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

How much theater chain is getting from Weekend numbers?

I heard studios getting larger share of first weekend gross than

typical screening days. This share will drop as the movie plays into

coming weeks. True?

 

Generally speaking, that's true, but it varies for every major movie and the percentages aren't usually revealed.

Theater/exhibitors getting 40%-50% of gross revenue by ...doing nothing?

They already earn insane margin selling popcorn and people still buy that

fattening stuff.

Go look at Iron Man 3 dailies.  There were 9PM showings on Thursday.

 

I don't recall Disney reporting the numbers separately. Can you provide a quick link?

thanks!

If the midnight number was just nine million that would be outstanding but the fact that it is 21m is incredible

So should we LOL at these experts that proclaim this movie made money while the other lost money?

So Wal-Mart bought $12m worth of tickets. Do we have any idea how many they sold?

 

 

The only number we know for a fact is that the number was less than 100%.

Anything else is pointless speculation.

They were not separated. Thats the point hes making.

Yep less than 100% and more than 0%, that much is known for how much Walmart tickets were sold.

I'm not sure I follow...

I don't get it then.

How could anyone else (namely BOM) separate them if Disney didn't?

This Walmart discussion bores me. I'm going out for a game of basketball.

[zackzack]

Folding 7PM Thu numbers into Friday gross is a little too creative for studios nowadays..

But tickets are tickets.

[ecstasy]

Bottom line: WB counted 12m big ones on Walmart tickets.

 

That figure isn't going anywhere.

[Blankments]

LOL this is sarcasm right? 

 

[Lordmandeep]

Even so those whole Wal Mart thing really is a new thing for the box office perdicting.

 

Now imagine if a film opened to a record due to a wal mart boost...

Nothing ? They exhibite/project the movies.

[DMan7]

Walmart really paid the "price" for that one.

[Lordmandeep]

I wonder if this will happen again.

 

I think the only way to tell is to look at the Sat Drop.

Thanks, that helps. So roughly 30% of the midnight number. That would be roughly $2.7m for Wal-Mart and a preview total of $11.7m. Seems pretty good to me. A lot of people were saying $7mish was more likely.
