As excited as I am for this number, keep in mind that Tuesdays have changed a lot since 2009. So a 12% jump is great but it is not quite completely unexpected. If it can jump 32-35% today then it is doing better than NM. Having said that, it's a fantastic number. :)

I remember DH1's Tuesday number being released and everyone saying it would have a good drop. Calm down. People always go on a high when the first initial numbers come in (DH2's Monday, Star Trek's Monday, etc).

No one's being unrealistic Debbie Downer, it's just that when you compare this to NM's first Tuesday, it did better. So that's the cause for excitement. With this being the Thanksgiving week in the US, the numbers are a little different.

I think Noctis was basically just making the same point that you did in your previous post: it's just one number and things are a bit different than they were even two years ago, so even though it is a good number, don't read too much into it.And I think the other numbers that have since been posted bear out that this increase may not mean as much as it would first appear. Looking at the top 10 movies, this year there were five, that's half of the top 10, with increases of over 40% compared to only two in 2009 (though, admittedly, nothing this year was up over 50% as A Christmas Carol was two years ago). Of the top 10 this year, only BD1 increased less than 25% and Immortals was the only other top 10 movie with a less than 30% increase; in 2009, three of the top 10 increased less than 25% and another two increased between 25% and 30%, so fully half of the top 10 increased less than 30% in 2009. Since the Tuesday increases this year are larger overall, it should be no great surprise that BD1 saw a bigger increase than NM did.I'm not trying to downplay BD1's number, which was indeed very nice. But as you yourself pointed out, it's not totally unexpected. And as both you and Noctis indicated, we shouldn't get ahead of ourselves and declare that it will have better legs than NM on the basis of this one number.
