[Weekend estimates thread TA 103,052,274!!]

lol all it needs is around 29 million and it should get 100 million...

Doesn't it depend on how saturday performs?Hearing that it's a saturday type of flick, and so it should increase between 40-60%, and I have it on the low end for now.

[Weekend estimates thread TA 103,052,274!!]

Love how it's gradually climbing the later it gets. Watch the actual be like $34m.

I grew up watching the fresh prince, it was great.

But yeah, if this can have an actual around $32-$34 million, that just guarantee's a $100m 2nd weekend. I'll even use the forbidden word:

it's locked.

[Weekend estimates thread TA 103,052,274!!]

Thu: $12.39m -9.0% ($270.01m)

Fri: $30.16m+143.5% ($300.17m)

Sat: $42.96m+42.4% ($343.13m)

Sun: $28.48m -33.7% ($371.61m)

2nd Weekend: $101.6m

how high are people expecting it's Saturday number to go up by (percentage wise)?

[May 7 - 10, 2012 Weekday Numbers: AVENGERS 12.5 Thurs pg 61]

The Avengers just might barely cross the $100m mark. If it's friday increase is over 141%, it could come closer to $105m.

[May 7 - 10, 2012 Weekday Numbers: AVENGERS 12.5 Thurs pg 61]

Damn, how could I have thought a 12% drop on Wednesday would've been possible. Anyway, keeping the percentages the same but going off the wednesday numbers..

Wed: $13.61m -23.0% ($257.62m)

Thu: $12.52m -8.0% ($270.14m)

Fri: $30.11m+140.5% ($300.25m) <$300m in 8 Days! [TDK $313m in 10 Days]

Sat: $42.58m+41.4% ($342.83m)

Sun: $28.36m -33.4% ($371.19m) <$371m in 10 Days! [TDK $351m in 14 Days]

2nd Weekend: $101.05m

I'm no Rth, but what do you guys think of these numbers?

I think that the Friday increase might not be high enough.

[Results and Standings (Fake increases lead, Cedar jumps, 24lost solidifies)]

But there are still 33 people ahead of me that I have to beat in order to be #1, so I can't be 17th. ;)But, I do appreciate you making us all look better than we really are.

But those 33 people that are ahead of you didn't all place in individual ranks, almost everyone is tied with another person for their rank. You're tied with Vanilla for 17th place, and I'm tied with Townzy, Kayumanggi, Sims, and Jake gittes. Plus, this method just makes ranking seem so much simpler then skipping numbers due to ties.

[May 7 - 10, 2012 Weekday Numbers: AVENGERS 12.5 Thurs pg 61]

Who the hell is Rth? I've seen his name mentioned like 3 times already.

[Results and Standings (Fake increases lead, Cedar jumps, 24lost solidifies)]

How can you be tied for 34th?I don't get it. I mean, I'm in a 5 way tie for 7th place, not a 5 way tie for 15th place. I think this order makes more sense, plus it makes it less discouraging. Think about it AA, would you rather be told you're in 34th place or 17th?

[Results and Standings (Fake increases lead, Cedar jumps, 24lost solidifies)]

Baumer, I don't get how the numbers are not in order, because it clearly looks to be in descending order.

As for displaying points, I think this format will be easier:

30. 12,000 Pts.

1. Gopher

^That way, we know who's in what place in the rankings.

So, Dav is in 1st place, Fake and Tyler are in 2nd place, Shawn and the other 4 are in 3rd place, and so on and so forth.

I know it seems like a bit more work, but I think it'll organize everything a lot better once you get the format down.

[May 7 - 10, 2012 Weekday Numbers: AVENGERS 12.5 Thurs pg 61]

For the win

really? For the win? I thought it was Fuck the World, lmao.

[Week 2 Questions! Due by Thursday May 10 11:59 PM]

I gotta admit, MovieMan89 is my competition for this weeks questions. Especially the 3 bonus questions.

