Thurs numbers

[baumer]

I'm all over the map right now. I hope Titanic and American REunion have huge Fridays and THG has a weak one, but that isn't going to happen.

[baumer]

Very possible. I'm just predicting it to do better than you. Simple as that. I have it around 32-33m for the weekend.

And i have it dropping 50%. So that would be about 29 mill.

Everyone is looking at last year's numbers, but if you look at 2010, which is pretty similar to when Easter falls this year, the Friday increases are much smaller. So there is a possibility it increases less than 100%.http://boxofficemojo...ns10.htm&p=.htmThen again if you look at 2009, the jumps were like 2011http://boxofficemojo...09-04-10&p=.htm

2011 and 2009 are probably much better comparisons, since Clash is so much bigger than either opener. I think we'll see a sneak-in effect too since American Reunion is R rated.

Well I hope THG has an astronomical Friday, and AR has a great Friday, and Titanic with a weak Friday. Mkay? Mkay.

Not that far off from each other. I'm tired of arguing. Let's hit the peace pipe.

I'm all over the peace pipe today. It's all good.....as you know, Jesus died today, and to quote my wife, "No I'm not going to a movie with you today. Jesus died today you know."I'm not really sure if this fits into our truce, but it's funny nonetheless.

The only 2 films that had small Friday increases were The Last Song which just opened on the Wednesday and Alice in Wonderland which lost 3D screens (and that was a much bigger deal then when there were fewer 3D screens). A lot of movies farther down had small increases too but that was due to hefty theater count losses.

Nikki is overestimating so we are in for disappointment again.

bad link, good increase for Titanic, hopefully it can gain momentum throughout the day.

[B J]

If both make less than 10m than THG will bust em, 3 wks soon to be 4 at #1 yo.

As long as AR isn`t #1.

[spizzer]

She's extrapolating Friday numbers from early East Coast matinees. There's just such a large margin for error there that it's hard to take them seriously at all. I can't put any stock in those numbers right now

I hope THG can keep #1 for all 3 days.

Agreed. That's why it's good to wait until the 9 or10 pm EST update.

Only once, then she was all over the map.

I don`t trust her either. You bet that those $8-10 mio for Titanic will turn out to be $5-6 mio. I wish first version is the right one but it`s Nikki. $24 mio Friday for HG second week, nuff said.
