Nov 22-24 #s CF: $158,074,286 actual | Dark Knight triumphant after all

[Spidey Freak]

TDKR > any Marvel movie 

 

[Vince James Rogers]

No, it will end up around 155-160, compared to IM3's 174.1. However, it almost certainly beat IM3's attendance.

beat IM3's attendance.

 

 

what does that mean?

[Ariadne]

Take Thor 2, X1 and TIH off that list and I'm with you.

Thor 2 stays.

[ecstasy]

beat IM3's attendance.

 

 

what does that mean?

 

sold more tickets.

[iceroll]

beat IM3's attendance.

 

 

what does that mean?

IM3 had 3D prices boosting the cost of each ticket.  Catching Fire could earn less money bust still sell more tickets.

[Kvikk Lunsj]

Except for Avengers, Spider-Man 1 and 2, Iron Man, Thor: The Dark World, The Incredible Hulk, X-Men: 1, 2, and First Class 

 

But on a different not, 52m is very satisfying to see. Hopefully 2D record falls as well.

most of those are average movies. First Class is the only good one

LOL not each ticket. A certain percentage of tickets.

[Accursed Arachnid!™]

Thor 2 stays.

 

 

You like it that much? Or you dislike TDKR that much? I like it a lot, but Thor 2 gets pretty silly in places for me.

[Kvikk Lunsj]

beat IM3's attendance.

 

 

what does that mean?

More people saw Catching Fire on its OW than Iron Man 3. Iron Man 3 has a higher number because it was in 3D. 

[Gokai Red]

 

 

I want to say that it did, but I'm not sure what the breakdown for IM3 is. If I take 15% off (the usual amount people use when adjusting for 3D), I get 151.4, which is too close for me to say without a shadow of a doubt. I'm 95% confident that CF's OW attendance was better than IM3's, but I won't be the one that says it was until someone with more experience says so.

A bit of both. I loved Thor 2 - did not expect to love it that much. Obviously, Loki made the film. TDKR was a huge disappointment.

[JohnnY]

Wow, and yesterday we were all crying about a low 60s opening.

[Claire of Themyscira]

Sat CF looking around 52-53m

[Kvikk Lunsj]

It needs to drop less than 28% to steal the 2D record from TDKR. 

 

THG dropped 31%. I think it comes up 158-159.

Lionsgate will fudge it. They will won't the positive press. 

[Vince James Rogers]

TDKR is crappier than Catwoman itself

[ecstasy]

Alright my work is done here. Good night. And here's to a  great Sunday hold.

Still waiting for a film to blow away the 22+ million tickets (I think it was 22) of Avengers, TDK & Spider-man 3 ... just doesn't seem like it will happen anytime soon ... I don't see TA2 doing so, maybe equaling it.

Average? They are all bad. Except for First Class.
