Elessar

I believe friday jump will be similar to R1's due to the reasons mentioned (PLF inflating midweekdays and some people still having off especially in Canada where A2 is doing better comparably). But internal weekend multiplier might be a bit better due to runtime.

I miss the 20m+ days...

Canada came to the rescue once again.

What do you mean, no one? I could name a few. Welcome, btw. It is a somewhat different calendar setup than during the original's run, which makes the comparison a little bit more tricky. For instance, A1 had more people off work and school in the first week because it opened closer to Christmas. A2 so far is having great legs for a huge blockbuster, no doubt, but it is not having A1 legs. Both had similar 3rd weekends despite A2 opening much higher. It is that bigger opening which A2 has been benefiting from the first two weeks. However, A1 has pretty much caught up with it now (day-to-day) and i might be wrong but i highly doubt A2 will be able to keep pace.

Crisis averted.

It gets better on 2nd viewing.

Really liked the remake. Looking forward to this.

No excuses. For me superstar is the upper echelon of stardom, like Tom Cruise. I don't consider him being in the same league. But maybe that's a regional thing, me being from Europe.

Rock was never a superstar.

R1's upcoming friday was a smidgen bellow its tuesday. How will A2 behave? *looks for someone with a crystal ball*

Avatar 1 had amazing WED drops. I think tomorrow will be more telling... Hopefully, less than -30%.

I knew Monday was somewhat helped by China's Holiday, still i had hoped for a 30+ tuesday but maybe that was unrealistic. Ultimatey, it was just an arbitrary threshold.

Ditto. I might also be a little superstitious in this regard. Don't want to jinx it.

That should be SAT-SUN, because in Japan weekends are 2-day.

Whatever happens, it surely is a fun ride. In terms of forum engagement, this is defintely an event. And i love the fact that it still has a shot at the domestic yearly crown, albeit a small one, imho.

Sunday estimates went up by a few millions yesterday and the same happend today with monday estimates. Early projections that are basically guesswork were updated based on actual data.

That would be +3m from estimates, not gonna happen. Estimates will be pretty close to actuals. Pretty much the only time estimates are off by that much is with sunday (and in this case holiday monday) early projections but we are tuesday afternoon already and estimates just got updated.

There's really only one person like that. Best to skip his posts.

As far as i know, monday was a holiday.

21-22? Btw, how do you find those gifs...

That's what i said ("different calendar setup").

40m (-40%)

Agreed, nothing will top the hype of TFA (old gang is back). Or Episode 1 (1st movie / content since the OT).

Because of different calendar setup (and the storm). A1 had about similar first midweekdays than A2 despite a much smaller opening. That tells you how much more inflated those days were. Hey, don't get me wrong, i'd love for you to be right but you are not making much sense.
