GiantCALBears Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 It could top DH2 OD and still come in short of 207M. Ed, the decrease in Friday day business as a % of overall Friday including Thursday previews from TA1 would support this viewpoint. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJohn Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 I'd rather have the OD at this point. Good God, you really wanna see Noctis set fire to this place with the whole EXTRA FIVE HOURS thing, don't you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddyxx Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Is it me or has Noctis just been crazy since Furious Seven punched Potter in the face and took his lunch money. Or is he always like that? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noctis Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 My post was deleted?! Why?! Is it me or has Noctis just been crazy since Furious Seven punched Potter in the face and took his lunch money. Or is he always like that? Why is everybody here so obsessed with me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmandeep Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 (edited) Give DH2 an extra 5 hours...then yes, it would have done at least $9m. But not THAT much more. DH2 made 43.5 million at midnight but made 48 million through the rest of the day. If it was going to 100+ it had every opportunity to do so. As we seen with TA and Fast six and others, Friday day business can support 50-60+ So stop with historical revisionism.

#ED Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Didn't someone already explain, that OLD Midnights and 7PM+ previews probably had equal amount of showtimes. When TDKR was released at midnight, Empire 25 had at least 25 showtimes between 12-3am while TA2 last night had about 22 showtimes at the Regal across the street from 7PM-3AM. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K1stpierre Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 I don't see an increase for SAT, I think previews soaked it up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OncomingStorm93 Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 "Age of Ultron" Opening Day levels, in terms of other MCU films Opening Weekends: Thor 2: 85m Guardians of the Galaxy: 94m Captain America 2: 95m Iron Man: 98m I'm pulling for an Iron Man kind of day. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkelf Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Good God, you really wanna see Noctis set fire to this place with the whole EXTRA FIVE HOURS thing, don't you?

Poseidon Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Give DH2 an extra 5 hours...then yes, it would have done at least $9m. But not THAT much more. Then explain, why it wasn't able to go close to capacity on Friday, if 5 hours would have changed so much in early shows... Why didn't those 9 million missing come in at friday night instead? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmandeep Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Ed, the decrease in Friday day business as a % of overall Friday including Thursday previews from TA1 would support this viewpoint. However previews have caused smaller declines on Saturday as result. Therefore, both viewpoints are possibile. However look at this way with DH2 opening day a 2.25 weekend multiplier of CF would beat the record. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redfirebird2008 Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Didn't someone already explain, that OLD Midnights and 7PM+ previews probably had equal amount of showtimes. When TDKR was released at midnight, Empire 25 had at least 25 showtimes between 12-3am while TA2 last night had about 22 showtimes at the Regal across the street from 7PM-3AM. Yes, the issue is that the earlier showtimes are still having to split screens with other movies. At midnight they can have all screens play one movie. That said, it is still harder to make that kind of money at midnight because a large chunk of the population will not stay up that late on a work night to do it. Hell even when I was college age and out of school during summer, I never went to a midnight show. I saw a lot of parents with little kids last night at 7:30.
