Wasn't that Hollywood Reporter (16-18)?

iJackSparrow, would you please stop railing against people that don't think TA will make a gazillion dollars in the foreseeable future?

You better believe it, those are official studio estimates and they are very accurate.

To be fair, Nikki posts numbers much earlier. The earlier the less accurate.

You're right, i don't know. But Iron Man with pretty great legs decreased -18%, so why wouldn't Avengers?

4-day Memorial weekend will be less than 3-day next weekend.

An increase was pretty much expected. Nothing to get excited about.

Just checked. Yeah, i agree, all movies in the top 10 have a very good week-to-week drop (around 26%). I doubt they can sustain it throughout the week and into the weekend. Avengers might do a little less than i anticipated in the coming days...

Yeah, something like that. With a $7m Thursday. Around $60m weekend (+ / - $3m).

Seems low. I see it doing closer to $60m.

I know. I'm saying it won't go all the way down to $5.9m, coming off a Tuesday that might be over $9m.

I wish, but around $7m seems more likely. Many have it go down today, forgetting how strong Tuesdays are?

Damn rth for bringing my hopes up.

Am i suppose to laugh now?

73.5%

Complete bullshit. The dwarves are distinct to make it easier for the audience to tell them apart.

Conservative? On the contrary.

Maybe it gets better in the 2nd half of the year. Can't get much worse, right?

The most any Harry Potter ever did in Spain was $24m. Harry Potter didn't collapse, at least not in terms of box office.Just looking at all Harry Potters and compared to other markets, i don't see this collapse in Spain's box office. For sure, Spain is doing worse than for example UK and Germany, where the last Potter outgrossed every other Potter by at least like 15%, whereas in Spain DH2 lost about 10% compared to the biggest Potter there, but how much is that market conditions is difficult to say and again it's definitely not a huge collapse.

So box office is less immune to a weak economy in Europe than in the USA?You guys have some box office data to show that?

It's already 3 weeks in release, the numbers are not gonna go up by a whole lot, maybe 30%?Whoa, i didn't know (or forgot) ROTK destroyed DH2 in Spain and beat it in Italy and Germany without 8 years of inflation and 3D. Makes me wonder what Hobbit can do...

Please learn to read.I'm saying its main markets are those that you listed, which is typical for a SH movie. Mainland Europe is providing good numbers for a SH movie but nothing spectacular.

Again, average for a movie that is about to hit $900m OS. On their own and for a SH movie, they are pretty good but nothing spectacular.Dunno why Avatar, it's in a different league. And LOTR was a decade ago and didn't had 3D (yet it's still beating Avengers pretty handily). As for TDK, it's also a SH movie, hence okay numbers. But here you go:Avatar OS breakdownROTK OS breakdownTDK OS breakdown

Urm. Yes. Again, mainland Europe doesn't include UK. In the UK and its former colonies, SH movies are popular.

Is Spiderman more popular in Europe? Maybe a little bit.
