180k Friday would lead to about 900k-1M for 4-day weekend perhaps? If so, The Heat is locked to be closest. Cause I think PR needs to be at 102M or so to be closer than TH.

Tell us your thoughts after. I saw some TV spots and it looks funny. Might check it out.

None of us picked The Heat, so yay for everyone losing points :PPR still has a shot if it pulled in good numbers over 4-days. The more money PR earned, the closer it is to the target, while The Heat is moving farther.

The one thing I really like about BO of SK is that both local and Hollywood releases can do well. Their local movies especially can pull in very big numbers, which is awesome, cause a lot of them are good movies.

Yeah. That one, IM3, and SP are the big boys this year, help contributing to the surge in admissions. There are quite a numbers of movies with 4M+ admissions too iirc. I still haven't watched Miracle yet, I hope I can find it online with Eng sub.

I thought Miracle in Cell No. 7 was this year?

That's incredible. There were quite a few local titles doing very well. Hollywood releases didn't pull in mega big numbers but a lot of them performed well. But wow, up 30%, that's great.

I saw TV spots for that. It looks pretty funny.

All I know is that I predicted 700M for MU in my BSG. It'll make more than that by a good amount. So, I see that as a great result for MU, as well as good result for my game. Also, looks like MU will be the third highest grossing Pixar movie WW only behind TS3 and FN, so to me, it's definitely a win.

Even with good release date, I doubt CF will do well in Japan anyway.

It is for me

18M 4-day for 1D? Yes, awesome!

Wow, no Friday updates at all?

I only need 1M. Yay for us then

-461 according to BOM.

Even if it makes 20M in Japan, it still won't reach 700M WW. Needs about 40M-45M from Japan for that.And I was talking about possible finish with the OW number. There are no figures or estimates yet, but if MOS opened to 2.5M for 3-day, then 15M will be the likely total.

I see. 2.5M for 3-day won't get it to 20M total though.Base in the numbers at Toho, looks like The Wind Rises could win the weekend again. I wish I could watch the movie soon.

3M+ for 3-day?

1) Will One Direction open to more than 19.5 mill? No 2) Will any film increase more than 12.5% on Sunday? Yes 3) Will Paranoia fall less than 35%? No 4) Will Getaway open to more than Hardball did? No 5) Will Closed Circuit open to more than 16.775 mill for the 6 day? No 6) Will Mortal Instruments fall less than 32.5%? No 7) Will You're Next increase more than 5% on Sunday? No 8) Will MI have a Monday drop of less than 15% No 9) Will The Butler finish in the top 2 on Monday? Yes 10) Will Millers finish in the top 3? Yes 11) Will any animated film in the top 50 drop less than 12.25%? Yes 12) Will Man of Steel fall less than 15% for the 4 day? No 13) Will WHD fall more than 15% for the 4 day? Yes 14) Will any film in the top 20 increase more than 200%? Yes 15) Will any film in the top 10 have an increase of more than 17.5% for the 4 day? Yes 12/15 3000 13/15 6000 14/15 9000 15/15 15000 What finishes in spots: 5 The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones 6 The World's End 10 You're Next 11 Blue Jasmine 13 2 Guns Bonus 1: What will the top three films add up to on Thursday? 10,000 3.975 Bonus 2: What will the top 5 films add up to on Friday? 10,000 16.441 Bonus 3: What will the top 3 films add up to on Sunday? 15,000 11.263 Bonus 4: What will the combined grosses of DM2, Smurfs 2 and Butler add up to for the 3 day? 10,000 23.028 Bonus 5: What will the combined % drop be for Millers, Kick Ass 2 and World's End for the three day? 15,000 I'm not too sure what you mean. Because % drop can be positive or negative, and I don't know whether you want to take the signs into account when adding them. So -60.3% (if signs count) or 88.05% (if it's adding up numbers only)

I see So we'll better wait for early estimates or Corpse then

So The Wind Rises repeat? That would be great. And wow, they forecast that Man of Steel will open behind STiD's 2nd weekend? Isn't that just too low?

If it pulled in good numbers, it could finish closer than The Heat percentage-wise to the target gross.

Yay for free points.
