It really doesn't matter if you off by even a dollar for imax prices for dark knight and spider-man. Why...The dark knights 6.8m imax accounts for only 4.3% of total. If current imax is around 15.4, you could estimate 4 years ago it was at 14 dollars. If you were off by a dollar either way MAXIMUM error margin would only be 0.3% of ticket sales. So add or take 65 thousand tickets. An accurate 2D price is what counts.

Hmmm..... legit?
Im currently doing a unit called instrument and measurement for my engineering course, it deals a lot with precision and accuracy errors (uncertainty). Past couple of days has really shown me how all those small errors here and there can add up
Spider-man 3 and Dark Knight both have about 21.6 million tickets (add or take a few hundred thousand) when you take into account IMAX of 6.3M and 4.8M respectively.If sunday is strong and avengers ends up with ~204 it will match this. With 207 it should handily surpass the error margin to ensure attendance record.(According to your percentages and pricing spizzer)
"Was all ready to see The Avengers with my dad. Get to the theater...tickets are sold out for the rest of the day. Day ruined "
Twitter looking good , hopefully when I wake up there will be some estimates.
This method should work, percentage of admissions divide by ticket price for each formatAvengers200[0.52/10.83 (3D) + 0.4/7.83 (2D) + 0.12/15.4 (IMAX)] = 21.37 million ticketsDark Knight(158.4 - 6.3)/7.18 (2D) + 6.3/14.2 (IMAX) = 21.63 million tickets
I don't think it will need to fudge anything. Increases for saturday excluding midnights are 14%! Spider-man 3 only increased 4% and hunger games increased 6%. Sunday drops for both were 22% and 33% respectively. I think its comfortably going to beat 28% drop needed for 200m
