Wednesday #'s (IM3 - 8.1M) (let the meltdown begin) 200M in 6 days!

[#ED]

Didn't someone say Green Lantern drops?

Just for future reference, don't poison the daily threads with TDKR comparions. The real showdown is between IM3 and DMC and if Star Trek hits Stark badly maybe even THG (408m).

[Cmasterclay]

It just went from Iron Man 3 to Tony Stark the Giant Slayer.

Well SM3 legs aren't out of the question I'm afriad to say.  Trek is really going to cut it's legs off by weekend 3 and Fast 6 and Hangover will dent it even more by weekend 4.  Also Gatsby is getting way more buzz than I thought it would in the summer.

Once again, it's hard to compare a film that was released when schools are out (Green Lantern) versus a film that wasn't (IM3). If you want to compare films to IM3, compare it to IM2, SM3, and Wolverine, among others.

No they mentioned the other green box office king. I believe TIH dropped around 60% on its second weekend, then 55%. I dare IM3 to do worse.

The only disappointing number will be if it doesn't cross 400 Million.  As long as it does that to me it's a success domestically.  Under 400 is still huge for any Part III but you don't have 175 OW and not do 400.  Potter 8 should of done 400 also of that massive weekend.  It clearly seems there was a huge rush factor cause this was basically the sequel to The Avengers.  Not saying more aren't going to watch it cause they are but Competition is Way stronger this summer than The Avengers had which took MIB3 to detrone it on it's 4th frame.

I think we are all ignoring another one that will hurt: After Earth starring Will Smith. If nothing else it is going to be one of many films stealing screens from IM3 in coming weeks. This film is facing a ton more competition than TA or TDKR dealt with.

"The Avengers had which took MIB3 to detrone it on it's 4th frame."

 

 

Even so it was still  about 70% of MIB 3 opening lolz

[Captain Craig]

All I know is that when IM3 is at/just over $300m, next Thursday, BEFORE ST12 opens it'll be funny to still see people trying to sell a ticket to the doom train. 

[#ED]

So IM3 won't reach 300M this weekend?

It won't be over 290m by that point...

[The Dark Alfred]

So IM3 won't reach 300M this weekend?

 

Nope, it will next hit it next weekend.

[redfirebird2008]

So IM3 won't reach 300M this weekend?

 

Probably not. Even with an increase to $8.5m today, it would need nearly $87m for the weekend.

[Captain Craig]

It won't be over 290m by that point...

We'll see.

[Lordmandeep]

no around 280 million I imagine which locks up 380 million and on path to 400 million.

[#ED]

So this is headed towards 380M - 410M?

[redfirebird2008]

So this is headed towards 380M - 410M?

 

Pretty much. Dead Man's Chest at $423m is still in play for sure, but probably not much beyond that.

[RichWS]

 

It'll be down to Green Lantern status by tomorrow.

 

Indeed, Rich. Indeed. 

[Lordmandeep]

Well over 380 million dude.

 

 

IM2 made 100 million after its 2nd weekend and Im2 had far lower numbers then IM3.
