Not good, much lower than TH2.

While I'm certainly still seeing a big drop from TH2 overall, let's also keep in mind the release date change came fairly late whereas TH2 was long-planned for a Thursday open.

 

Funny note: even WB's e-mail this morning stated "Thursday Late shows".

Let the spin begin...

 

EDIT: What ShawnMR said is true, to be fair.

Go Gatsby!

THE FLOPOVER PART FLOOOOOOOOOOOOOP!

What about Peeples?

3.1m is more than I thought it would make. Not many sell outs but it had a lot of show times. So I guess that helps.

 

Theaters were a dead zone last night.

It may sound like spin, but it's true. The Thursday date change WAS a big factor in the drop. I hate to bring a personal anecdote into this, but one of my best buddies considers the Hangover series to be by far his favorite movies- and when I asked him about it, he had no damn clue that the third one came out today. He was geared up to see it with a big group tomorrow. So I really do think it has an effect.

This will still make a profit though.

This could actually do $135m in total, which is what TH2 opened to over memorial weekend 2 years ago.

And the fall starts...... I probably seriously over predicted with my 210 prediction.

So do most "flops" these days.

That's a mighty big drop from Part II. Haven't they been pushing the Thursday for two weeks?

[ecstasy]

Biggestgeekever got closest with his midnight prediction. He predicted 3.5m.

[narniadis]

We need to see the Thursday / Friday numbers before we call out really low final totals but I wouldn't be shocked particularly if wom is putrid.

[GiantCALBears]

Todd Phillips & co are bums, I really hope this tanks so no one gets any backend $$$

Hopefully between this and Star Trek, movie studios put an end to changing release dates to Thursday at the last minute.

True but that's well over 70% drop from TH2. I remember that being in double digits. Noway to spin this, this number is bad.
