Damn ... this would be incredible if had 25+ MU, 20+ WWZ, & high teens MOS.
MOS with 19 would in all likelihood beat out WWZ if it does 21.
I was hoping for 45 the way things were trending ... but 19 would lead to damn near 60.
Rth, our boxoffice based God ... we need some confirmation.
WHen the final rating came in it actually increased to over 20 million, including 8.5 rating (or nearly 10+ million) in the 18-49 demo ... so yeah, it will do 25 tonight.
Yep ... when you consider that the difference between 7 million & 8 million is about 100K tickets ... having a game 7 do 25 million viewers is a bit of a problem, especially considering the demographics for MOS.
I typed my post wrong ... I assume you figured what I meant ... but got rid of the 'not'
I still see at least over The Hobbit & Skyfall.
... now that's assuming this weekend doesn't go lower than 40.
Thank you jamie ... this film is in ALL likelihood still heading towards 300 million ... or more if it holds well later in its release.
Overreacting to #s going up against one of the most watched events of the year in the US is absurd.
BTW, on topic ... not a horrible # ... in fact much better than Rth initial thought of 8.25-8.5 ... Today could be ugly ... but I suppose Friday jump will be the key. I would guess 43-50 is most logical landing point range for this weekend. Anything more would be a big success IMO.
That's certainly going to be at least a million less than I anticipated ... but whatever ... like Jaime said, it's should hit 300 regardless ... BUT my over in the 318+ club might be wrong.
I'd say 305-325 is now my 20 million range.
Also, cool TDK trilogy set ...
... and very saddened to hear of Tony Soprano himself ... James Gandolfini ... 51 is WAY too young.
I can't see less than 60% given the huge day on Sunday ... but stranger things have happened.
if only we could have a TDK monday $ situation ... Tuesday, July 22, 2008 was a glorious day ... under 44% drop and 24+ million Mother of God moment for that film.
Oh well, can't wait to track this over the next couple weeks.
Hmmm, I'm not sure if it will go that low with the long summer weekdays & 4th of July helping ... but we'll see. I'm interested to see the first weekday #s ... I would guess 40 million M-T would be expected ... any higher and will be nice sign.
Man, if they had lumped it all together, this film would have surpassed Iron Man 2 (pending actuals) ... crazy.
I see 330-350 as a finishing point ... unless big time legs develop.
Jeez, that film made 56 million opening weekend. GOD ... how sad.
Still to possibly increase after already doing over 90 million in box office the previous 2+ days would be crazy.
