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

[#ED]

Isn't that every weekend, though?

Not last weekend.

In terms of a Friday total, MOS should be able to clear high 20s/low 30s without Walmart+mids.

 

Agreed.

 

There's no controversy at all, and I'm surprised people are trying to push one.

 

Walmart should be included. It's the same as any Thrusday previews.

 

It's a ridiculously high number though.

[Lordmandeep]

Its is a bit hard to tell xample lets say a third went unsold..pretty much is a 4 million free boost

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

 

This forum is the looney tunes.

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

Nothing much, only THE BIGGEST BULLSHIT HOAX IN BOX OFFICE HISTORY

I think this guarantees other studios will be going this route for other big time blockbusters.  I could see Barnes and Noble selling tickets for Catching Fire.

Wallmart bought 12m worth of tickets to WB and less than half of Walmart people bought tickets for an actual MOS screening.

 

It is like a Now You See Me magic trick.

Not saying it should not be counted saying messes up weekend projections.

So let me get this straight. People bought 7PM previews at Walmart instead of Fandango, so now 12M should not count towards the OW.Serious logic problems here.

[Plain Old Tele]

Where do we get the "less than half "?It doesn't matter. WB could've sold 1 ticket to the Walmart CEO for $12m and the number would still count.

[druv10]

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

 

WB sold 1M tickets to Walmart so they don't care if Walmart actually sold those tickets or gave them away.

Don't forget, I could see CVS Pharmacy selling tickets for The Hobbit 2.

[Jack Nevada]

You know, to get the average american really interested McDonald's should sell tickets to The Hobbit

[tomknf]

Who cares how many of the tickets Walmart sold? They essentially reselling the tickets.

In MOS thread.

[CoolioD1]

Huh? You can get movie tickets at Walmart now?

[Omario]

people are assuming Walmart didnt sell 'most' of their tickets
