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

[John Marston]

Of course not. The reviews and the WOM tell you all you need to know about IM3's quality. A lot of poeple hated it and got really fanboy butthurt over the twist, but the overwhelming majority of the GA has reacted very positively to it.

It seems reviews and WOM are decent but unspectacular. Definitely not overwhelmingly positive and in terms of critics reviews, closer to IM2 than Iron Man 1

[MovieMan89]

$350M and $400M were understandable? Spider Man, minus 3D, was in the same boat, and SM2 decreased.

Yeah but Star Trek '09 wasn't a box office phenom like Spider-Man. There was nowhere to go but down for it. Though SM2 probably would have slightly increased with 3D.

[Lordmandeep]

Yeah, in no way shape or form are any specific numbers locked in for Friday and Saturday for STID. Anything could still happen at this point.

 

Nothing is certain but based on local theaters it should jump a alot Friday. 

[kitik]

Do we even have any Thursday guesses yet (besides midnights)?

 

yes, from BTC

Rth is here 

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Rth, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

Nothing is certain but based on local theaters it should jump a alot Friday. 

 

Of course it's going to jump a lot. Or else we would be talking about STID missing $200m.

 

Question is, is it gonna jump a lot or A LOT!

It's good that TA2 has only 3 year gap.

It's not just about the gap, it's more about the gap related to the impact the first movie had on the GA. 

 

AVATAR 2 sequel will be released like 6/7 years later.  Terminator 2 was released 8 years after its first installment.

 

Those movies have had a great impact on the memory of the GA and in the case of Terminator2, the gap between the two movies was used to popularize T1 through TV relentlessly and everywhere. 

 

Most people discovered T1 through TV and got pumped up for its sequel years before its release.

 

I guess the lack of the Internet and the underuse of video enabled TV to become the next bigger platform for hits. Hit movies were directly channeled from movies to TV channels giving access to a larger panel of people to popularize a movie. 

 

You tend to be more open to discover a movie on TV since you don't have to pay for it.  If you like it, you will be more inclined to pay for its sequel.

 

Today, you pass through video, hence you have to be at the very least a little bit interested in the product to pay for it.  Through TV you touch the indifferent folks who may discover something they will be able to like ultimately.

Yea, it's not working.....it should be that easy.  

 

I'm not computer illiterate....this is just not working.

[Chewy]

Really? I doubt that applies to many people. They know Kirk and Spock but not Khan.

 

Kirk's famous (infamous?) "Khaaaaaaaan" scream is parodied everywhere. I bet more people than you think could tell you that Khan is the name of a Star Trek villain

yep, we're just going to have to tune in on both Friday and Saturday to see just how much it'll jump

 

there's certainly no way we can do some typical weekend projections from this Thurdsay number

[Sam]

Tonight is gonna be a long night, all waiting for Rth to post 

[Lordmandeep]

How big is now the source of tension...

 

 

One of the biggest freak outs over an extended opening was TF3... I remember people calling for sub 300 million after only getting 42 million opening day... It ended up around 181 million over 6 days and 88% of TF2 and likley finish near TF2 if it were not for DH2 record opening.

try memegeneator and not quickmeme. 

final gross.

I'm guessing 30-35% increase for tomorrow. 

[Kvikk Lunsj]

I can see Star Trek disappointing  on its OW. There seems like hype is not the high for it. 

[fishstick]

I really don`t care that much to wait. It can`t beat movies that I want beaten so I`ll read the report in the morning. IM3 was a completely different ballgame cause it had a legit shot at winning the year despite detractors nonsense.

The BTC number for Friday is a 135% increase from Thursday I think.
