I've been twice, and no cheering from people during any of JW. Some audible oohs and ahs though.

Holy shit @ the thread title. These two weekends just will not quit defying logic. If there's a Sunday increase for it, then E no longer equals MC squared.

The water is definitely my line as well. No way am I paying that for a bottle of water. Come on now.

It's gross when it's that oil crap, or when people drown popcorn in it. But real melted butter and a moderate amount makes popcorn amazing.

Lol. It's probably more like an artificial "butter-like" oil problem, aka what most of the chains use for the popcorn instead of real butter.

I'm all out of likes, I'm so lost without them...

Yeah that too. It's ridiculous. I can pretty much only justify buying one item at concession prices. Then I need to have a reward or something or sneak in time it is.

The worst is when they keep shaking the tub/bag after every freaking bite. It's like damn, the butter has mixed as well as it's going to, ENOUGH!

I do enjoy good popcorn with movies. AMC's popcorn is fucking disgusting though. The Landmark theaters have the best around here.

In spite of my avatar, kinda with you. I tend to go for butterfinger bites over popcorn. But coke is my only movie staple. I have to pretty much restrict soda at all other times since I always get it at movies, and I go to movies way too damn much.

Dino warfare man, hybrids vs naturals.

You don't exclude Loki. They had to pay for their sin.

Gross after weekend 2 - $401 (assuming it makes $2-3m more in actuals) Weekend 3: 56m (-47%) Weekend 4: 34m (-40%) should get a Holiday boost Weekend 5: 16m (-53%) big opener in Minions/post Holiday drop Weekend 6: 10m (-38%) Weekend 7: 5m (-50%) big opener in MI5 Remaining weekends: 10m ish $532m Should pull another 120-140m in summer weekdays. So yeah, should be a very good chance of Titanic going down. Will have to have unusually good holds though to get Avatar. Which at the rate it's going so far, might not be out of the question.

Would like if I could, but don't wanna crash the forum.

Gah, out of likes for the day. Why are they limited anyways?

Considering they did the same thing last weekend to avoid being wrong about the record, seems about right. Not sure why they're so nervous about being unable to beat TA's records. Both weekends have been close, but the BO headlines don't really get reported on actuals so much as estimates. I remember TA's OW record was all over the internet, but I saw very little about JW's OW record because they lowballed for estimates. So they're missing out on getting these record breaking headlines on the web.

That's always the problem with 3D movies and why no one can definitively state what their admissions are. We're not given adequate stats to calculate that. I just always assume that OW 3D shares are the highest share a movie will have in its run due to that's when it has the most 3D showings. A lot of 3D movies don't play in 3D hardly at all after the 3rd/4th weekend, depending on how many other 3D movies have been released.

You have to factor in total 3D share not OW 3D share though. They're not the same thing. Total should be less because the movie will start losing 3D screens after OW or 2nd weekend. Also just because 48% saw it in 3D on OW doesn't mean it will maintain that percentage anyway. It really would be nice if we could get total 3D share reports or 3D shares for every weekend instead of just OW ones.

Thanks. So I will guess it does around a 30% overall 3D share then. Might only need like $675m to get TDK admissions.

+$9m increases for both please.

Good question. Do we know 3D share for OW at least? I would think a gross around $700m would put it at TDK's admissions.

Seriously, was anyone else severely annoyed they actually named the kid Gray? Is that a real life thing in naming right now? Please god tell me no.

Let's just hope the sequel isn't Jurassic Shades of Gray.

True, though she clearly can't compete with this:

That would have been awful if the two kids were the only main characters. They were just tolerable as it was. Anymore of them would have been annoying for sure.
