doing?

Incredible. Outstanding. Also, I'm bout to shoot up in the BSG! Thank you, MOS!

Bueno or no bueno?
