[May 4, 2012 Weekend (AVENGERS Opening Discussion): ACTUAL 207.4 mill!!!!]

I have zero idea why people were expecting this to break the record.

I thought the Nikki's estimate question was about her estimate after midnight. I wouldve said no if I knew it meant her first estimate.

New Moon: $80m -> $72mHallows 2: $95m-$100m -> $91mThe Hunger Games: $80m -> $67m

Yeah but these were all later estimates in the day. Hallows 2 was originally like 85-90 and Hunger Games at like 65.

I think it needs at least a 72 Friday for the OW record. WOM will be good but I think the midnights show the weekend itself will be pretty frontloaded.

Marvel is hitting the panic button for sure!
