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

[Alpha]

I thought Box Office Mojo always separated 7 pm  previews. Didnt they do that for Trek 2

 

Yes they did. 

[Dementeleus]

But there is no way to measure how many extra tickets were sold/bought by those church people.

 

Warners and Walmart came out and told everyone how much both showings made. They made it super easy for BOM to separate both on their charts.

 

BUT WE DON'T KNOW IF ANY CHURCH-GOERS DIDN'T ACTUALLY USE THEIR TICKETS AND PLUS THEY MIGHT NOT HAVE PAID THE CHURCHES FOR THEM ZOMG.....!

WTF is Mojo doing?  Picking and choosing which "Previews" gross should be added or not.  This is a "Reloaded" fiasco all over again. 

[Biggestgeekever]

They're not consistent. Sometimes they separate pre-10pm shows, sometimes they don't.

They are consistent when the information is given.

 

It'll be fun to come back to this thread if (when?) a film with 9pm or 7pm previews beats Harry Potter's record because of those additional showtimes.

What are you talking about? It's Jesus getting whipped for 90 minutes! Of COURSE all those church people would go see it.

Do the Walmart #s count towards the weekend gross? If so $100m seems assured...

BOM is counting them separately.

Dude, he's getting his as beat for 127 minutes! Thats double the awesome and triple the amazing!

[Mojoguy]

Didn't the Churches buy a bunch of tickets for churchgoers to the first Narnia? But they stopped giving a shit starting with the second movie? I wonder what happened?

Plus not everyone is a chronic Walmart shopper. So many never heard about that promotion anyway.  What Walmart sold or didn't sell really can't be fairly used to gauge universal interest in the film. So whether they sold them all publicly, purposely held some back for employees, or wallpapered their bathrooms, it doesn't really matter. They came to the "counter" as a buying customer and there you go. The public showed up strong without their help at midnight anyway. So demand for Man of Steel is there.

It should but technically boxofficemojo will count it as Thursday.

Fortunately for the BSG, they're included. [right, baumer? *shakes fist*]

[Michael Gary Scott]

Are people really complaining about this number really?

This will become the Friday numbers (and eventually weekend numbers) thread, as other grosses are reported.

[Deathlife]

News outlets are reporting the movie beat Iron man, Batman and Avengers opening midnights.It will be very confusing when people hear that movie's opening figure is below some of the aforementioned movies.

Yup. Rules say all of Thursdays gross will count towards OW.

Early sneaks+midnights did beat IM's, BB's, and AVENGER's early sneaks+midnights. Obviously weekends are a different story.
