[Noctis]

I can't wait for an actual figure. All this psa/pta is giving me a headache eh.

Matt, how are you?

[saywhatcuz]

This movie is going to break records. I just feel it.

[Mattrek]

Matt, how are you?

At the end of my chain at Safeway. I'm so done there and I'm just really having a fucking shitty day. Tonight I'm getting so fucking wasted.

[Robertron]

I wouldn't be surprised if it breaks $150m now.All signs are pointing towards it!

[Magic]

Actually I have absolutely no idea what the hell they are pointing to...

[Noctis]

$150m would be amazing.

By popular demand that is.

By popular demand that is.

You might as well have it there. It is some kind of information anyway...

Nope. We just have to wait for Nikki or THR to give us something.

I'll reserve my excitement for the Friday number until I see on the front page of BOM under there Friday estimate section.

[spizzer]

Should be an enormous number IMO

I'm a bit more cautious after the Variety midnight number.

[Deep Wang]

While you wait, here is how we did today. 14 shows - maximum capacity of 2901. We had 1984 in attendance for Hunger games today. Which gave us a rather hefty total of $14,327.50We had 1201 last night at the midnights. We so far have 901 tickets sold for tomorrow.

Why. Variety midnight number was overestimated because they projected 3500+ theaters, and it ended up in 2500. Now add in the fact that this topped BD1 in presales, and yet, only made 66% of its midnights. A HUGE proportion of those presales were for Friday and the rest of the weekend. Now finally, consider that this is a non-sequel, which means that as strong as the presales are, walkups will contribute to a large % of Friday business.

How does that compare to other huge openers at your theater?

1984 today, 1201 midnight. So midnight counts about 40% of full Friday ? Edited March 24, 2012 by firedeep
