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

[LexJoker]

In just about an hour yesterday, we got the midnight preview numbers. Oh, the wait.

[Lordmandeep]

National holiday, so a bit misleading.

 

 

27 million on a 6th day after burning off 150 million in 2004 dollars shows how big Spider Man 2 would have opened to over a normal 3 day weekend.

I really dont want to sound like a broken record but I really don't see this as a disappointment at all. I see it as another film that drops from its first film just like many other films in history. Empire Temple Jaws 2 Superman Rocky Back 2 the Future Potter Spidey.

Stop making sense

Like I said, it would have been around $120m. Record-breaking, but not destroying the record like SM1 did.

Still not 11M.

Still not 11M.

 

I never said it was 11m. That was someone else.

[Lordmandeep]

I disagree the opening let it be more backloaded

 

Business in early may would have been more focused. 

[theultimatebiu]

I was gone all of Friday so I missed the chaos. Can anyone summarize?

 

Thought for sure that CF would do 160m+. :/

 

It was following BD1 pattern

denial and meltdown

$60-$70m OD inc previews estimate

meltdown

gay porn

more meltdown

low $60's estimate

more exaggerated meltdown

catching fire flop word play

more meltdown

upper $60's estimate

acceptance and depression

I know.

Another interesting thing to note is, it's breaking out over THG in UK and Australia, usually these territories mirror USA but I guess THG was much more of phenomena in US so less room for breakout for CF here.

I dont see this as a disappointment at all its increasing alot internationally do it may make more WW than the first

Which is ultimately a greater success than Spider-man 2 which fell domestic and WW.

but THG were not the 3rd biggest openers of all time though.

That's exactly it.

Germany at the moment is most impressive to me, THG sold 2m overall, CF is opening to about 1.1m.

Europe as a whole including Russia has been mighty impressive.

Good? Bad? I'm curious, really looking forward to this movie.

Yup, a $145m-$150m OW is still pretty damned good. Specially since CF gets to benefit from the Thanksgiving holiday coming up this week.
