See? lol I told you more incredible things would happen. Again, these are early numbers and could still change later on. But I think the second weekend record is going down. Amazing for IO as well. #crumble

Transformers 3 vs DH2 war on BOM was HILARIOUS

Excel goes loonie for Superman too, and Batman. lol. Wait til Batman v Superman rolls around

 

Well yeah he has already gone full crazy with BVS opening weekend. Seriously doubt that happens, but I am impressed with his call on this one. He was pretty skeptical of it in the KJ threads leading up to the preview screenings. The movie itself won him over and he decided to take a chance. Just like I don't think TA1 gets over 200 opening without incredible WOM, the same is true of JP4.

 

The WOM kicked in very fast from the Thursday shows and caused it to explode. Twitter is a powerful weapon, especially with much earlier preview shows than the old days. By the time the first shows Friday morning roll around the word is already out that it's a must-see event for everyone.

Nothing will ever top the BOM days with Potter. Just so much fun. Will never forget it and how I almost passed out from the adrenaline rush I got from HP7 Part 2 midnight number.

TDK, TA1 were way better because the movies actually had legs.

That was quite fun. Quite a few thought it had a shot at 100m OD. Didn't realize how frontloaded it was.

Just sat down for the 10:30 IO. Only about 25% full for now, we'll see how it goes.

If you were a Potter fanatic, that moment was what you lived for.  In that moment, we soared.  In that moment, we were infinite.

With a $29 million Sunday, IO does 97. $100 million is so close!

What was that one guy's name? Point man?

I'm not even a Potter fan but the hours where we thought 100 opening day would happen were amazing. Very exciting to follow that situation. The 43.5 midnight number is just jawdropping and I hope none of the 7 PM Thursday preview movies ever beat it. Star Wars might though, haha.

where are you at?

 

25% full, is the showtime in an hour?

[kayumanggi]

Universal: Wahahaha! OW record, broken!

 

Disney: Wahahaha! Second weekend record intact!

 

Universal: Wahahaha! Are you sure?

 

Disney, Fox, Paramount, Sony, Warner Brothers: (Crickets chirping)

I want both movies to do over 100m. IO will definitely make it harder for anyone to take the second place record from them.

What happened the day after that? Oh yeah, nothing. It was always going to be massive that's the point. The drop off was almost as impressive as the OD/previews itself.

Guys, may I know where rth's numbers are?

lololololol at downplaying that midnight number.  No one expected legs so that wasn't a shock.  But THAT huge of a rush was unexpected, even for Potter.

Disney is usually pretty open to fudging, might as well do it this weekend

 

If it was Paramount we could lock it in already 

[Ozymandias]

What was that one guy's name? Point man?

 

Pointman(which a lot of people started calling Pointlessman) got banned right before TF3 came out.

 

And Noctis got suspended right before DH2 was released.

This record of IO might stay for a loooooooong time.

[Noctis]

Give us some more fake rth #s, no one cares about Potter right now.
