Also, this is admittedly pretty trivial, but it kind of annoys me how almost everyone is still reporting the obviously wrong $27 m number for the midnights.
$30.64 is a great midnight number. Potter's OD could fall (assuming the shooting doesn't have a bigger negative impact than I'm anticipating on its initial BO). 100 million OD probably won't happen though.
Any effect the shooting will have on the box office will probably come out to a wash or a near wash.As someone who works at a theater though, it's certainly not news I'm enjoying hearing about... very sad and scary indeed.
Exactly what I was thinking.As someone who works as an usher, this movie looks like a nightmare. It's pretty hard to imagine many people going to it in reality though. Maybe it'll bring in a few heads here and there. The colors... the colors.
Pixar might have two rotten movies in a row after years of nothing but fresh films? Interesting. I actually thought the trailers for this looked pretty good.
My theater was totally dead during the day today. Definitely picked up at night but I'd be surprised if this still hits 100 million for the weekend. We'll see what tomorrow is like though.Note: We had very nice weather here, so I'm sure that was a factor.
