It needs $100m this weekend to beat TDK's second weekend attendance and $118 to beat Spider-Man's (the record).

Wow! $19m was pretty much the ceiling for Monday. MTA is a monster.

The 23m ticket crown is waiting for it at $193m with a 12% IMAX take. I think it will happen.

Exactly. "First Place": Spider-Man 3, The Dark Knight, The Avengers, The Dark Knight Rises (inevitable)"Second Place": Spider-Man, Dead Man's Chest, ROTS 3-day"Third Place": New Moon, Deathly Hallows Pt 2, Hunger Gamesgets a little crowded after that.

The Raid really had quite the tumble. From 14 to almost 900 theaters and down to 48 all in 7 weeks.

I have it hitting $500m at about 24 days. Too scared to extrapolate further.

Multipliers!SM3: $462m IM2: $506mShrek 3: $550mAWE: $559mAiW: $597m (apparently not many movies do between 2.7 and 3.1x)DMC: $647mIM1: $670m TDK: $698m SM1: $729m Shrek 2: $847mLooks like it should end up with around $600m.

Yep.

Even though they messed up Green Lantern, they really just need a post-Nolan Batman movie and a Flash or Wonder Woman movie in addition to Man of Steel to pull it off. 2016 sounds possible since WB is probably putting some serious effort into it now that these weekend numbers have come out.

Wow. That's 21.5-22.5 est tickets. Record broken. Must have hit the cheap theaters. Awesome!

Seems like it. I have 22.15m adjusting for 3D and IMAX.

It didn't break the ticket sales record.

$760,507,626 and not a penny more.

I think it's almost statistically impossible to prove that the record has been broken since Spider-Man.

Rough ticket estimates for the record breakers:1983: Return of the Jedi - 7.31m1984: Temple of Doom - 7.54m1989: Batman - 10.20m1992: Batman Returns - 11.01m1993: Jurassic Park - 11.36m1995: Batman Forever - 12.13m1997: The Lost World - 15.72m2001: Harry Potter 1 - 15.95m2002: Spider-Man - 19.77m2006: Dead Man's Chest - 20.71m2007: Spider-Man 3 - 21.70m2008: The Dark Knight - 21.74m2012: The Avengers - 22.15m

I think it will match DH2's attendance, but probably not its gross.

Zou Bisou Bisou to Lionsgate this weekend.

I'm thinking that 3x is the hard ceiling for this, it doesn't have summer weekdays.

Still unbelievable. And that's coming from a non-fan.

Going to be over $150m, damn. Not really a fan, but I have to hand it Lionsgate, well done. This had absolutely everything going for it going into the weekend.

Double-edged sword for Lionsgate, now no one's paying attention to Mad Men this weekend.

Doesn't look like this is staying around $140m, there's a chance this is taking SM3'S Saturday and the 2D opening record.Spider-Man: 68.3 - 53 - 40 (161)TDK: 68.3 - 47.5 - 44 (160 but Sunday won't be that high)AIW: 68.3 - 52.5 - 37 (158)DH2: 68.3 - 43.3 - 36.4 (148)New Moon: 68.3 - 44.2 - 29 (141 but Sunday won't be that low)
