Tues TA should be about 5m & BS around 2.3m (similar to Monday)

From memory its been brought up before but as yet they haven't corrected it.

Actually if you look at BOM it also includes by calendar year BO, it just when you go to Yearly section the default (or 1st tab) is by year of release the last tab is BO by calendar year. when you read their end of year report and where they mention titles its based on BO in the year (not titles released in year), so when they say that 30 movies grossed 100mil+ in 2011 and 25 in 2010 it includes titles from prior years crossing over if the statement was based on releases for the year it would have said 28 in 2011 and 23 in 2010. its all to qualify what the actually BO was for the year in question.A number of times in the past on BOM forums in aus section, I use to correct statements on when someone said X is the #1 for 2010 and I'd be like no its not its #3 because Z amount is in the following year.

Sorry when I first read your reponse I thought you meant you prefered it the other way

Actually its not because if your talking about BO for say 2011 you don't include the BO component for a title thats in 2012 because the money was earned in 2012 not 2011 and doesn't go towards that priors years overall total

Yeah about #14, In 97 it was also #1 for year, #2 Liar Liar #3 Lost World (Full Monty 97 only BO ranked #5)

Actually totally get the BO in year of release, there are two types of charts one that BO in year of releases (which goes to match yearly BO & Market shares etc, i.e. if BO in 2011 (1/1-31/12) is X what actually made up X) which also includes what is the overall BO so X earned Y in 2009 and overall BO is now up to Z. then theres the based on year of release regardless of what time period BO fell (so a 2009 film doesn't appear in 2010).If you go to BOM site and look at yearly BO, two of the options I described above are available for example if you looked at BOM calendar Yearly in 2009 Avatar is #5 and in 2010 its #1, Sherlock Holmes in 2011 is #19 and so far in 2012 is #15.In Australia 2009 Avatar is #3 in 2009 and #1 in 2010, HP DH pt1 in 2010 is #3 and in 2011 is #89The by calendar is the most common because when they say in 2009 the BO was 1.087bil (avatar contributed 40.278m to it and ranked 3) and in 2010 1.128bil (avatar contributed 75.3mil to the total #1 for the year and #1 for Fox for the year)Another example take the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America) annual report for 2011 look at page 17, Top 25 films US/Can 2011 it based on BO within the year and includes 2010 titles, there is no BO chart in the report that is just based on films only released in 2011http://www.mpaa.org/...ff6fb5455a9.pdf

MIB 6,232,420 / 22,790,356 3.111mMIB2 5,353,291 17,619,149 1.816m

Monday should be around 5.5-7m give or take and BS 2.4m

Passing it is a given regardeless, but yeah interesting with Canada holiday how Monday holds up, Thought I'd read some posts recently where they didn't think when Canada has a holiday its significant to BO , but it actually is, not that it means BO take some major jump but in a nutshell it would have dropped lot more if not , with TA Fri/sat CA had higher than normal share and Sunday of cause its share nearly doubled and it was higher BO than Sat and weekend was down less than 30%

Yeah, it'll be under 30% from Sat, quite a few Sunday under est

Yep exactly, pretty much under est most things sunday expect to see Sunday increase (but I think a number of people were expecting that anyway as well), , TA CA was up on Sunday & not as bigger drops fri/sat

Weekend actuals top 31-TD 346 5,094,480 5,894,9022-TA 607 3,513,268 -32% 43,921,5213-DS 369 2,189,936 -41% 6,935,182

looking very close at present between Dictator & TA, TA may bet it sat/sun, DS may even bet Dictator on Sat

lol oh boy

Sat looking like BS 8.5-9.5m, TA 24-25m,Dictator 6-6.5, see what happens

Yeah Dictator will be clear winner weekend, TA #2 (#4 Admits) won't be down much thanks to holiday weekend

You'll be total correct re: Dictator & TA, on Friday while Dictator was #1, Sat TA claims

Dictator will be #1 for weekend, but for example on Friday TA was about 55% of Dic but come Sat it was 82%, I think you said earlier you thought Dic would be about 5mil weekend well it should be about that and TA will definetly be over 3m

Be the low end 16-18m, its either be just under or over just 16m, BS about 9-9.5, Dictator 5.7-6, WTE should manage about 4, DS 3.7-9 maybe 4 but doubt it

BS I wouldn't have said 11-12m could be wrong but more like 8-10 closer to 8 see what happens, Dictator yeah at least 5 prob closer to 6, WTE around 4.5 sounds about right, DS 4m mark & TA atm would say 16-18

Actually I was paying attention do you want me to tell you to the dollar ,geez

Well I put that out hrs ago but no no change in range

Yep should be 6-7mil

Most likely between 7-8m, a 2nd monday outside of any form of holidays pretty good
