MovieMan89 Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 The flip side is the Friday estimate might not hold. Both TDK and DH2's Friday estimates (originally reported on Saturday) ended up being adjusted down with actuals on Monday. If I remember right, TDK's Sunday actual jumped around $4m from the Sunday morning estimate after it sold out a ton of late night shows that WB wasn't expecting.That is possible too. We can't forget this is Nikki we're dealing with and more often than not she overestimates not under. That being said, she's consistently underestimated this movie including last night, so hopefully that pattern will continue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichWS Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 I think it'll have a fairly normal 25-30% drop today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redfirebird2008 Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 That is possible too. We can't forget this is Nikki we're dealing with and more often than not she overestimates not under. That being said, she's consistently underestimated this movie including last night, so hopefully that pattern will continue.It's not just Nikki. In the case of TDK and DH2, the studio itself overestimated the Friday numbers. The Sundays for both of them ended up being stronger than projected on Sunday morning, so it canceled out the overestimated Friday. TDK's Friday was $1m too high, but its total went up $3m because the Sunday projection was $4m too low. The Saturday for both TDK and DH2 was pretty accurate if I remember right, so $50-52m will likely end up being the actual for THG. If the Friday number drops $1m like TDK and DH2 did, then that just makes the Saturday increase even BETTER. Of course, we won't know if the Friday estimate is good until Monday so we will already know the Sunday drop as well. Going to be interesting to see what it can do Sunday.

Magic Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 I wonder if it can beat SM3's 51.3M number...Probably a longshot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B J Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 157m gives it 20m tickets sold and effectively the largest non-sequel opening EVAR!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldenfirefly Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Omg 50 million!!!! And with this Saturday number, Katniss and friends have thrown down the gauntlet. Nobody will ever be under estimating this series after this breath taking Saturday number. It's just mind blowing. I threw around 150m in jest before the midnight numbers came out and it was shrugged off as impossible. Now ... Let the games begun!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
