All I can say is this is mostly wrong.  The numbers I used did not include any of Thursday's grosses.  I know better than that.  Also the data involved a "sample" of theatres if by sample you mean a total of 3,600 theatres or more.  That is, it was the vast majority of total theatres that have the ability to report grosses.

It's amusing that asking for likes usually nets you 5+

No.

Well that hurts. and I don't want to take your abuse anymore. & I know I don't want to take you or your luggage to the airport.

The things we do for likes.

This will probably go down as a top #5 weekend thread.  It's huge!

Rth vs. Spatula. Hell in a cell.

67% drop for X-MEN.

Is Halle's ego still that big? She seemed eager to come back this time even though her role was gonna be small from the start. The years of disappointing box office numbers probably softened her

She negotiated for fifth billing despite having maybe 5 lines.

It'll take like, 5 shitty summers in a row to make hollywood re-evaluate anything.

But, I thought DOFP was supposed to be the anti-Hollywood block buster movie that we should all be embracing, and if it's going to be doing the same kind of numbers that the despised Spider-Man is doing, then what exactly is Hollywood learning?

Shit is getting real...

the lesson shouldnt be coming from DOFP, but the fact that spider-man will end up below DOFP...

This is so exciting, it's like watching:

 

 

2 box office titans with different ideologies for accomplishing the same task.

Well look who's back!

If Transformers only opens to around 90m like most of these May movies, no live action film will beat CA2. Just crazy.

I'm fine with that. CA2 was just that much more awesome in my opinion.

 

But I am expecting record breaking numbers for the next Hunger Games movie, and maybe even Hobbit 3.

 

Who knows, maybe the little movie called Guardians of the Galaxy might break out bigger than we all thought.

Nah it would probably be pretty hot and steamy if this thread (http://forums.boxoffice.com/index.php?/topic/1149-hot-guys-nsfw-reopened-but-still-working-on-rules/page-73) is any indication.
