a2k Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 I think NF, Variety and THR start with mid-friday estimates based on early tracking and wine. Then follow up late night with "real" estimates. DHD and Rth (god bless) directly give the final estimates late in the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deadline has a reputation to uphold. They're all about credible and accurate reporting you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Accursed Arachnid!™ Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 The number isn't the problem, it's the jump.SM1 got to that $19.5 by jumping 166.6% which is nowhere near this crazy 220% or whatever. Yes, but SM1 didn't drop 90% of its business by its 7th day. It was more like 80% for it(basically double the hold of TASM2's first Thurs). It was already performing at a high level so it didn't have as far to increase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TalismanRing Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Ahh, Trading Places. Only you and Gene Wilder could do black face and not offend me. I'd add Tropic of Thunder - an actual R rated comedy from the 00s that made me laugh and mostly because of RDJ in black face. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Accursed Arachnid!™ Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 (edited) 11.5m would still be nearly a 70% decrease from OD. SM1 dropped less than 50%. Daily percentage changes must always be looked at from a contextual POV. Edited May 10, 2014 by Accursed Arachnid!™ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecstasy Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Deadline doesn't report anything on Fridays before 1:00-2:00 am est. Now that I think about it you're probably. Nikki used to give early reports but yeah they've gotten later since she left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Accursed Arachnid!™ Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 You have to take out that 8.7m in previews. Spider-Man had huge midnight shows that they just lumped into Friday. They accommodated excess demand by adding early morning shows. I know because I went to one. 115m was not an easy accomplishment in 2002. The 8.7m is not something you can just toss out of the equation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They even asked nicely in their article earlier. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in the case of ASM2 there wasn't any accommodated excess demand. There's nothing about these two films and their performance so far that's equatable except that they star Spider-man.
