People expecting it to flop are predicting under 100mEveryone else is around 150m, nothing unreasonable.

BD2 OD and OW record IMO.....Potter went from a 61.6m OD in DH1 to 91m OD in DH2, BD2 will be able to reach 91M after BD1 made 70m. A 70m OD means this franchise isn't going anywhere now.

Pointman couldn't show his face anymore after that victory.

We destroyed them. They were all shut up on OD.

DH2 was a HP anomaly because it was the finale, not because it was a great film in the fans/general public's eyes that suddenly changed the the type of legs the film had which is the issue here, it had a standard multiplier.BD1 clearly will not be able to break that 2 ish multiplier all the sequels have seen. It won't pass 300m if it opens below 140m.

Who cares what a bunch of nobody posters say on some fansite forum.This is BO, we only interpret fact and the fact is Potter is a bigger movie franchise than Twilight, maybe that is why Twilight gets extra hate around here from Potter, people seem overly keen on something beating Potter at the BO so they constantly draw comparisons with Twilight and Twilight fans seem eager to prove they are the better product but honestly they are two different things that shouldn't be compared, that is what bothers me.

But that has nothing to do with BO patterns which the DH1 comparison does. There is no way WOM is strong enough to manage a sub 60% drop. All the fans will see it there usual 2 or 3 times but nothing significant enough to create a BO anomaly for the franchise.

Well I haven't seen anyone here treat Twilight's second weekend drops in a derogatory manner other than posters who deliberatly do it to piss off fans from both franchises. Frontloadedness seems to be frowned upon at BO and I never understood why, I think it is impressive when a film gets to a predetermined total/capacity (300m for twilight/potter) really quickly, it shows how eager the fan base is.It is hypocrisy on both sides, during DH1's release last year when it 'dissapointed' on OW the teilight fans were out in packs, it isn't one sided.

Why exactly is it looking at a great hold? DH1 dropped 60.7%, 60-65% would be great for it but it will likely drop around 65-70%.

Yeh because Eclipse's 3Day OW was deflated by the massive OD that OOTP and HBP never saw.

But the thing is it wouldn't, it is something I wouldn't have expected from Gray, it is like he is trying to get a 'story' out of it. I don't know, you made my comment a bigger deal than it was, Subers other comment about Twilight being a bigger Movie franchise domestically might have some truth to it in the end if BD2 breaks the OD and OW record/passes 300m next year which is looking very possible right now.Why would he expect ti to follow the same pattern as NM but not Eclipse? I know he said if, but he chose to ignore a Eclipse type of trajectory for the weekend/OD.

Well I don't particularily care about the Twilight/Potter war.He must be a Twilight fan because his projection of 160m off of 30m midnights makes zero sense BO wise, he knew it, I knew it and I'm sure you did to.

Ray subers must be a twilight fan.

Twilight will be around 600m WW, Shelrock can beat. it.

Performed to expectation, the range of predictions was 125-150m will fall smack bang in the middle of it all.70m Friday38m Sat, about flat/small drop minus midnightand a 34% drop for 25m Sun - 133m hope it falls close to my 135m OW prediction.

Great number!OD of 65 -70m 135 -140m OW IMO

Yeh great last episode.

Potter lows are still far superior to anything we have seen.

Losing Potter sucks, it was amazing and I enjoyed every minute of it, I hope the next generation gets to experience something so life changing.

I like it.

OUCH, the beginning of the end for this franchise.Yeh 300m OS seems reasonable.

Not OS. It's almost summer on our end.

The cut out memories in HBP, that was inexcusable, it should all have been there and so should have Grindelwald/Dumbeldore relationship.

A year is a long time in BO, I started two years ago clueless, you learn fast.

Opening today in a bunch of markets.Sticking with 370m.
