#ED

Well not exactly the same weekend as F7. Sure, it's Easter weekend, but not everyone is on Vacation starting Monday. NYC schools are open and Spring Break isn't until April 25th. So if NYC schools are open, I'm assuming a lot more states are in a similar situation. This can only mean expect a WORSE SUNDAY AND MONDAY DROP THAN FURIOUS 7.

NCAA Basketball Tournament, which does draw a decent amount of ratings.

So... NO ONE HERE HAS A CLUE WHAT TODAY'S FINAL GROSS WILL BE OR TOMORROW. YOUR OPINION/GUESS IS JUST AS GOOD AS EVERYONE ELSES. Cool.

Agreed. 80M could mean a frontloaded 160M or... 180M+.

BUT THE RT RATING THO!?

2ND UPDATE, noon: After beating all superhero Thursday night previews outside of The Dark Knight Rises, Warner Bros. Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice is poised to outstrip the opening for The Hunger Games ($152.5M) to become the highest pre-summer debut of all time with $157M-$170M. Forget aboutFurious 7‘s records — BvS is set to take the best March and Easter opening, as well as best opening day prior to May, which rival industry estimates have between $76M-$80M. Imax, RealD, 4DX are all drivers for BvS biz. http://deadline.com/2016/03/batman-v-superman-opening-weekend-box-office-records-1201726300/

From looking at matinees, sources say that BvS is pacing just under Avengers: Age Of Ultron ($84.4M opening day, $191.3M FSS), but we won’t know until tonight whether Zack Snyder’s latest will overtake the Joss Whedon sequel . http://deadline.com/2016/03/batman-v-superman-opening-weekend-box-office-records-1201726300/

Should Batman v Superman follow the same Friday-Sunday performance as Age of Ultron it would result in an $84.7 million Friday, dropping to around $56.7 million on Saturday and $50.5 million on Sunday for a $191.9 million opening. If it follows the Dark Knight Rises path it would mean a $68.4 million Friday, $40.6m Saturday and $36.3m Sunday for a $145.4 million opening. A good bet would be to expect something in the middle, which would put a good target estimate right now around $166.2 million. http://www.boxofficemojo.com/news/?id=4170&p=.htm

I have RAW tickets this Monday.

I'm doing Regal RPX tomorrow. I couldn't get 4DX tickets since they're only sold at the Union Square box office.

Good news! We have a sale this weekend on Gold Accounts! You get a lot more Likes with it!

Good to hear. Quick, someone point out this means nothing.

I don't remember. It was 4 years ago.

It did. I did the math 4 years ago.

Tele, you somehow liked it a lot more than I did? Perhaps you did the 4DX?

I've hated all the Transformers movies and not once wished it tanked at the B.O.

Regarding yesterday’s big openings, we’ve got Mexico, which debuted with $5.8 million including record-breaking midnight showings. It’s the largest opening day in history in said market for a Warner Bros./Time Warner TWX -0.96% Inc. movie. It nabbed the biggest opening day of all-time in Brazil as well with $3.5m. Germany debuted with $2.8m for the largest opening day of 2016 and the largest superhero movie ever. It had a 70% bigger opening than Deadpool, for what that’s worth. The film opened with $2.5 million on 594 Australian screens and $1.9m in Russia. It earned $1.7m in Korea and made a whopping $1.1m in the United Arab Emirates, which is apparently not only Warner’s biggest opening ever but 93% bigger than Star Wars: The Force Awakens and 68% bigger than Deadpool. Huh… Deadpool had a bigger opening day than The Force Awakens? I did not know that. http://www.forbes.com/sites/scottmendelson/2016/03/25/batman-v-superman-box-office-44m-overseas-in-two-days-nearing-100m-worldwide/#33cd3c9c1652

It's a good number. The same people who have been ragging on the movie this entire thread are saying it's not. Nothing new.

150M should be guaranteed. We need about 80M to hit 160M+.

I have no words for some of you right now.

If this makes 65M total today, you will be completely right. I still see 75M+. I could be wrong, but I think pre-sales were good for today.
