It's the second best drop for a summer opener in the last 10 years right next to Spider-Man's -65.3% vs -66.8% for TA.

That's a joke to compare them, right? Even Spider Man 1 which adjusted did an OW just 3 mil bellow TDK had an $15,042,300 Monday Adjusted. Summer vs. beginning of May

Summer starters always drop a lot on their first Monday.SUMMER STARTS Openers First Monday drop in the last 10 years2002 - Spider-Man - -65.3%2003 - X2: X-Men United - -70.6%2004 - Van Helsing - -68.6%2005 - Kingdom of Heaven - -67.4% (under 20 mil OW so it had nothing to fall from)2006 - Mission: Impossible III - -72.2%2007 - Spider-Man 3 - -74.2%2008 - Iron Man - -73.4%2009 - X-Men Origins: Wolverine - -74.4%2010 - Iron Man 2 - -69.9%2011 - Thor - -68%3 (2004, 2005, 2006) of those started with an under 60 mil OW, so they had way less to fall from.If TA drops to 20 000 000 $ on Monday it will have a better drop than SM - (-65.3%) vs TA (-64.9%). In an age where no matter how good WOM the degree of froantlaodness is sligthly higher, I just can't see that happening. Even a 19 mil Monday will give TA the second best drop in the last 10 years (-66.7%).

Thanks.

With it's second OS weekend and first DOM weekend TA still manages to become number 3 at WORLDWIDE OPENINGS, only 1,5 mil behind HP6 2 Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince WB $394.0 $158.0 40.1% $236.0 59.9% 2009 3 Marvel's The Avengers BV $392.5 $207.4 52.8% $185.1 47.2% 2012 Or is that its first OS OW with first DOM OW?

TOP WEEKEND THEATER AVERAGES 1982-Present 1 Marvel's The Avengers BV $47,698 4,349 I love this number. :wub:

I spend more than 30 hours waiting on the net for estimates/actuals and when they actually come, my net stops for 20 mins. :lol:

bollywoodajjtak ‏ @bollywoodajjtak#Avengers fared exceptionally well at Indian BO.Second weekend collected 7.25cr,Taking 10day total to 31.25 cr 4m all versionAnybody have an idea what that means in $?

ETA - Google answered. Yes, it it.

Look, let the people have one day of joy and out of this world predictions. After several days of less godly behavior things will calm down for most. There are as legitimate to say them as you were to post a 80 mil opening weekend. Just because they're feeling happy doesn't mean somebody has to rain on their parade right away. Let the numbers come and if they are amazing, they were right. If they are good, things will calm down. But telling anybody here to act without "blindly passionate hyperbole getting in the way of common sense". As I said - 80 mil opening weekend? Let's wait for at least numbers from weekend 2 before making any final statements.

Oh, I agree 110% with you that it'll play more like a sequel than an original. But I can't call it a sequel, 'cause for me it's not.IM -> IM2 -> IM3Thor -> Thor 2CA -> CA2TA -> TA2That's how I see them as sequels. There are just in the same marvel cinematic universe. - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marvel_Cinematic_Universe

That's just strange, having your own country, but not your own box-office.

Then is Thor a sequel to Iron Man? It even had an actor from Iron Man in it.

Exept the article just posted.

Correct, but still.

:stretcher:

OK, lets hear the excuses for number 5 - Alice in Wonderland Number 6 - Pirates of the Caribbean:Dead Man's Chest Number 7 - Toy Story 3 I mean if the first 7 in a relevant Chart are not an argument against you previous statement, not the fixed one, I don't know what is. I was and am still talking about Friday-Sunday in a second weekend.

That's a 65% drop. Seems good.

Well, maybe we needed to hit 51. :lol:Removed the chart 'cause every edit was making the white space before it gigantic.

The whole table is a link, but OK.

OK, I's using dictionary definitions of work-days and weekend days. And the why I said it was correct.Also correct would be to say it has May workdays and one weekend.Pick one, it's all the same for me.And if we're talking about OW, you are mostly corret. But we are talking about second weekend and if you'll look, you'll see that's not the case. I just checked the first 4 movies with the biggest 2nd weekends. Sunday bigger than Friday in all 4 of them.

Since I s*ck at recognizing American holidays and had to click each may date to see if it's not Memorial Weekend Monday, I think that's the highest.http://www.boxofficemojo.com/alltime/days/f-th.htm?page=Mon&p=.htm
