lab276 Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Hopefully we're in for a huge weekend, enough to make sure that even with the week slate it could still end up ahead of last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceroll Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Kind of disappointing, I think there was probably some rush to see it, if it follows The Last Song:Wed: 5.5mThurs: 4.6m (-17%)Fri: 7.75m (+68%)Sat: 6.4m (-17%)Sun: 3.1m (-51%)5 day: 27.35m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MovieMan89 Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 I doubt there was much of a rush considering this is a wednesday in April. I don't even know why they opened it today honestly, Wednesday openings really only work in the summer or holiday seasons. Its weekend numbers should obliterate whatever it did today.

Hiccup Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Most people actually don't know it opens on Wednesday...Everybody at my school is seeing this on Friday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceroll Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 The Last Song also opened the Wednesday before Easter on March 31st 2 years ago. I think they're pretty comparable, both movies have a strong female skew, and a pre-set fanbase (Miley Fans for TLS and Titanic fans for Titanic 3D) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lab276 Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 It could be a Shrek 2 thing, where the Wednesday opening had no impact whatsoever on the OW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYer4Life Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Boxoffice.com is still predicting a $35 million weekend...That sounds high but Titanic really is a weekend movie.$35 million would put the total over $40 million for 5 days and $100 million would be a strong probability.According to them, it's projected to be number one and beat out American Reunion and THG.

MovieMan89 Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Titanic is totally a weekend date night movie. Friday and Saturday will destroy its numbers today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iceroll Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 I'm hoping for a big Weekend jump too, I definitely want this to do well (heck, I started the Titanic 3D club) but that OD number is pretty disappointing to me. I think since a lot of places are off for the whole week the jumps probably won't be that big for the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grey ghost Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 it's a decent opening but doesn't seem that spectacular for the second biggest movie everThe original started with small numbers too,but girls can't stop going back to watch it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishstick Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Wednesday opening makes sense since they aren`t going for records or that kind of shit. Titanic has always been a slow burn, no need to turn it into a frontloaded OD wonder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichWS Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 The Wednesday opening is a great way to build buzz for the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B J Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 After two wks of over estimates, i'm guessing the actual will be around 4m-5m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grey ghost Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Titanic is very crowd friendly. It should gain momentum after the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B J Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Maybe THG somehow managed to stay flat or even increase today. That would be amazing!or perhaps the Nikki is doing what she does best. Sub 5m coming up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Alfred Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 That's a good number. Under 5m would be disappointing, 6m would be an excellent start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJohn Posted April 5, 2012 Author Share Posted April 5, 2012 or perhaps the Nikki is doing what she does best. Sub 5m coming up.This is THR, not Nikki. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
