ACCA Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 you dont just add drops. if a film drops 50% on consecutive days overall drop is not 100% but just 75%. So its not a good comparison. Monday drop is anyway nothing to do with thursday number which was anyway Walmart money and not exactly tickets sold. What do you mean "Walmart money"? WB still made money selling tickets to Walmart at the end of the day. Anyways, I did rough numbers to prove how GOOD the drop is comparing it to TS3. Using your exact method, yes TS3 has a better hold but not by a large amount, and considering it's a more family friendly film it evens things out with MOS. Not sure what your point is exactly.

keysersoze123 Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 His point was that Man of Steel had a good Monday drop. Simple. Its a good drop not great. Good way to look at it is look at saturday to monday drop since sunday drop was skewed because of father's day. True test is looking at Monday to Thursday drop. I think MOS will drop hard on wednesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what your point is exactly. walmart buying tickets does not burn demand. If the movie actually sold 12M worth of tickets(walmart supposedly paid higher than normal ticket price) to movie goers we can consider that as burnt demand. Anyway thursday previews have nothing to do with monday drop. Anyway I am not saying drop is bad. Its ok and real test will be on wednesday.

ACCA Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Yes, we shall see how it holds throughout the week. That will certainly be a big test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Craig Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Considering I make it to the movies 4 or 5 times a year at best, I'm astounded people have the time to see the same film multiple times. What stops you from only going 4-5 times a year? It's not cause there are only 4-5 films worth seeing each year. And don't say "a life" or something equally silly. We all do more than "just see movies" as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wileECoyote Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Thats a pretty good hold for NYSM, 58% drop. This movie looks like it's doing its own thing and haven't been affected much by competitions.How's that drop for TITE? I don't remember its Sun number.Yup definitely encouraged that its holding its own very nicely. TiTE and NYSM were MoS counter-programming and maybe there was a chance TiTE could eat into that audience too much. Looks like there's enough room for both! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#ED Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 I'm still confused why we're even comparing a complete kids movies to MoS. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddevil18 Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Yeah, after TASM I've become a lot more cautious when it comes to the box office of reboots. And if it doesn't reach the $300m mark, I feel like TASM was a lesson that should be learned by everyone: these films are to estabilish a new take on old characters, not break box office records. The fact that both films did with their runs are just a bonus. Do you actually know of any other movies except for TASM? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddevil18 Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 I'm still confused why we're even comparing a complete kids movies to MoS. I guess because it was the previous record holder? Still not a valid comparison, but... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wileECoyote Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 (edited) I'm still confused why we're even comparing a complete kids movies to MoS.True but they opened around the same time of month and both big blockbusters with strong appeal to those out of school. And TS3 is not just a kids movie. Edited June 18, 2013 by WileECoyote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 I'm still confused why we're even comparing a complete kids movies to MoS. It's not a fair comparison I agree. But TS3 is definitely not a complete kid movies. It wouldn't get to 400M if it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ACCA Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 I'm still confused why we're even comparing a complete kids movies to MoS. Only reason is using TS3 as a goal legs-wise. I agree they're different films and can't be compared, but TS3 drops are interesting to compare against even though MOS can't match it. It's interesting to see how close MOS will manage to TS3 drops and holds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
