I am not trying to diminish its accomplishments - I love THG! - but I feel like it was absolutely ingenious for Lionsgate to release it in March.

Not as impressive, though. April is a generally slow month.

Over 35% drop Tuesday-Wednesday??

Yes you can, and people will continue to. And it's valid.

I also wonder if large amounts of African Americans have personally resolved not to see it. That is 12% of the movie-going population.

Small sample size. And personally, nearly all my friends and colleagues loved it.

Go on Twitter sometime and get back to me about the supposed mixed/negative WOM...

THG didn't stabilize until the third week. Still holding out hope.

But it's outpacing HP7p2 at this point and that hit 381m.

Its second weekend number is safe? Because that was $58.5m.

Yes, but I think he is arguing that despite the deflated weekday, THG still had a big drop on its second weekend, so if TDKR, with its high weekday numbers, can still beat THG on its second weekend, it should be headed for $450m.THG had great amazing legs after the second weekend, though, so we'll see...

Good to hear! I am 23...I honestly don't know one person my age that doesn't like the movie. Really a defining movie for my generation, but I don't know how it's perceived amongst the younger and older crowds

Downright heartbreaking.

I can only hope that such a far superior film over TF2, TDKR, coming off of a far superior movie than TF1, TDK, can beat TF2's $427m...

Before or after re-releases?
