baumer Posted November 21, 2011 Author Share Posted November 21, 2011 So a $12m drop from New Moon's adjusted opening.$150m vs $138mYes, an 8% drop. Quite good for a fourth film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spizzer Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 This actually had a better Adjusted IM than New Moon did, by virtue of the strong Saturday hold. New Moon had a 2.51 IM for the non-midnight weekend, while this did 2.61 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovex Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 That's because Twilight movies don't get bad wom. Thats because if a Twilight movie was just the actors sitting in a chair making baby noises for 90 mins the Twihards would still love it. Its so unsophisticated and boring everyone who would bad mouth stays away.Very glad it went down. Shame the 138 million isnt 138 thousand, but cant have everything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLK Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 (edited) Next 2-3 days will give us a better idea of where it will end up. If it has softer drops over thanksgiving it may end up in the same range as New Moon and Eclipse. It's sunday drop was slightly better than New Moon's and depending on Midnight numbers, its Saturday drop may have been better too.

GiantCALBears Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 still a lot of chedda... $138M is nothing to look past, although it will be the highlight of this and BD2 (meaning OW)time for the drops now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Moon had a 2.51 IM for the non-midnight weekend, while this did 2.61Lolol are you kidding? "Strong" is the last word in the world that you should use to describe this movie's Saturday hold. And the "adjusted IM" thing doesn't bode any good for the movie. All it means is that it burned up more demand at midnight than NM did--which is a BAD thing if you're trying to judge how good BD's legs will be. This movie is going to drop like a rock. And at this point, even a 2x multiplier won't even get it to 280. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Films don't make 30 mill at midnight and then drop 5% the next day. That is ridiculous and it is also impossible. You can go look at all the historical data out there and any film that made anything over 10 mill at midnight dropped significantly the next day.

Founder / Operator Shawn Robbins Posted November 21, 2011 Founder / Operator Share Posted November 21, 2011 Not even paying attention to the conversation, but I'm just wondering what your prediction was B?(And yes, I agree, the Saturday hold is anything but bad compared to the proper context.)

The fact that it broke 40, despite burning off all of that demand, is IMO a strong hold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
