blackspider Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 I agree about the midnight comparison, but over the course of the weekend I expect the 3D share will improve. Kids are the driving force behind the format and they're going to be a huge part of the audience after midnights.I'll be impressed if this goes over 50%.

fmpro Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Anyone wanna make a guess about TA's 3D %?55% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Accursed Arachnid!™ Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 I'm going to guess 50%. That's about a 15% boost to the total dollar gross.Admittedly, I'm no expert when it comes to 3D effects on box office receipts but...I don't get the 15% thing. What am I doing wrong here?50m tickets50% 3D = 25m ticketsSo 25m x $8.00(reg avg) = $200m25m x $13.00(avg 3D price) = $325mTotal = $525m(31% boost) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder / Operator Shawn Robbins Posted May 4, 2012 Founder / Operator Share Posted May 4, 2012 (edited) I'm guessing the 3D share winds up around 53-55% for this weekend. TF3 did about 60%, so more is possible but I think TF3 had more exclusive 3D offerings and benefited from the hype of having actually been filmed instead of converted.

IMAX tricks that up though because its more expensive than anything -- but they also don't charge extra for 3D usually.

The Dark Alfred Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 (edited) Who's watching this in conventional 2D theatre? It's not even in scope, it has a flat ratio. I can't wait to see the IMAX figures, I hope it does 13-14m, that would bode well for TDKR. Edited May 4, 2012 by The Dark Alfred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our move to Boxoffice has already paid off huge dividends today. We'd be down indefinitely were it not for the server upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently, when the industry talks about 3D shares they're referring to gross shares. When they say 50% 3D share, they mean 50% of the GROSS was in 3D. To me, it always made sense to break it down by admissions, as you're doing, but that doesn't seem to be the way Hollywood does it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