[May 7 - 10, 2012 Weekday Numbers: AVENGERS 12.5 Thurs pg 61]

From the 2nd Weekend Record:

"Mon: $18.89m -66.9% ($226.33m)

Tue: $15.93m -15.7% ($242.27m)

Wed: $13.30m -16.5% ($255.57m)

Thu: $12.10m -9.0% ($267.67m)

Fri: $30.06m+148.5% ($297.73m)

Sat: $44.30m+47.4% ($342.03m)

Sun: $29.50m -33.4% ($371.53m)

2nd Weekend: $103.86m"

Now that we got a great Tuesday hold, I'm revising it to this:

Mon: $18.89m -66.9% ($226.33m)

Tue: $17.67m -6.5% ($244.01m)

Wed: $15.46m -12.5% ($259.47m)

Thu: $13.91m -10.0% ($273.38m)

Fri: $33.45m+140.5% ($306.83m) <$306m in 8 Days! [TDK $313m in 10 Days]

Sat: $47.29m+41.4% ($354.12m) <$354m in 9 Days!! [TDK $351m in 14 Days]

Sun: $31.49m -33.4% ($385.61m)

Ok, After it's Tuesday drop was nearly 10% better than where I had it, I..

LOWERED it's Wed Drop by 4%!

INCREASED it's Thu Drop by 1%!

LOWERED it's Fri Increase by 8%!

LOWERED it's Sat Increase by 6%!

Kept Sunday the same, and it's 2nd Weekend comes to..

$112.23m!

How the hell can my 2nd weekend increase by $10m if I'm giving it lower increases on the weekend?

The Avengers is a Beast.

Also, to note, it's insane how The Avengers 2nd Friday is going to be HIGHER than Dark Shadows entire weekend.

[How much will Avengers' success help or hurt the Marvel Studio solo films at the B.O.]

I don't need Hulk in another solo movie. Avengers proves he's more interesting working with other superheroes.If he's used well in the next few Avengers movies I'll be satisfied.

If he doesn't get another solo flick, than I'd love to have more screen time of him in the next Avengers movie, since the crowd really enjoyed seeing him on the big screen.

[What Do You Expect Out of The Avengers 2?]

Maybe they can split the money? If I were MARVEL I would just buy Spider-Man back, just use all the money that freaking Avengers is bringing in for them and voila.

Or at least have Sony make a deal with Marvel to get a certain percentage of the profits. Disney already bought the merchandising rights for Spider-Man from Sony, all is left is the the Film rights itself.If Sony was to sell Spider-Man, how much do you think it'd be?

[Top 12 Talk]

We all underpredicted TA. I'm screwed already domestically and OS. Need to get the top 12 spot on. Hopefully both DS and Battleship will disappoint.

I'm hoping Battleship does $144m by the end of the game. :DAn opening over $40m (closer to $50m would be better), and if it has great WOM, it should at least be able to cross $100m.Are others kind of regretting for not putting Snow White and the Huntsmen in their Top 12? The tv spots look really cool, but I hate that Twilight bitch who stars in it. :|

[baumer's 2012 Summer Game: Domestic Top 12 Prediction Standings]

He'll lose some points.

You're seeing TA gross over $580m?

[What Do You Expect Out of The Avengers 2?]

^Jim pointed out that Sony has the rights to Spider-Man, so who knows when, or if, Marvel will ever get it back.

[baumer's 2012 Summer Game: Domestic Top 12 Prediction Standings]

Loving this!By the end of this weekend, Gopher, Totem, and Narniadis should be Blue. I think everyone really underestimated The Avengers, and the only person who might actually get points will be Dexter of Suburbia!

[What Do You Expect Out of The Avengers 2?]

Isn't Spider-Man part of the Avengers also?I'm surprised that no one is wanting him in The Amazing Spider-Man to be announced with his role in The Avengers.

[Which Marvel actor will have the best boxoffice career for next 10 yrs?]

It's obvious: Mark Ruffalo.Guy signed to be in 6 Marvel movies.

[What Do You Expect Out of The Avengers 2?]

Here are my expectations.In:Iron Man 3 (2013)Thor 2 (2013)Captain America 2 (2014)I totally expect to see clips after the credits leading up to The Avengers 2.Not only that. But I would love for Marvel to release another Hulk movie with Mark Ruffalo (he was awesome!) with a 2014 release(?), and if it's possible.I'd want:The Amazing Spider-Man (2012)The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014)To both have clips leading towards The Avengers 2 also.2015 release will be perfect!
