well before probably by wednesday

[Robertron]

Very strong start, we were really busy saturday/sunday.

It just did not catch on whatsoever at my work.On sunday, Avengers did, in it's 3.30pm session, more than Prometheus had done all day (about 6 sessions prior to 3.30pm)

And The Avengers is now Number 4 All Time.Should be taking down Potter by next Wednesday and then the long treacherous journey to Titanic and beyond.

[lab276]

What's amazing is that it's still in the top 5 after seven weeks! How often has that happened since the 90's?

[Totem]

Prometheus posting some pretty damn good numbers.

[kayumanggi]

Good. I hope it's reflected in N. America.

[Rthmessiah]

OK. I'll probably go see it on Thursday night anyway. Just seems weird what they're doing in the UK.Update:Midnights at IMAX Sydney.http://www.imax.com....KR_Sessions.pdf

Prometheus had the 3rd biggest opening of 2012 - not too shabby. America seems to be the only major market where it underperformed so far.

I wonder what will have promo's during State of Origin tonight. TASM or TDKR?Actually, neither. Ice Age 4 has paid the big bucks.

Update time!

It's time to update this....

HP8 vs TA

1: 18.4m/25.5m vs 13m/19m

2: 8m/38.7m vs 8.2m/31.1m

3: 3.8m/44.5m vs 5.2m/39.0m

4:2.3m/47.8m vs 3.5m/43.9m

5:1.3m/49.7m vs 2.3m/47.0m

6:757k/50.8m vs 1.8m/49.3m

7:445k/51.5m vs 1.3m/51.0m

8:279k/51.9m

9:176k/52.1m

10:92k/52.4m

FINAL: 52.6m vs 51.6m

As expected even in the face of a massive opening from Prometheus, The Avengers held very well and is about to pass Harry Potter 8 Part 2 Final total.

Projections:

8: 730k/52.4m

9: 460k/53.2m (start holidays)

10: 400k/53.9m

11: 410k/54.7m

12: 320k/55.2m

13: 140k/55.5m

14: 100k/55.6m

15: 60k/55.7m

Final ~ 56.0m

Looking at this now, Titanic is almost definantly out of reach. even the most optimistic will struggle to get closer. either way a good result though!

MIB Showdown

1* vs 2 vs 3

1: 6.2m/6.6m vs 5.4m/6.4m vs 5.0m/5.0m

2: 3.7m/11.8m vs 2.9m/11.9m vs 3.6m/10.0m

3: 2.1m/15.4m vs 1.6m/14.7m vs 2.2m/13.1m

4: 2.2m/18.1m vs 711k/15.8m

5: 1.0m/20.9m vs 516k/16.5m

TOTAL:22.8m vs 17.6m vs 14.1m

I was hoping for a little more this weekend just gone but it still performed strongly.

MIB3 Projections:

5: 1.3m/15.4m

6: 770k/16.7m (holidays start)

7: 550k/17.5m

8: 490k/18.2m

9: 300k/18.7m

10: 150k/18.9m

TOTAL (projection) = 20.0m

As i suspected we might from last week's optimistic holds, we dropped off the 20m pace a little though it's still in range, I have a feeling this will yet another film here that will wind in that elusive 19m range. Still not a bad result given it's on pace for a result between the 1st and 2nd films (way behind both films in attendance of course) and better than the US result.
