Wait till...

Doesn't that midnight number constitute for a Friday/weekend thread.Someone do it up!

I wouldn't listen too much to some people on this forum. Some people here think if a movie doesn't make Avengers money, it's a flop.

It's not as big domestically as some thought when it opened to 174M last weekend.

So 70M+ is impossible?

All signs point to Gatsby at least matching Robin Hood—Fandango reports that the movie is accounting for a whopping 65 percent of ticket sales right now, which is impressive considering Iron Man 3's dominance—and 3D ticket prices should help the movie get to around $40 million.-BOM

Some movie studios aren’t looking for anything logical like money. They can’t be bought, bullied, reasoned or negotiated with. Some studios just want to watch their movie burn.

I have this weekend at 70M exactly.

Why would 300 move?It's not about the money, it's about the message.

It's fucking stupid.

All my chick friends seem very excited for Gatsby.

You must not know The Avengers effect works on the weekends!

That's way too high. 447(just under TDKR).

$8,112,391 Actual

SOTM 2Edit: 2) Spider-Man

No 10/12 3000 11/12 4000 12/12 5000 What finishes in spots 4 Pain and Gain 5 42 9 Mud 13 GI JOE RETALIATION 2000 each 3000 bonus for all four correct Bonus 1: What will the top 10 cume be? 4000 $143.87M Bonus 2: What will IM3 gross this weekend? 4000 $70.29M Bonus 3: What will IM3's WW total be after Sunday's estimates (not actuals, estimates) 4000 $930.22M

According to the rules posted, yes.

So this is headed towards 380M - 410M?

So IM3 won't reach 300M this weekend?

Didn't someone say Green Lantern drops?

Eh 60% isn't bad.

Tell me what films will finish with the 7 best opening weekends domestically. Opening weekends will include any films gross that starts at midnight on Thursday (so this can include a Thursday opening if applicable) and culminates with the Sunday gross. One caveat to this is that if a film changes it's release date, only the gross from Thursday to Sunday will count. So for example, if Iron Man 3 suddenly decides that it wants to open on a Wednesday, only the gross from Thursday to Sunday will count. There will be no exceptions to this.Thursday opening is applicable here.
