Wednesday Numbers (05/15)(Trek 3.25M early IMAX+midnts, GG 3.9, IM3 3.8)

#StarTrek #IntoDarkness opens to $2M from WED night IMAX + $1.25M from all midnight shows. Not huge. But midweek is slower.

[baumer]

IM3 basically lost its IMAX screens. I'm confused how it will reach 400M at this point. I'm doing numbers in my head and it's just not working out.

 

 

 

[Heretic]

WHAT. That sounds horrible for Star Trek.

[druv10]

Hope and pray, hope and pray.

 

 

Your prayers aren't gonna be answered. It'll get to 400M, I see something around 415-420M finish.

2M? That burns in my eyes. Paramount changed the release date too late.

Cumberflop fo' sho'!

 

I knew people had cooled on this franchise. It's been too long since ST1. People lost interest.

So-so start. 

 

How long ago did it move to Thursday? I think most people still think it opens tomorrow, meaning they think preview screenings are tonight.

[Lordmandeep]

I think avengers would have dropped harder but I imagine it would have caused big problems for the openers.

So-so start. 

 

It was expected. Again the move to a 4 day weekend was last minute with all the trailers, many TV spot and banners still saying "Opening May 17th." That # is fine.

Wow!  That is low.  I wonder, does that include midnights and sneaks other than IMAX?

Flop Flop Flopto Flopness

 

Did I do that right?

[RichWS]

It'll be fine for the weekend. In the meantime, let the hyperventilating begin!

[baumer]

I'd be really curious to see how Avengers would face up against Gatsby, Trek and Furious Six/Hangover III opening in quick succession. Probably a bit better than IM3 will/is, but no doubt legs would have been hurt. 

 

Also, WEAK previews/midnights for Star Trek. Awareness obviously wasn't there. 

 

Strangely enough, Trek sold out three IMAX theaters in my area last night at 8-9 pm.

[CJohn]

Shit Paramount ruining my fun for today! They should have moved the release date one month ago, not one week ago!!!

I love Cumberflop. Trevor reigns supreme.

It's not too bad I think considering the late change in release dates. I wasn't aware of it until last weekend

3.25m (I think that's what that means?) is more comforting. I could see that translating into 15-17m for Thursday and 18-20m for the full OD + previews gross.

Thursday number won't be big so it'll need a massive jump on Friday and I'm not sure it's going to get that.

So, IM3 has RIP while STiD is DOA. Did I get that right?
