@TalismanRing If you’re still sick and need something to cheer you up or you just feel extra petty lately, there are some quality content from a certain someone in here that could do that.

I don't think it has a chance in hell of hitting 240m for the weekend, though.

Whether rightly or wrongly, I don't buy into adjusted numbers ever. You're right that SW is more frontloaded than Marvel, generally speaking, but Marvel has been getting steadily more frontloaded (especially with their big team-up movies), and my assumption is that this might be their most frontloaded to date (in terms of previews->OW). I could be wrong, of course. In terms of ULTRON adjusted, I think it does a little better than those numbers. 

 

I don't think you (the general you) can have it both ways: either it has a huge preview number (40m+) or it's more backloaded than other franchises. But not both together. You can't just take one multi and scale it up for a larger preview number -- IMO the multi will drop the higher the preview number gets.

 

Just my two cents, of course.

He does have a point here, but then we’re being extra petty, so...

 

Sorry old man, you know me, I just really enjoy ragging at you 😉

Never underestimate the MCU again is the lesson.

Yes, I remember that discourse and it fills me with petty glee to be proven right.  Thank you for digging it up.

Sunday looks massive.

 

I think it will drop 20-22% or so today which would smash the Sunday Record.

20-22% drops from 82 would still make for a higher Sunday number than the previous true Friday record 

AND SUNDAY WASN'T EVEN INFLATED BY A SCHOOLS/WORKS-OFF MONDAY

[Lordmandeep]

Saturday shows went all full till midnight in local areas around me there is no doubt that there is still over Demand on to Sunday.

 

As I said my local theater had the busiest day ever on Saturday

Feels like summer 07.

 

TFA OW ticket sales with identical 3D/IMAX/PLF splits + 2.67% annual inflation @ 2.5 years is ~264M.  I think ticket sales end up being about the same for AIW (weaker previews/presales, stronger Fri-Sun/walk-ups).  I expect a 265M OW (+/- 10M for varying 3D/IMAX/PLF splits).

 

Unfortunately I won't have time to do a sellout tracker, but I will post ticket price comps for TA, AOU, TFA/RO/TLJ and anything else I have on record.

Yup.

 

39.0M Thurs

68.0M Fri (+74.3%) (Empire saying figure could be 108.0M which would mean 69.0M Fri which is a 76.9% jump)

80.0M Sat (+17.6%) (With demand-level this high and massive Thursday preview, this jump could be >20%)

67.2M Sun (-16.0%) 

 

254.2M Weekend.  Sat/Sun jump/hold could be softer with spillover, and Friday could be another 1M higher which would push it into the mid 260s.

 

39.0M Thurs

67.0M Fri (+71.8%)

83.0M Sat (+23.8%) So Saturday jump indeed ended up >20%

70.0M Sun (-15.5%) Still could be softer but 70M is the  number.

 

259.0M Weekend.  Will come in just under the 265M target.  220.0M Fri-Sun and with strong reaction, should pull a 3X multi from there which puts it at 660 + 39M Domestic - photo finish for $700M and photo finish with Black Panther for #1 for the year.

 

Did not see 3D/2D splits on deadline or BOM, but deadline did mention an estimated 22.5M IMAX opening / 9% of total gross (could be revised after Sunday is complete), which is lower than TFA/TLJ.  Meaning this should hold its own in OW attendance arguments with TFA (both right above the 22.0M level - TDK/TA/SM3 around mid 21M).

A lot of theaters don't have showtimes up for the new openers, so we won't have a good grasp on them for another day or two.
