#ED

I can see more movies following suit with the 10PM showings, especially big blockbusters.

I kinda figured they would count the Thursday numbers with the weekend.

30M Midnight + Previews45M Friday 40M Saturday27M Sunday142M? Hopefully we can get a 71M+ OD.

Ditto! LMAO!

Seriously? 450M is bad?

Everyone has an opinion,I get it. But let's be realistic now. If a movie profits, good.If it double's its profits, great.If it does insane amount of money, AMAZING!Nothing bad here unless it flops.

The IMAX at Lincoln Sqaure now has reserved seating. That's the closest to assigned seating here in NYC lol...

These are the same people who say TDKR grossing 448M is terrible.

Both can be discussed.1. 10PM showings didn't help PA4 IMO.2. 30.4 is awesome. I guess a few of us thought it could hit 40M

I would only be "under" for being a fan of TDKR. Guys, this still has potential to open above 150M...

We should all want the BO to do great. Why are people so negative here?

I had a 150M OW prediction... I guess I may be ahead of myself by thinking this could hit 40M(10pm + midnight).

We can still see a 70M OD IMO. Midnight numbers can be very deceiving.

No doubt 30M is good Baumer. I just wanted to see records broken! :(Btw, looks like Summit may not release separate numbers but hopefully they do.

Everyone is pointing towards July 20th again. There is no good reason why this didn't do much higher IMO.

From Gitesh's twitter: Massive $30.4M opening for #Twilight THU night from 10p shows onwards. Same as last pic which started at midnight https://twitter.com/giteshpandya ___________ FRIDAY 9 AM, 2ND UPDATE: Summit Entertainment reports that Breaking Dawn Part 2 opened in North America with $30.4 million from Thursday 10 PM and Friday midnight shows in over 3,000 theaters. This is a Twilight Saga best, earning slightly more than Breaking Dawn Part 1‘s $30.25M, Eclipse‘s $30M, or New Moon‘s $26.27M. Today, the final installment in the epic vampre franchise opens in 4,070 theaters. Now the question is whether it can exceed Breaking Dawn Part 1‘s $138.1M first weekend tally in U.S./Canada. http://deadline.com/...es-at-midnight/ ___________ FRIDAY 3 PM, 3RD UPDATE: My sources say that Breaking Dawn Part 2 is running behind Part 1 in 4,070 North American theaters as the Twilight Saga ends its phenomenal run. Right now, based on matinee trends, the vampire epic looks like $130 million through Sunday, not quite equal to Part 1‘s $138.1M first weekend tally in U.S./Canada. In 2nd place, Eon Productions/MGM/Sony Pictures’ latest James Bond actioner Skyfalllooks down 65% for a $31M second weekend. That brings its North American cume to nearly $160M in just its first 10 days of release. All in worldwide, MGM/Sony expect the pic to make $800M. Also very strong is Steven Spielberg’s Oscar contender Lincoln which expanded its run from 11 venues to 1,775 this second weekend in release; it looks to earn $25M through Sunday near a $26.5M cume. _________________ FRIDAY 5:30 PM, 4TH UPDATE: The worldwide total for Breaking Dawn Part 2 is almost $174M already.My sources have now refined their domestic numbers for Breaking Dawn Part 2 – $60M-$65M for today (which includes that $30.4M from Thursday 10 PM and Friday midnight late shows) and $135M for its opening weekend. It’ll be a squeaker whether or not this final Twilight Saga film breaks the franchise record of $138.1M set by Breaking Dawn Part 1. Overseas, Summit Entertainment just announced that, from the 37 International territories that opened as of Thursday, the international cumulative gross for Breaking Dawn Part 2 is a very impressive $38.8 million (not including the U.S. and Canada). Today, 24 additional territories are opening, which brings the total to 61 territories opened along with the U.S. and Canada. Nearly every market has opened at or well above the last installment in the Twilight Saga franchise, Breaking Dawn Part 1. _________________ SATURDAY 2 AM WRITETHRU, 6TH UPDATE: It’s all over for the Twilight Saga (until the inevitable reboot) but it’s going out with a big bite of the box office. The worldwide total for Summit Entertainment’s Breaking Dawn Part 2 is almost $174M already – and could go to $275 through Sunday. My sources have now refined their domestic numbers for this finale – $65M for Friday (although some tell me the true figure is $70M) and $135M for its opening weekend in 4,070 North American theaters. It’ll be a squeaker whether or not Breaking Dawn Part 2 passes the $138.1M set by Part 1.in 2011 But it definitely won’t beat New Moon‘s franchise first-weekend record of $142.8M set in 2009. Summit reported that Breaking Dawn Part 2 opened in North America to long lines and sold-out screenings with $30.4M from Thursday 10 PM and Friday midnight late shows in over 3,000 theaters. This was a Twilight Saga best, earning slightly more than Breaking Dawn Part 1‘s $30.25M. (Eclipse made $30M, and New Moon $26.27M.) Needless to say, the Twi-Hards gave this final franchise installment an ‘A’ CinemaScore which may mean more fans go see it multiple times. _____________ SATURDAY 8 AM, 8TH UPDATE: It’s all over for the Twilight Saga (until the inevitable reboot) but it’s going out with a big bite of the box office. The worldwide total for Summit Entertainment’s Breaking Dawn Part 2 is already $162.2M worldwide through Friday - and should go to $275 global through Sunday. Summit has now refined its domestic numbers for this finale to $71.2M for Friday (including Thursday 10 PM/Friday midnight shows). That North American opening day represents the 6th highest in history right behind the Twilight Saga’s Breaking Dawn Part One‘s $71.6M, and New Moon‘s $72.7M. Breaking Dawn Part 2 should total $135+M for its debut weekend in 4,070 North American theaters. It’ll be a squeaker whether or not Breaking Dawn Part 2 passes the $138.1M set by Part 1.in 2011 But it definitely won’t beat New Moon‘s franchise first-weekend record of $142.8M set in 2009. Summit reported that Breaking Dawn Part 2 opened in North America to long lines and sold-out screenings with $30.4M from Thursday 10 PM and Friday midnight late shows in over 3,000 theaters. This was a Twilight Saga best, earning slightly more than Breaking Dawn Part 1‘s $30.25M. (Eclipse made $30M, and New Moon $26.27M.)

Ditto.

So Skyfall could hit 45M this weekend?
