82-85M is pretty decent, yeah? Especially considering the meltdown people were having yesterday that it might come in even lower than that.

[JohnnyGossamer]

Honestly, after seeing Friday's numbers, I thought it would fall short of an $80M 4.25 day opening. While not overly impressive, Saturday's bump in sales seemed healthy. Not a bad recovery after Friday's $22M...

It isn`t 85M 3 day but 4 day. Not impressive at all considering 3D bump.

[Robertron]

Pretty disappointed with how this has played out. I thought it was a lot better than ST09, but I guess it just didn't reach out to many :/

Considering ticket price inflation, added 3D, and being a sequel to a very well-received film, it's pretty disappointing.

It's certainly one of the more interesting What Went Wrong openings. Even now no-one can agree what really happened. I'd love to be a fly on the Paramount office wall right now.

22m Friday, 27.5m Saturday, 19-20m Sunday

68-69m for the weekend, 82-83m total.

[Mojoguy]

I think everyone was hoping for at least 100M over the 4 day opening.

[Alpha]

The Saturday increase was also pretty disappointing. It should have done more, like 35-40%. Now it has a pretty good chance at missing $70 million for the three-day weekend.

 

Hopefully the Sunday drop won't be too big, and maybe then $70M 3 day is likely.

I know it's for 4-day, and it's ultimately underwhelming, no matter how people may look it.

 

But as johnnygossamer said, there were some concerns after the Friday number that it might not even reach 80M so in a sense, at least it didn't further disappoint?  I mean, mid-80s is better than mid-70s (which was briefly in the cards after that Friday number).

THIS.

 

Don't forget 4 years of inflation and 3d ticket prices.

Not true. Marketign focused on a complete unknown (villain and actor) is to blame the most but Cumbercrowd won`t admit it. Please read old posts on STID thread and you`ll see many people claiming that such focus was brilliant and would put butts in seats because eevryone was going to be intrigued...by yet another Lector wannabe. Yeah.

[Mojoguy]

I still don't know why they kept Cumberbatch's identity a secret in all the trailers. If you are going to focus on him in your trailers GO ALL OUT DAMMIT! :angry:

Iron Man 3 = HIV. It's unstoppable.

Exec 1: Needed more Channing Tatum.

Exec 2: More Tatum!!!

Exec 3: Guys, maybe we alienated the Trekkies while failing to re-capture the novelty of the first Nu Trek.

CEO: .....Exec 3...

Exec 3:   Yes?

CEO: You're fired.

No one around here accepts the fact that Star Trek as a brand is too nerdy. They have a limit to what they can gross.
