    That was great too, but really not all that shocking for me. I pretty much knew 140m+ was in the bag once it started breaking presale records.

    Yeah this will certainly not follow TA's Sat/Sun pattern. That was highly remarkable for such a big OD because as you said buzz after people first saw it was just so insane that theaters couldn't keep up with demand. IM3 isn't getting near that kind of WOM, even if it's getting good WOM.

    And the thing is everyone knew the midnight record was toast when DH2 was about to hit. If you were surprised it broke the record than you clearly didn't follow box office. Sure few knew it was gonna go that big at midnight, but we all knew midnight record was getting smashed. Whereas next to no one knew Avatar would beat Titanic, Avengers and Spiderman would obliterate the OW records, and New Moon would set the OD record. That's why those 4 were more impressive for me.

    Oh goodie, an unexpected bonus!

    Sad but true. DH2's run was so anticlimactic if you take out the midnights it's almost pathetic. Even it's Friday w/o midnights was blah. For me when I think of the greatest box office achievements since I've been following box office (around 2000 or so) I think: 1. Avatar's run 2. Avenger's OW (tie) 2. SM1's OW (tie) 4. New Moon's OD 5. DH2's midnight

    I meant I think Ep 7 could beat DH2's mids even with 9pms. We'd have no way of knowing for sure though. Unless we got some 60m+ number or something.
  7. MovieMan89
    Only thing that could even come close to stopping it in that scenario would be 9pm showings.

    I never thought I'd see a 200m OW for years to come. That was far more impressive to me than any midnight number. And everyone knew DH2 would shatter the midnight record so it's not like it was a surprise. Almost no one knew TA would even get anywhere near 200 OW.

    That should be all the proof we need that the West Coast can make all the difference here.
  11. MovieMan89
    Hold on there BKB. You may wanna wait for some actual confirmed numbers before you hand us your fanboy card.
  12. MovieMan89
    Well normal folks don't even follow or care about box office.
  13. MovieMan89
    Neither did we. But most of us expected more than 150's. But this is a premature argument because we have no confirmation yet that's where it's headed.
  14. MovieMan89
    Coming off a movie in the franchise that grossed 208m on OW what do you expect?
  15. MovieMan89
    It seems like the numbers for this all day have been the most unreliable for a mega blockbuster in quite some time. We can't seem to get anything locked down.

    I agree that Mandarin should under no circumstance be compared to a well known or iconic comic book villain. We have to keep in mind the general audience had no idea who Iron Man even was before 2008, let alone the Mandarin.

    I know the twist has literally been a non factor to everyone I've talked to so far. When I bring it up some of my friends have even asked what twist I'm talking about, lol.
  18. MovieMan89
    Why are we already writing off SM2's gross as unreachable? Even if it does 155m this weekend it only needs IM2's multi to get to SM2's total. Hardly impossible.
  19. MovieMan89
    Yeah 70m would be a great OD. I was talking about if it only hits $63-65m.
  20. MovieMan89
  21. MovieMan89
    Am bummed that 160m OW seems to be out now. Thought that would definitely happen. Mid 150's isn't bad, but disappointing. It also makes 400m very hard now with this month's schedule.
  22. MovieMan89
    Wish he coulda seen the movie, Tony Stark had some very encouraging words for him:
  23. MovieMan89
    Lol, true but I'd rather it hit a "boring" 160m than bomb.
  24. MovieMan89
    Maybe the fact that it's gonna have one of the biggest ODs ever.
  25. MovieMan89
    23) Will Nikki's first posting about IM3 contain the phrase "NOT A RECORD" anywhere in the post? NO The answer is technically no, lol. But who care right, we're all pretty much in the same boat with that one.
