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

[Jandrew]

When was the last time a blockbuster increased on a Sunday?Everyone relax. I'm sure RTH will have a better number in about 3 hours lolEither way Sunday is getting past 32.7M.

 

My guess is Valentines Day from 2010, but that was because that Sunday was Valentines Day.

Just got home from work. There were definitely a lot of fathers and sons going to MOS today at my theater.

[ecstasy]

yeah I'm good. Technically SM still has the record for the highest OW for the first live action outing of a superhero.  Meaningless record, I know. 

 

Actually that's huge to me. I remember the Saturday clearly driving around Ontario Mills trying to find a parking space at the AMC 30. Had to park 1/2 a mile away. There will never be another experience like that. It was huge!

[narniadis]

Awesome if that number can hold, would love to see it be on the 37m side of things....

With all this talk of SM1, let's take a look back:

Brandon Gray was a much better box office analyst than Ray Subers.

Ray Subers was way off this week.

It would be nice if the overall weekend made it over 200m. That increase for MOS would just about do it as long as nothing else goes down.

[Rthmessiah]

37M would be an increase!Holy ShitRTH, how are "night viewings" holding up? I assume you have East Coast info only.

Quite well, overall lot of markets are up

No need for "spin" control from Sony. Spider-Man shattered every opening record on the books with an unprecedented $114.8 million weekend. Never before in Hollywood history has a movie grossed over $100 million in its first three days, not even when taking ticket price inflation into account. To put that figure into further perspective, uber-blockbusters Stars Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace and Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone took 5 days to hit that mark.

 

Totally forgot about that.

I do love this part:

Thinking about it that way is the most incredible thing to me.

NYSM's going up as well.

And there is a record it will never lose. First movie to make $100m opening weekend.

So true 

[Sam]

I think we'll see increases from estimates across the board. Maybe not for Purge, or THO3 though.

[John Marston]

Rth, how are numbers for Fast and Furious 6 and Star Trek Into Darkness

[Sam]

And there is a record it will never lose. First movie to make $100m opening weekend.

SM3 is first ever to hit 150M too, right? That went downhill fast

Yep. Kinda crazy to think about. It took so many years to get a $100m OW, and only a decade later there was a $200m OW
