Noctis Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Sorry, but AoU needs to top DH2's OD by more than $10m in order for it not to be a fraud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#ED Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Sorry, but AoU needs to top DH2's OD by more than $10m in order for it not to be a fraud. It's not grossing 10M more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spizzer Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 (edited) Sorry, but AoU needs to top DH2's OD by more than $10m in order for it not to be a fraud. More IMO. At 101M there's no way the midnight + Friday business was on par with DH2's. Pre-12AM shows probably make up most of that 25Mish Edited May 1, 2015 by Spizzer - Manav Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTF Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Sorry, but AoU needs to top DH2's OD by more than $10m in order for it not to be a fraud. lol no it doesn't. Like a $90m od and another $200m ow wouldn't be amazing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noctis Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Counting 5 hours of previews onto Friday is so stupid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookie Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 If AoU had the same midnight/thursday previews to OW share as IM3 and Avengers it would make 275m+... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mango Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Why would it have to top it that much? DH2 had 3D as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noctis Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 lol no it doesn't. Like a $90m od and another $200m ow wouldn't be amazing. DH2 did $91m in 24 hours. AoU doing $93m in 29 hours does not make it fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poseidon Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Oh man. What does that mean? TDK had to sell out 6 AM showings to reach those 18,5m, so you can surely say, it had massive capacity problems. And that's exactly what made the midnights so exciting. You had to fight for your place in the theater, it was something special to be part of it.

spizzer Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Why would it have to top it that much? DH2 had 3D as well. DH2 had 24 hours of collection time. AOU has 29. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spizzer Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Every movie does it now, just accept it. I think it's fair to accept it, but at the same time acknowledge that the dynamics between then and now are different, so if a comparison is made it must be made with adjustments.

Neo Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Sorry, but AoU needs to top DH2's OD by more than $10m in order for it not to be a fraud. $1 over and DH2 is gone. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTF Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 DH2 did $91m in 24 hours. AoU doing $93m in 29 hours does not make it fair. What does fair have to do with it, it's just the way things are now. No one was crying when TDKR "only" did $31m with only midnights and no 3D. It's just the way things were/are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mango Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Are we going to start another one of these "Thursday night should not be counted in Friday" debates because I thought that was kind of settled upon like two years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K1stpierre Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Not even 10 pages in and we're already comparing TDKR and HP in it. Can't wait to see the meltdowns (either way) when numbers come in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
