AniNate Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 (edited) The fight plus the Derby has, what, 50 million people gathering to watch? If just 2% of them decided to watch AoU instead, that's almost $15 million in lost revenue for opening weekend. Would have broken OW, but too bad. How do you know all those people wouldn't have just seen it yesterday or waited till Sunday? Edited May 3, 2015 by tribefan695 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ecstasy Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 (edited) The fight started around 8pm on the west coast, and with most ppl gathering up to 3 hours before, plus the Spurs Vs. Clippers playing earlier, AOU's daytime screening was definitely effected. Sure but you don't know by how much. It's not like everybody that gathered for the fight was going to see the Avengers. Out 7 people in my house watching the game only 3 people including me has any interest whatsoever in seeing the Avengers. I saw it on Thursday and the other 2 saw it on Friday.

Dementeleus Posted May 3, 2015 Author Share Posted May 3, 2015 I went to the Arclight Sherman Oaks tonight. It was busy, but not significantly so. Seemed like a pretty typical Saturday night, no major lines (not even for concessions). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, Arclight concessions suck, so no wonder there were no major lines 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cory Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 (edited) If this were a DC movie then I'd be more bullish about the Sunday drop being softer, but it's going to be hard for AoU to match TA1's -18%. Definitely better than IM3's -30% though. Edited May 3, 2015 by cory 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
washderice Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 ya ive never been a boxing fan and after that im still not.

Definitely better than IM3's -30% though. Definitely wouldn't say definitely. A drop a little higher than IM3's is certainly possible And I don't know what DC vs Marvel has to do with Sunday drops. Man of Steel had a soft drop cuz of a holiday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

washderice Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 MMA is better than this.. yeah im an mma fan, i much more enjoy the more exponential amount of strategy then with boxing. as i said, ive never been a boxing fan, and maybe i just dont understand it, but that was super boring, the whole time i was thinking mayweather isnt even doing anything, yet won the fight unanimously and seemingly comfortably? yup, just not for me.

MrPink Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 TDK and TDKR didn't have holidays and were under 10.5% Well it helps when you're balls deep into Summer and you're getting a lot of spillover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
