Kayu was asking if it was the average 2D price. It's not. And it's not a useful comparison tool to have an overall average when different movies have different format shares.
That's easy to account for, and it does make a significant difference because the earlier weekends have a bigger 3D share and make up the majority of the total gross.Toy Story 3BOM vs Spizzer's methodWk 1: 21.26M vs 18.41MWk 2: 11.84M vs 10.13MWk 3: 7.70M vs 6.78M40.8 vs 35.32 after 3 weeks52.2 vs 47.4M totalThe ticket estimates do start to converge, but there's still a great difference in the beginning.Now you could argue that kids' prices would give ticket sales a boost not reflected in the gross, which is why I gave a large range for the Pixar films.
No, for 2011 $7.60 was the average 2D price and $10.85 was the average 3D price
Note that those are not very accurate numbers compared to what people actually pay during the first few weeks of a movie's run, but it's consistent with the data we have from before the 3D era and therefore useful for the purposes of comparison.

Wow, was not expecting that big of an increase. Still has to get about a ~45% second weekend drop to hit $200M by Sunday.
