Please the people with theater connection, start posting how the movie is doing compared to yesterday's pace to see if we can figure out this early.

Just imagine Uni did something similar to this with RIPD, so it would be called the surprise of the summer, instead the flop of the summer

Google should have bought 20m worth of tickets for The Internship.

Google doesn't need to advertise themselves. They need advertisements come to them.

So, with Friday actuals, if MoS has GL drops (basically bad word of mouth drops, but since MoS is starting from a higher base, these may be realistic), this is how the rest of the weekend should play:

 

Fri: 44.1M 

Sat: 36M (-20%)

Sun: 32M (-10%)

 

Weekend: 112M without Walmart, 124M with Walmart. Of course, we don't know the actual number of tickets sold by Walmart, because those should ideally be included in midnights (the actuals) and recalculated.

Every shwarma outlet in North America should have pooled in together and purchased about 30m worth of Avengers tickets, so that TA could beat Titanic DOM gross.

LOL you guys don't hate the player. Hate the game. WB is at the top of its game right now.

 

Don't hate. Congratulate!

TA taught me about shwarma. It's not every day that a movie teaches you something. And don't lie you message board tough guys....none of you knew what shwarma was either before TA.

Uh, what is up with the Great Gatsby?

To put MoS performance into context, the MoS opening day > GL OW, and MoS OW may be greater than GL's entire run.

If the argument is that Walmart didn't sell all the tickets, them 12M proves it.Walmart had 1M tickets to sell.$9 2D$11 3DAssuming they were 50/50(2D/3D), if Walmart sold all tickets it would be more than 12M...Am I correct? Or has this forum lowered my intelligence in the last 24 hours?

 

Assuming a 50/50 2D/3D ratio, it should only amount to $10M, and in fact the total can't get higher than $11M. From what I gather, you live in NYC so if there are regional differences, your prices for the Walmart tix are probably the highest Walmart charged because you live in a large urban area.

 

 

As i understand it, Walmart was giving buyers of the tickets the option to reserve/pre-order MoS blu-rays. If Walmart did overpay for the tickets @$12M for 1M tix, it seemed like they banked on being able to re-coup some of this money from customers buying the blu-ray when they are released. As well as maybe banking on customers who came in just to buy tickets but also end up impulse-buying other things while they were there.

No Walmarts in NYC, lol

[Dipper]

What will the legs be like for MoS? Saying if it did have a 127 opening (w/ Walmart)

I'm thinking along the lines of 340ish

been eating shawarmas and donors for years. U.K has had them for decades

 

Maybe they are rare in the U.S

but it is still playing in a decent amount of theatres. That doesn't look right

IM3 was not the only movie to experience an Avengers bump. Shwarma sales in the Hollywood area apparently increased 80% after the movie came out...lol

Poor GL, can't catch a break even after 2 years  Well, the fact that its terrible BO performance is mentioned together with MOS is an honor I guess
