32231873m. Give or take

[rockNrollaDIM]

a giant embarrassing drop this weekend was from Madea. haha

 

Yes but TH2 drop is big and embarrasing any way you cut it. 37m OD ---> 32m OD... for a SEQUEL? Somebody explain to me how that's a win?

Decent opening. Friday number may seem significantly lower than AUJ at first glance, but if you take out midnights, Friday business was only a million or so behind. Also, the lower midnight/Friday ratio suggests that it may be less frontloaded than AUJ and hence could show a better jump on Saturday. AUJ had 15% jump on from Friday day business. A 20% jump is not out of cards, which would actually take the Saturday number over AUJ's.A 80m+ opening and 300m+ total is still within reach, given the better reviews.

Ewww it did average business.

Take away midnights and the difference is less than a million.

[lab276]

That's pretty disappointing for Madea.

Yeah I wouldn't rule out a surprise like that, but not expecting it either.  I just got back and it is definitely a stronger movie than AUJ.

So after spending 30 minutes looking for MY LOTR DVD's I realized my ex wife kept them.  

 

I'm now putting on Revenge of the Sith.  I might not go to bed now.  It's 4:20, not tired anymore.

[rockNrollaDIM]

Whatever. This movie is on with Dustin Hoffman and Morgan Freeman. Two fuckin legends!

Wow, that sucks. You didn't even know that you didn't get custody of the LOTR DVDs.

[yjs]

75/280 seems more plausible I think. reviews are better but it's not crazy good enough either to convince GA to go see a 3 hr long sequel from an okay predecessor.

No.  I remember now of course.  But I have about 500 DVD's.  She tried to keep the SW dVD's and Matrix as well.  I took those two and left her the LOTR EEs.  The sad thing is they are just decoration to her.  She'll never watch them.

Okay, well, that sucks. LOTR DVDs should not be used as decorations.

Saw that AH number. Thought it locked up points for me, then I checked and saw Tele put 98k 

 

(Ed put under 3k. lmao man)

[MovieMan89]

So stoked it ended up on the high end of RTH's range! With a 75m-ish OW it may not fall too short of AUJ in the long run. If you take out the extra $4m AUJ made at midnight, it did practically identical OD business.

Saturday will see a jump over friday minus midnights. 25-28m. 76m / 80m is where it will land.

If it hits 80m for OW than AUJ's total is going down.

[Halba]
