Noctis Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Why are people having orgasms over a $1.1m midnight debut for IM4? Jesus, calm down. It was also bolstered by TDKR's prologue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gopher Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Was it really boosted by six minutes of movie? The prologue was playing at 70 out of 425 theaters. At that point I feel like many who were desperate to see the prologue caught a preview show earlier this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That wasn't available earlier this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baumer Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Yes Noctis, we are all excited about a film in 425 theaters doing 1.1 mill at midnight. That's quite the per theater average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GiantCALBears Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Interesting starts for both, SH2 I think has 50M in the bag which has to be considered a success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichWS Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 I predicted $51M for Sherlock, and I'm already starting to think that was at least $5M too high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tracygee Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Variety's predicts for the weekend: Early B.O.: 'Sherlock Holmes' on track to win in $40s 'Mission: Impossible' large-format-only bow tracking to impressive $11m By RACHEL ABRAMS Box office pundits are projecting Warner Bros.' "Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows" to gross between $14 million and $15 million in the U.S. on Friday, putting it on track to win the weekend with a three-day total in the low-to-mid $40 million range. The Friday take alone could pop with evening auds, especially because it's the last schoolday before holiday break for many families. Meanwhile, 20th Century Fox toon "Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked" will likely rank second, with observers putting the family film's Friday take at around $10 million, putting it on course for a $30 million three-day gross. More reserved estimations, however, peg the pic's weekend take slightly lower. Par's "Mission: Impossible -- Ghost Protocol" is also opening today -- but exclusively on large-format screens (425 of them, most of which are IMAX) a week before its wide release. Though box office observers stress the difficulty in predicting this first-ever large-format-only release, the Tom Cruise pic was on pace to earn an impressive $11 million-plus for the weekend, perhaps in part because a seven-minute prologue to "The Dark Knight Rises" will play in front of it. B.O. watchers estimate that Par holdover "Young Adult" will earn shy of $3 million for the weekend, while WB's holdover "New Year's Eve" is looking to take in around $7 million, at most, pushing it over $20 million gross for two weekends. Fox's "The Sitter" is poised to earn under $5 million. Under $50m for SH would be...unimpressive, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Marston Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 40s would be very weak for SH. If this had been the first Sherlock, that would be fine, but the sequel? That's bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CloneWars Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Was it really boosted by six minutes of movie? The prologue was playing at 70 out of 425 theaters. At that point I feel like many who were desperate to see the prologue caught a preview show earlier this week. Many, many people didn't get a chance to see the preview show that wanted to. First, it was only at 36 theaters. Second, most of the tickets went by fast. Third, many people didn't know they had a Tuesday sneak preview.
