LexJoker Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Rth was so right when he said 8-9 in the TASM2 thread. Why do people still doubt him? And who the hell is 'notfabio'? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Marston Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 With an 80-85 OW, is even a 200 finish a certainty?Should open higher than that Thor 2 number Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jandrew Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Seeing as everyone kept yo-yo-ing with Cap, going from low 80s to $120+ then back to $90M, i'm still sticking with my $105M number. Probably wont happen, but I'm not writing it off yet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FTF Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 I give a massive shit how this run goes. I still hope it finishes under200. Im still bitter at the last one. http://youtu.be/5DHIqUkmj-o 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Marston Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 I hate it when they use stuff like spring break too justify why Captain America opened higher at midnight. If people want to see this movie they will run out and see it. 10 years ago Revenge of the Sith did way more at midnight and that had school in play as well. This spring break thing is an excuse it makes no senseIt would explain why Cap 2 was pretty frontloaded on Friday 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baumer Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 It has no effect on die hard fans, but some statistics are all about the margins. If you have the day off school next day and you're mildly excited enough about the movie, you'll still potentially go see it at midnight. But if you're on the fence about midnights and you have to wake up at 7 the next day, you'll ultimately decide to skip it until Friday. That's the difference. That one million or so worth of people that are on the fence. The margin. Were there midnights? Or was it just early showings on Thursday? My city doesn't have midnights anymore and I don't think Toronto does either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Rth was so right when he said 8-9 in the TASM2 thread. Why do people still doubt him? And who the hell is 'notfabio'? He's legit. He runs or owns a chain of theaters somewhere in the US. So his assertion that his numbers were 15% higher than Caps, was true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not midnights, but 7,8, 9 and 10s. 8 is early enough, granted, but nine and ten is still late if you have to get up early the next morning. You won't get home till 1.

Ezen Baklattan Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 I think that Spider Man plays more to families than Captain America. I think that a $100m weekend could still be in play. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Accursed Arachnid!™ Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Anyway, as has been said hundreds, maybe thousands of times on here, previews and midnights can only be used to gauge a film's general anticipation level, not its specific anticipation level. All that can be said is 8.7m is in line with past 1st week of May SH blockbusters. Patience. I think 100m is still well within reasonable expectations. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You won't get home till 1. And it also started earlier than Cap did. Cap had 8pms and ASM had 7's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
