REVISED Weekend Estimates 6/14--6/16: Man of Steel OW $116.7M($128.7M including WM)

35M OD w/o Walmart?

I think closer to 30m OD w/o walmart. This is June, midnights in June-August months always make up a bigger percentage of OD. TDKR's mid was 28% of its OD. With the same percentage MOS would make 31m OD (minus wal-marts).

Kidding aside about substracting those 12m, you have to recognize this 12m Walmart number fucks up everything for this week end.

This week end number will always be suspicious and fishy.

It's not suspicious in the slightest. They all would have seen the movie anyway

I'm thinking GOF adjusted without the walmart money for Friday. 49 million.

TDKR had a midnight rush and a depressed OD though.

TDKR isn't a fair comparison due to the events of that day.

Expected to be? By who?

Alpha needs a good supply of Charmin. Hes been reaching deep inside his ass for these ridiculous numbers.

Its not fudging. Walmart bought them and sold them to their cutomers. And in what Solomon Grundy world is 9 mill mdnights not good?

 

It's partial fudging as Walmart didn't come close to selling these out. My nephew who works the connection center at the Walmart said they roughly sold 35% tickets of the allotted 300 tickets and rest were given free to the employees.

People keep throwing away these "calculations", but its all bullshit at this point in time, right?

Walmart is going to make the weekend gross less?Newsflash: NO WALMARTS IN NYCNYC is supposed to have 3 theaters in the top 15 this weekend.

[kayumanggi]

Next phase. Haters downplaying the Saturday number. lol

[RichWS]

NYC is supposed to have 3 theaters in the top 15 this weekend.

 

Isn't that every weekend, though?

That means around 100 tickets were sold, so where did the 12M come from?

[Lordmandeep]

Rich that's wrong..Midnight to opening day is 20-25%.

[Dementeleus]

There's no controversy at all, and I'm surprised people are trying to push one. In terms of a Friday total, MOS should be able to clear high 20s/low 30s without Walmart+mids.

A Thursday corporate group sale screening program.

Yeah, that is going to be a big problem. MAJOR FUDGING!

[baumer]

Im signing off. This thread is like the looney tunes.

[CoolioD1]

Maybe I'm just a dumbass, but what the hellll does Walmart have to do with anything?
