Heretic Posted May 2, 2012 Author Share Posted May 2, 2012 Nope. Orange Wednesday. 2 for 1 tickets. It's a huge movie-going day. By far the biggest during the week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heretic Posted May 2, 2012 Author Share Posted May 2, 2012 (edited) Lots of reports of sell-outs for The Avengers and American pie on twitter right now...I could see potentially £5m+ for AP this 5 day weekend after what I'v seen today, and maybe over £6m including Monday. That's nearly $10m for the 6 day. Edited May 2, 2012 by Heretic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heretic Posted May 2, 2012 Author Share Posted May 2, 2012 American Pie was insane tonight. Sold out like all evening. It's going to have a big opening. Cinemas are going to be crazy packed this holiday weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonwo Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 American Pie only did okay in the US, think opening it on Wednesday and as an alternative to The Avengers which people would have either seen or couldn't get into, it's no wonder it did good today.Orange Wednesdays is far too busy especially for popular films, I wonder if it puts people off rather than brings them in, I prefer going when it's quiet but saying that, Avengers with a full cinema was great!

Heretic Posted May 4, 2012 Author Share Posted May 4, 2012 :bulgingeyes:It beat DH2? Holy shit! This is going to be HUGE. IMAX sales around my area are VERY strong too. Even for the midnight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimmyRiggins Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Let's hope this doesn't stay an IMAX phenomenon, but that would be surprising, and there is no reason for this, at least, it shows huge expectations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heretic Posted May 4, 2012 Author Share Posted May 4, 2012 So what sort of a total are we looking at for The Avengers?£40-45m seems reasonable at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 (edited) Strong bookings at IMAX won't neccessarily translate to big box office, I'm being realistic and saying £6-7m four days which is on par with Inception. It's likely going to be a 15 which can reduce box office earnings. Edited May 4, 2012 by Jonwo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted May 4, 2012 Author Share Posted May 4, 2012 £6-7m would be a great opening, and with good WOM, it's the type of film that could easily get a 4x + multiplier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
