[Fullbuster]

Ted has a good hold, I'm satisfied What final tally can we expect for it ?

[pinocchio]

New weekend trend from Germany:Ted (575T), Prometheus (375T), The Dark Knight Rises (250T), Merida/Brave (150T), Ice Age 4 (150T), Lorax (20T),Nothing new, Prometheus just a little bit down from Friday prediction.

[Olive]

Awesome hold for Ted.

[Olive]

3. Trend:Ted (600T), Prometheus (375T), The Dark Knight Rises (275T), Merida - Legende der Highlands (160T), Ice Age 4 (150T), Der Lorax (20T), Fast verheiratet (20T), Red Lights (20T), Jeff, der noch zuhause lebt (20T).

[CJohn]

That sounds quite bad to Prometheus.

TDKR is just 270k from passing TDK.

Brave ("Merida") is in serious danger of missing 1 million admissions - that's worse than bad for a Pixar film. IA4 in week 6 hat nearly as many admissions as Brave in week 2 and will reach 6 million plus some.Ted: Amazing. Amazing.My theory is that the weekend was in fact deflated due to the olympics (steep drops for nearly everything, even Intouchables went down 35%). That makes Ted's hold even more impressive.edit: Fun fact: Ted's 2nd weekend has about the same PTA as TDKR 1st. A-may-zing!

Doesn't Brave more and more look like a complete disappointment overseas?

[IndustriousAngel]

Brave is a complete disappointment - it will propably make only half the dollars Cars2 made.

[lab276]

Doesn't Brave more and more look like a complete disappointment overseas?

It's been like that from the very beginning.

[A Marvel Fanboy]

Sub 300M.Not necessarily a complete disappointment.

[Rudolf]

It's been like that from the very beginning.

It's been like that from the very beginning.

in Australia and Russia Brave almost made Tangled numbers.but in Germany nowhere near as much

Amazing for Ted, mediocre opening for Prometheus and steep drops for nearly everything else

The coming weekend has 4 wide openings, 2 of them comedies referring to human reproduction (US "What to Expect When You're Expecting" vs. Canadian "Starbuck") plus "Magic Mike" and German comedy "Wer's glaubt wird selig". With 3 raunchy comedies (I suppose Ted will stay at nr. 1) plus Magic Mike + Prometheus + TDKR competing for an evening audience screens will again be at a premium and it will be interesting how this weekend turns out - but you have to question the distributor's scheduling abilities ...

[Olive]

It will be very hot over the weekend, 35-40 degrees likely.

First trend:

Ted 300k

Prometheus 150k

Magic Mike 125k

The Dark Knight Rises 130k

Ice Age 4 110k

Brave 100k

35-40 degrees?! That's heatwave territory for Europe.

[Heretic]

There's a heatwave all over Europe this weekend.Even in the UK it's meant to get above 32 degrees. Expect huge falls in most countries.

[IndustriousAngel]

Yep, and it's completely unsure how that will affect BO.

Usually, good weather equals bad BO, but it might get so hot people flee the outdoors and take shelter in air-conditioned theaters

So, take this trend for what it's worth, I would peg Ted a tad higher.

What's interesting is the screen allocation at my theater this evening:

Ted gets the biggest screen (4 shows); Prometheus the next biggest (4 shows), followed by "What To Expect" (5 shows), German comedy "Wer's glaubt" (4 shows), and Red Lights! (4 shows) which is a real surprise (the number of shows I mean; presales look poor as expected). TDKR is down to 1 show as are 5YE and RumDiary. Canadian comedy "Starbuck" only gets 2 shows on small screens for its opening; presales are virtually non-existent and I will be surprised if it makes the Top10. As mentioned, screens are really at a premium with the number of adult films competing for an audience. No Brave or IA4 after 4pm!

[Fullbuster]

Same here, terrible heatwave..No way I go to the cinema this weekend.Many people in my case, I expect pretty bad numbers.
