It's a weird hybrid because it's a highly anticipated remake. So it's not going to play like a pure family film even though demographically it is. 

Saturday will likely stay flat with Friday minus previews since it's gonna play very heavily to families as well (being a big Disney movie and all). Finding Dory is probably a good comparison, even though that opened in the summer.

Time to start the what went wrong thread.

 

Well, I told people on here it was trash.  This subtracted about $10 off of the Thursday night numbers .

[elcaballero]

I don't see a reason why this wouldn't be frontloaded. It's got the built-in fanbase of a franchise film or sequel.

Unfortunately the box-office landscape has changed so much I don't know how helpful this comp is. 

 

True.  I'd also say Finding Dory is a good comp, but this looks more frontloaded than that.

We have three grades so far in the RTM thread: a C, a D, and an F.  

 

(At least one of them is fake)

I don't think any of the tent pole Disney Fantasy/Fairy Tale/ Animation movies play like pure family films.  They all have a healthy share of adult sans kids audience.

Are you suggesting that BATB doesn't have a massive fan rush factor? I mean, c'mon now. 

It does, but compared to something like Harry Potter it's barely even on the map. It's more Avengers frontloaded than Potter frontloaded, if you catch my drift.

The pre-sales for BATB alone should tell you that this film has a huge fan rush aspect to it. That doesnt mean there won't be walk-ups but to act like its been playing exactly like a family film up this point is simply not true based on how huge its pre-sales were/are.

The only confirmed real one is the D.  That's my vote .

How much would the movie have opened and finished at if it DIDN'T have the rush-factor?

 

Would it have made a lot less at the box office? What do you think, guys?

16.3M bodes well for the March OW record to fall. I see 175M OW right now.

@AABATTERY WHY DIDN'T YOU LIKE IT? IT WAS MADE FOR THE FANS, MAN!

[grey ghost]

So, based on this thread, the range is between 135 and 210 m.

 

Glad the preview numbers cleared that up.

Yes, but Avengers 2 or Avengers 1? I think it's more like Avengers 2.

Anything below an A+ is fake
