Harpospoke Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Who was saying this? I was one of the doubters. I also didn't even consider the other 10,000 big sporting events that day. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jse Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Who was saying this? A lot, especially if you go back to when the fight was announced. At the time maybe upwards of 95% of the forum thought it would have no effect. That number may have gotten smaller as the fight got closer, but i'm not sure. I was even convinced it would barely make a dent, til obviously the day off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadAtGender Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Wondering which movie could make a 100M OD. AoU had everything lined up perfectly for it, no competition, a dead marketplace, amazing goodwill from the first movie, a record number of showtimes which meant that anyone who wanted to watch it could watch it, IMAX, 3D, as many screens as it needed and good though not great reviews. Will be some time before we see a perfect storm of conditions plus movie needed to reach that 100M OD. BvS could do it. The configuration of Easter weekend really leans toward a big Friday, so it could conceivably hit the mark and still not take the weekend record, especially if previews are big. It's unlikely, but it's probably the best case for anything prior to Episode 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cedarpoint1111 Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 TDK - 31.2% TDKR - 30.9% TA - 30.3% DH2 - 28.4% SM3 - 28.3% IM3 - 27.1% THG - 26.3% CF - 26.0% AOU with 187.7/46M Sunday is at 28.7%. If it jumps to a 53M Sunday and 194.7M weekend, it's Sunday share of Fri-Sun gross (weekend minus previews), would be 31.7%. I think man of steel takes the cake for Sunday share of OW. 128.7 minus 12m Thursday Walmart showings and minus 9m Friday midnight showings = 107.6m 36.3m Sunday = 33.7% of ow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecstasy Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Looks like 7-9M higher for Sunday largely thanks to WC. Weekend potentially looking at 194-196M. Well WC owed the debt from yesterday. Don't know if it would get that much but at least its not the disaster it was headed for if it dropped more than 20%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecstasy Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 A bit late But still, thank you LOL I meant to tell you in the other thread but I got side tracked. I just knew it was some time around when the movie opened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kitik Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Total Matinees were higher I wonder if some people remember how many shows sold out for Avengers 1 and said "I'm just not even going to bother on the first Saturday for this one. Maybe Sunday or maybe next weekend." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only listed the 150M openers though, that's why MOS wasn't there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecstasy Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Wonder how much the other movies recovered today, there is a chance something like Furious 7 could possible have exceeded the Saturday take completely since the numbers we are working with are much smaller there. It must have. Rth said it was going way past its 1.3m Sunday estimate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cedarpoint1111 Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 An increase of 5-6m would be great, but 10m? Has a Sunday ever been so underestimated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
