blackspider Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 But that was going to have a ridiculous 8.5% hold, this is heading to ~15% or a bit less, I'm actually thinking that this could go as high as 45 million. (But, please don't shoot me for this, I'm being optimistic) Anything over 40m would be amazing. 45m would just be downright insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elessar Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 This fucker anhialated DH2s OW ticket sales.Not at all. Annihilate suggests a huge increase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MovieMan89 Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Definitely 40+M I say.That would be a helluva an increase from the estimates. Are estimates ever that off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robertron Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Anything over 40m would be amazing. 45m would just be downright insane.45m would basically prove that this films wasn't, and won't be, ridiculously frontloaded, and that, providing the world doesn't end within the next 7 days, it means business and is taking a serious shot at that 2nd WE record.

riczhang Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 That would be a helluva an increase from the estimates. Are estimates ever that off?This movie has defied all rules, and all odds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noctis Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 This might end up selling around 20m tickets, which is 1m ticket sales over DH2. So happy for it. If there's one fantasy franchise to defeat Potter (domestically), it sure as hell should be The Hunger Games instead of something like Twilight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spizzer Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 That would be a helluva an increase from the estimates. Are estimates ever that off?Sunday number isn't an estimate. It's a projection that was made before the first Sunday show even took place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claire of Themyscira Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 How much does it need to today in order to beat TDK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spizzer Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 How much does it need to today in order to beat TDK?Approximately 39.2 million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackspider Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 That would be a helluva an increase from the estimates. Are estimates ever that off?Yes because it is Sunday "projections", not estimates. The 36m number is just what the studio projects it to make that morining. TDK, SM3, and Shrek 2 all saw increases on 3m+ from their original estimates becuase of excellent Sunday performances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robertron Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Not at all. Annihilate suggests a huge increase.Given the fact that DH2 was the finale of a 10yr long mega franchise, I, personally, believe that THG ticket sales are far more impressive, and in turn "anhialated" DH2.

Magic Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Approximately 39.2 million.The other studio estimates may change so it really needs 40M+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riczhang Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 The other studio estimates may change so it really needs 40M+.Only if Friday drops, I don't see how Lionsgate won't have that Saturday figure above Spidey, it is 0.3 million away from it.

redfirebird2008 Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 I'm just trying to be safe, if you get me.That's the smart approach. TDK and DH2's Friday numbers were both overestimated by $1m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
