For the OD, right? Cause I am from the East coast and I remember people lining up outside theaters to watch the movie. Too bad the theaters were closed. Sad! 

Believe me, the lost demand was huge. Something like you never seen before. Absolutely huge! Any other suggestion is fake news. God bless the box office and god bless America!

Midnight obviously. 

Bit of a non-sequitor, but I’m excited for the return of true midnights with FFH (not 100% confirmed, but what early Fandango slates seem to suggest).

Give me the number before I'm pissed my self

I just realised, Avatar is the least watched film to have domestic crown with just around 70mn admits.

 

Endgame shall be around 80-85mn if crossed TFA.

this was due to 3D surcharge and premium screens?

Admits weren't less due to that but Gross was. If Avatar had ATP equal to 2009 rates, it would have grossed $500-550mn Approx.

Moviegoers must be using adblockers lately since Legos and Uglydolls aren't being seen.

Everytime I read Brainbug's post I laugh, his interest in dino movies is adorable

Everytime I read JC fans' post I cringe, their interest in JC is borderline psychotic

T-minus $600m to go.

What is ATP?

Sorry yes, that' what I meant. 

The fact that it had such a high gross for such smaller admissions. 

 

Interesting that it would have been affected that much using ATP from 2009.

Just to save others math, linear would be 52M. Will be well below linear since weekend night vs workday night.   

 

Wait for an asgardian.

Sunday night is significantly weaker than Saturday night. If this was a Sat-to-Sat comparison I'd say it could hit up to 50.

It's interesting how the lead has been lost by a story focussed movie to a technical breakthrough movie and then back again several times.

 

Compelling and tense Jaws was topped by technical wizardry of Star Wars, then topped by heart-warming E.T., topped by technical breakthrough of Jurassic Park, topped by doomed romance movie of Titanic, topped by technical spectacle of Avatar, perhaps to be topped by character-heavy Avengers Endgame. (Star Wars has a lot of heart, and Titanic and Endgame have a lot of spectacle, but they weren't the movie's main selling point.)

 

Star Wars, Jurassic Park, and Avatar stand out in my memory as the only times when technology leaped ahead to the extent that a movie really showed audiences something they had never seen before, and created a "must-see" event. And it's weird how they are spaced by 16 years.

 

So Endgame to take the lead, then be topped by a technological breakthrough movie in 2025. Can't wait!

Yup. 

Plus these figures always include presales for the evening, so who knows whether Saturday night was presale heavy or not. 

There is really no way of knowing by simply comparing these two numbers. Too many variables. 

 

We need an expert Asagardians help.
