IM3 Theater Count starting Friday: 3,424

 

Thanks! I just asked about this in the IM3 thread.

[Jim Shorts]

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

 

[ecstasy]

Hangover 3 still has interest. I think it will do 80m or more for the 5 day. Maybe even 90m.

FF6 now has a clear path to break out. Flopover + STID falling like a rock during the weekdays (I don`t see why it would be a big weekend player since it doesn`t appeal to young and families).

WE DONT NEED NO WATER, LET THE MOTHERFUCKER BURN

Everybody here we go, OOH OOH

[Lordmandeep]

Here in Canada theaters are smart and have more shhowtimes for fast six

[CJohn]

3.1M sounds bad to me. Quite bad. I assume we will get Thursday numbers soon.

Most films would sacrifice a goat just to have that many for OW, let alone in your 4th weekend!!

 

Sitting at $345m and ready to push past $350m on Friday!!

I just picked a random city, and typed in Boise, ID into fandango. For Saturday, it looks like STID has twice as many showtimes as F&F6. That's insane!

STID hasn't fallen like a rock during weekdays. It's actually had solid holds.

Because Victoria Day inflated Monday.

That's a bigger TC drop than I expected. 20% is steep. In comparison TA only dropped by 8%.

[Poseidon]

Because Victoria Day inflated Monday.

No, it has the same Sun-Wed hold "Thor" had, and way better Hold than Iron man 3.

 

Original Star Trek held slightly better though, but not much.

[Shawn Robbins]

Because Victoria Day inflated Monday.

 

Not by any significant margin. If it did, drops for the past two days would have shown it. Film may have opened under expectations, but it's some serious spin to say its "dropping like a rock". I'm not sure that's even spin... it's just not correct.

So that means wom is good right? Anyway seeing ST tonight, I should see in Imax 3D rathan than 3d since filmed in Imax cameras right? And I didnt care for ST09, stopped watching after 50 minutes.(not enough action). Wil I like this?

Fast 6 theater count: 3,658

Seems pretty low, Fast 5 had 3,644. I thought this would hit 3,800.

Well, it's definitely not bad. The hold this weekend will give the best indication of WOM, though the competition won't help.

 

Seems pretty low, Fast 5 had 3,644. I thought this would hit 3,800. 

 

Still, not a bad figure considering Fast 5 opened in an empty market.

And I didnt care for ST09, stopped watching after 50 minutes.(not enough action).

Really? What is your attention span, like 5 mins?
