    Ignore jacksparrow. It is obvious that he is new to BO and hasn't learned the ropes yet of how legs work. Based off his predictions, I would say that TA is the first film he has ever followed.

    Ah, well you've got to start somewhere. I remember back in 2008 after TDK's first Monday # came out I was a crazy fanboy as well and totally jumped on the TDK over Titanic bandwagon :lol:

    lol, I'm sorry, but how is this going to happen? What are you predicting SWATH to open to and what number will TA and MIB3 make this weekend? I don't even want to ask about the rest yet.

    I am debating between 400m and 420m. I see when marketing picks up on what I will predict.

    I'll do it for you...a week or two before it comes out you'll say the positive buzz and early reviews, plus marketing push and tracking, have you upping your prediction to $175m ow and $480-500m dom...even though you've been thinking that all along ;)

    With a $29.1 million gross Friday, Disney's "The Avengers" is out adventuring for the soph sesh domestic B.O. record, but it may require a slightly stronger hold to beat it.Compared with last Friday, the actioner is performing 64% below its opening weekend. This is a reasonable drop for a B.O. buster like "Avengers," but if it persists through Sunday, pic will fall barely short of beating "Avatar's" second frame feat of $75.5 million

    Damn Variety really are clueless, i can't see how this doesn't beat 75mil.

    Did they really write that? That's beyond embarrassing.

    Yeah, but this isn't IRONMAN 2 though or THOR or SM3 for that matter.. This is a movie that trumps all of them and is in alot of demand right now, even approaching it's 2nd weekend.. Your guaging too much on how things performed in the past more than they are now..

    Movies don't usually increase their first Wednesday to Thursday, especially not in May, especailly not when it's a big movie and especially not 17% like you say to get to $16m...you're not thinking it through on this one.

    Best case scenario is staying flat, but more likely, it'll be a 5-10% drop. Which is still very good and sets it up well for a possible $100m second weekend.

    Saw it again and I liked it even better the second time (though that partly could be because I saw it in 2D this time and enjoyed it more as the post converted 3D adds nothing)...one thing that bugs me though (and other movies have done this), but how does destroying the "mother-ship" kill the living aliens on earth? I understand maybe it messes up machines but those alien creatures are alive so how would blowing up the ship kill them?It's a minor complaint but something that bugged me. Anyway, will probably see it one more time in theaters in a couple weeks when it's less crowded.A-

    May 4, 2012 Weekend (AVENGERS Opening Discussion): ACTUAL 207.4 mill!!!!

    Nice to see WB playing nice and giving the fans what they want (TA in IMAX)...first reason is I'm sure Disney paid them, second, WB knows big business for a SH movie now means big business for a SH movie later ;) Plus I'm sure some WB top execs, who have the power to do this are also the ones who've seen TDKR and are like ok Marvel, we'll let you have fun with TA now, cause we know what's coming in July...or at least that's my hope :lol:

    Even Kal was right once in blue moon.

    Ha, yeah this does kind of remind me of Kal with Avatar.Still hard to fathom a $207m ow, it's just simply unbelievable. I know $600m is being thrown around, but it's definitely too early to say that's happening without seeing how this week and next weekend goes...but it sure does look like $600m could happen. I will admit that the only thing dampening my enthusiasm is that what happened this weekend with TA is what I wanted to happen with TDKR as I'm a bigger fan of that series and wanted that to get the ow record and win the summer/year, which looks almost impossible now.The only hope is if there was one movie I'd say has a chance to do it (other than Avatar 2 in 3-5 years) it'd be TDKR.
