baumer Posted April 18, 2012 Author Share Posted April 18, 2012 For the WW opening weekends, this is now changing to: Name the top 5 international Weekends. So this means it is no longer OPENING WEEKEND, just weekend. The reason for the change is that I can't keep track of what films are opening in one market before they have their WW launch. So to make this easier, it will just be the 5 best WW opening weekends. For example, if The Expendables opens in 3 markets first and grosses 10 mill on August 2nd, and then opens in 55 markets on August 17th and makes 345 mill for the weekend, this would obviously be one of your answers for the top 5. Any questions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any questions? Nope. Everything is clear as glass! So basically it is the WW weekend gross for the weekend of domestic opening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Big help that is. )But 4-5.... oh boy.... that's gonna be a tough one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
