John Marston Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 FIVE EXTRA HOURS That means...if it were released at midnights (like normal films), then it would have done below TA1's OD!!!!!! it doesn't seem any film has had a proper midnight only release since 2013 began. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grim22 Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 No media outlet has a clue. It's astonishing that after all these years, they don't put the effort in for decent extrapolations, or better yet, make public the data they're extrapolating from. We could give a more precise projection/range if we were given Matinee gross. To be fair, with number as high as 60M OD, even a tiny bit being off in modeling can lead to a very huge range. it doesn't seem any film has had a proper midnight only release since 2013 began. Hobbit 2 did IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, as usual these numbers are usually more like darts until Rth comes along Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 That would be great number It would be, but at the same time, unlike IM3 and TA, where the previews accounted for around 22% of the OD, here they would accound for around 32%. That quite a bit more frontloaded and gives us a clue about the weekend as a whole. Anyway, let's see if the 87M figure holds first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fmpro Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 (edited) 87m. Higher than the first and not a good number? Its a good number. But with a much higher thursday it means lower friday.. And thats not good Edited May 1, 2015 by fmpro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neo Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 27M 98M 72M 57M (-20.9%) 227M OW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deep Wang Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 You guys are acting like the day is over already! $87m, eh? Not able to top DH2's $91m despite FIVE HOURS of extra showings. There's something about counting chickens... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 What time does Rth usually come around during these big weekends? Maybe we should start on sacrificial ceremony to summon him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, Hobbit 2 was 2013. Oh I see, he said BEGAN. Well, close enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAR Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 If John Marston seems to like the number, then the number is good enough for me. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dementeleus Posted May 1, 2015 Author Share Posted May 1, 2015 87m. Higher than the first and not a good number? Not great because of the increased frontloading. I mean, of course it's a solid, good number... but if it holds what it means is that TA2 is barely keeping pace despite being a sequel and 3 years of inflation and a wider IMAX release. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#ED Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 This coming from someone who said he really liked the movie, but it's not a good movie as you put it.. Yeah, it's ok the like movies that aren't good... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Marston Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 I wouldn't be surprised if Jurassic World and SW7 have midnight only releases since the directors might prefer it that way since it feels more traditional Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfirebird2008 Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 A 1:30pm prediction of 87M can actually mean a swing of 10% in either direction if the modeling is even slightly off. Will be interesting to see how the numbers evolve over the rest of the day. In the case of TA1 they were off by close to 25%. Not saying it will happen again, but if it does TA2 is going over $100m by the end of the night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deep Wang Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Now up to 98M. To be fair, I'm not going to believe that one either. Like I said, the day is pretty fucking far from over. I'm just sad I'm going to miss all the shenanigans when I go into work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it doesn't mean that. They would've packed a lot of showtimes into the post-midnight slot (a la TDKR). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynosure Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 (edited) So for the 98M number it's not 'too early' ? Edited May 1, 2015 by Cynosure 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
