Weekend numbers: Ca2 41.4M, Oculus 12M, draft day 9.75M, Raid 2 1M

[a2k]

Not quite. Thor and Thor 2 jumped 66% and 59% respectively.

 

Thor 2 was November..It jumped 59% and dropped 44.5% on Sunday - so didn't use it in my calc

Thor did have an IM3 like Sat jump in May.

CA2's 159.7% jump is similar to IM3's 159.1%.

If it plays out similarly over the weekend, it will make:

11.9

19.35 (+62.6%)

12.54 (-35.2%)

43.79m

 

Why is the weekend estimate capped at 42m..is it because the 62.6% Saturday jump is out of reach?

Avengers, IM1 and IM2 Saturday jumps were actually smaller - 46.8%, 49.7% and 43.7%

 

IM3 would be an anomaly then for some reason..

 

 

because Cap 2 doesn't seem to be playing as a family film as much. Also, Rio 2 can take the Saturday family crowds

[TalismanRing]

Not surprisingly, the bigger the Thursday contributes mightily toward the bigger second Friday drop:

 

Iron Man 1: 1.5m Thur midnights (57.8%)

Thor 2: 7m Thursday (67%)

Iron Man 2: 7.5m Thursday (70.5)

Cap 2: 10.m Thursday (67.8%)

Iron Man 3: 15m Thursday (71.4%)

But you don't know if it is or not until you see the Saturday bump.  

[Mulder]

Very narrow defeat then. I wonder if this'll keep up for the rest of the weekend or if Rio 2 was just slightly frontloaded.

I am just theorizing why people seem to be projecting a lower Saturday bump

Cap1 didnt pass 400M? wow.

Cap1 didnt pass 400M? wow.

 

It did relatively well considering that it was released after the tiny film called HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS ll.

Any idea how much Cap 2 grossed in IMAX? I have seen that the IMAX 3D showings have been pretty full throughout its run so far. But it will be losing all those screens to Transcendence next week - that will not help a lot with the drop if the IMAX 3D share has been high.

That's not that great for Oculus, is it? 

[BadAtGender]

So, for another day, Frozen is still the second highest grossing film in 2014.

[CaptainJackSparrow]

'tis a shame, you all should see it, it's a heartbreaking creepy suspenseful film. It kept me entertained throughout the entire film.

[A Marvel Fanboy]

It seems none of the horrors in 2014 has  broken out so far. May be a down year for the genre.

[rainbowtrout]

All the local sports talk radio hosts here in Milwaukee were given free tickets to a screening of Draft Day and were promo-ing the heck out of the film.  Then they saw it and all said it was "meh" and predictable.

Hopefully The Quiet Ones will change that.

Five new releases debuted in the top 10 on this weekend ten years ago: Johnson Family Vacation, The Alamo, The Whole Ten Yards, Ella Enchanted and The Girl Next Door.

That's a weekend.

If Cap somehow manages to drop less than 60% this weekend, that means it will drop less than the first one did despite opening much larger. That is a good thing and that's what I'm going to tell myself as I cry myself to sleep every night wondering why it isn't making more.

part of that reason though is summer vs spring so Cap 1 had a lot more business done on weekdays.
