Saturday Gross outcomes: 70M - 207M+ 65M- 200M+ 60M- 190M+

84M 60M 45M 189M So basically it needs to defy all odds of a sequel and increase from Friday day business and at least hit 65M today and have a decrease less than 25% to stand a chance to hit over 200M.

A decrease was always possible. This just means that 207M may be the best OW of this decade.

Hahahahahahjahahahhahahahahhaahhahahahahhaha Alright. I let that out. Relax guys. Perhaps it can hold well or increase today vs NBA Playoffs Game 7, Kentucky Derby, May vs Pacman.

Whatever.

...

While large format and 3D are providing some extra Red Bull to Ultron‘s ticket sales this weekend, the motion-seat 4DX format is another catalyst. It’s a new exhib technology that was wowing during CinemaCon. 4DX is reporting an average of 85% occupancy rates for its Ultron showtimes in the U.S. Furious 7, which is looking at an estimated fifth frame of $7.7M stateside, played in 4DX around the world and recently passed 1M admissions. WAIT. Where are these 4D LOCATIONS?

Per late night returns, it appears as though Ultron will chalk up an estimated $85M, making it second to Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2‘s first day of $91.07M and beating the first Avengers which bowed to $80.8M. All these opening figures are propped by Thursday night previews. Ultron had more showtimes than its first chapter since it kicked off earlier at 7PM vs. midnight (in the wake of the Aurora, Colorado shootings, exhibs no longer launch films at midnight). Current FSS bow for Ultron is $202.6M per industry calculations, but that’s incorporating a ding from the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight. That figure would put Ultron second to Avengers’ bow in the all-time B.O. annals. Deadline.com 202M?

Ouch.

wrong thread.

This is about the time the west coast folks come on.

Any update?

Over DH2 is definetly a win today.

So tomorrow it can also drop heavily ala DH2. NBA Finals Game 7 with 2 big markets, The Derby, and of course the biggest boxing fight in the last 15 years.

RTH, is Regal at Times Square winning NYC? I somehow doubt it.

Not surprised. That Regal at Times Square sucks. Empire 25 would have won the weekend.

NYC theaters are a mess. Sell outs till about 11:30PM shows.

You have to assume IW: Part 1 will decline a bit, so I guess part 2 may be right.

Moderation: Everyone settle down and quit the bickering. History is being made today and you want to get banned from the thread. So stop

Can everyone get along? Seriously.

Nothing will top this movie for YEARS if it opens above 215M+.

Avatar change...

Everything in NYC is sold out till about 10:30PM EST shows. This is insane.

Well to be fair, DH2 really deserves the opening day record since it took place in 1 actual day as supposed to having previews start the night before at 7PM. Blame the 5 extra hours!

If this hits 100M today...
