A 22M non-holiday weekday in July does not guarantee a 600+ gross. The same number in May does.But I really don't think we will get close to that. Rth is probably right. We are looking at 20M max...and that would be absolutely fantastic!
I love reading the first couple pages of this thread. Most people are slightly disappointed, but trying to console themselves that 150M-160M is not that bad of an opening. Who would have guessed that ~325 pages later we'd be talking about our first 200M+ opening!
Wasn't the tracking putting this at 140M - 160M? It looks like it will pass this, so we can at least be thankful for that. I'm still hoping it can pull off the opening weekend.
I know it is rare for estimates to go up with Nikki, but in this case I think it will. As many have mentioned, matinees were on part with The Dark Knight, (which opened in the summer), so how can Friday be any less than 67M?
So just to let you all know, if The Avengers had the same ratio of Midnights/Rest Of The Weekend as Iron Man 2, then it's OW total would be right around 350M.
What were the sellout reports like in places like Australia and Britain a week before the release? I'm trying to figure out if the lack of sellouts in the US so far is any indication that the film won't preform as well DOM.
How can you all say that this is going to be Iron Man 2 all over again? The focus isn't even on Iron Man. Sure, he's in it, but it is not a story about him.I've never seen Iron Man 2, and really don't have much of an interest in seeing it. This movie...I HAVE to see!
I can't really say much about exactly how much I thought Stooges will make because you all wouldn't believe me anyway since I never made an official prediction.But I suspected it would do decently based on the reaction of the trailer when I went to see THG.
