    I don’t think anyone has been saying that 220 would be an objective disspointment. At least, I certainly hope not — that would be absurd. I think people were just trying to express how 220 would be a personal disspointment, and were told that they needed a perspective check for their troubles. That’s all I was trying to push back against.

    It’s like you completely missed the point of my post. 225 is disspointing if you were expecting notably more. Many people were expecting more. Ergo, for many people, 225 is disappointing. How “rational” those expectations may have been plays no part in the simple truth that they weren’t met. It is completely possible both to know that your hopes were a lonshot that was unlikely and to have an emotional reaction of disappointment anyway. If someone was hoping to get accepted to Stanford, and they get rejected, are you going to tell them “oh, that was an irrational hope anyway considering their acceptance rate, this isn’t ‘actually’ a disspointment?”

    It wasn’t!? But it’s right there in the name

    Maybe part of the issue is people talking past each other by interpreting “disappointing” as “not great.” 225 is great. It is just also disappointing. These concepts are not mutually exclusive if you were hoping for “super great.” (Not that you need to be *expecting* super great for great to be dissapointing, mind you. Even if you were expecting 225 and hoping for 250, 225 could be both great and disappointing.)

    Lol at people trying to tell others that they need a “perspective check” just because they dared to dream a little bigger. There was a movie that had at least somewhat of a chance to break a big #1 record, and it didn’t. As someone following the box office for fun, that will never be anything but disappointing. Any kind of performance can be relatively disappointing if it gets very close to something and misses, no matter what the absolute numbers may be.

    Hoping for 10 then
  7. Cooper Legion
    Holy shit, if this is Iron Jimbo’s reaction we’re doing 600 after all.
  8. Cooper Legion
    Avengers finished with 8.8, right? I assume IW will have worse legs, but how much worse?
  9. Cooper Legion
    Yeah, really impressive stuff. If IW pulled a similar kind of OD:final multiplier (never going to happen, purely demonstrating the insanity of BP’s) it would end up near or above TFA in the 900s
  10. Cooper Legion
    N=1

    Great for AQP, hoping for 200. BP vs ST2 for the last top 5 slot interests me a fair bit. IW should pull a true FSS between TA’s 189 and adjusted 215, for 228-254. Probably on the lower end of that though, #2 opening looks quite likely right now. Getting to 600 off a 230 opening could be pretty rough sadly, though that RT audience score makes me slightly more hopeful for an A+ than before.
  12. Cooper Legion
    Please not a 2 digit OD. Praying to Feige.
  13. Cooper Legion
    Down about 5% from last week Still not sure how the weekend will shake out then.
  14. Cooper Legion
    Yeah, 3.5 has been looking good for a while. Should end up pretty close to 4 even.
  15. Cooper Legion
    Even if IW misses, A4 will have a very pompetitive shot. Even a 5% improvement on IW might be enough to take the record.
  16. Cooper Legion
    I see we’re getting the crumbling out of the way early with this one. Still hoping for a less frontloaded weekend and the adjusted OW crown then, but hard to really say until we see Friday.
  17. Cooper Legion
    Breaking: Inside sources tell me that IW Thursday previews should land somewhere between 25M and 60M.
  18. Cooper Legion
    Yeah, since it’s a 2nd day Thurs vs 2nd day Fri can’t really draw much from it. Very interested to how the remaining 3 days can compare. By the way, is there a particular central score that captures audience reception in NZ such as RT, Maoyan, or cinema score? If not, do you have any impression of what the reception seems to be?
  19. Cooper Legion
    Drat, crumbling already.
  20. Cooper Legion
    Right, exactly. Of the 32 showings that aren’t super new, 32/32 are above 70.
  21. Cooper Legion
    These sum to 36, so that is 0 theaters that existed half an hour ago and are below 70%?
  22. Cooper Legion
    Woah, 1650 for real? I might be IN a top 3 club
  23. Cooper Legion
    In particular, Avengers 1 has the adjusted True Friday record with about 70M iirc. If IW actually does have a 260+ (which is clearly possible, though we can debate exactly how likely) then that would likely come with a 70-75 true Friday.
  24. Cooper Legion
    Dang, dropped from Wednesday With Tuesday +8% from last week and Wednesday +21% from last week, I expect Thursday to be at least +30% from last week — hardcore fans with a Thursday preview IW showing are the most likely to do a DIY double showing with a 2.5 Hour earlier Black Panther.
  25. Cooper Legion
    Wouldn’t it be more meaningful to look at adjusted figures or admissions here? There’s no reason why the nominal value of a true Friday would have any kind of cap.
