spizzer Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 We should start to get an idea of matinee performance on the East Coast in the next 2-3 hours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vc2002 Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 What's wrong with it? From SM1 to DMC to SM3 to TDK, the opening revenue record used to translate into opening admissions records. Potter 8 broke that trend and now it looks like that will become the norm going forward.Did I say it's wrong?I'm just saying why dont we just wait till TA actually breaks the records and we get its 3D share percentage, then we will actually HAVE SOMETHING to discuss.

I would be very surprised if it doesn't break the record, and I will also be surprised if it doesn't have a higher 3D percentage than Potter.

ecstasy Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Which is depressing to think about. 3D is ruining these milestones.LOL it's part of the game now. Can't be changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackspider Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Anyone wanna make a guess about TA's 3D %?It's going to be in the low 40% range IMO. 3D seemed pretty unpopular during the midnights much like DH2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grey ghost Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Anyone wanna make a guess about TA's 3D %?Over 55%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Accursed Arachnid!™ Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 So 40-55%? Thanks, guys... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfirebird2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatebox Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Didn't Disney specifically release it so there weren't many 2D options? 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 It's going to be in the low 40% range IMO. 3D seemed pretty unpopular during the midnights much like DH2.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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfirebird2008 Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Didn't Disney specifically release it so there weren't many 2D options?Yes, Rallax reported this the other day for his theater. Said they were given instructions on the number of shows for 2D they were allowed to have. This is where we will see the studios start moving in the future for big openings. To up the ante over the previous record holder, you simply demand more 3D showings. 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) Didn't Disney specifically release it so there weren't many 2D options?To an extent, but it still has about 1,000 more 2D locations than 3D locations. I'm also seeing more 2D options around here for this than a lot of other recent 3D movies have given, which surprised me.Now if only we could get exhibitors to stop wasting all of the showtimes for their biggest and best screens exclusively on 3D...

filmnerdjamie Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Yeah I see more 2D screenings than 3D in my neck of the woods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only clout those demands can carry is generally with films that appeal to very young audiences because they're the main ones supporting the format anymore.

Letsuseournoggin Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 (edited) But a movie has to be good or at least popular to warrant that kind of dedication.and if a movie motivates more people to pay higher premiums the records it breaks are fair game. Not just any movie can achieve that with higher prices.What if people have no other choice other than 3D. Several times, I've gone to watch a film and had no choice but to purchase a 3D ticket because 2D shows were not at all convenient or had one or two shows. I don't think it's necessarily a matter of dedication for a large number of people. I think it's a matter of convenience. So I'm not sure I buy that it's all fair game. Same goes for any other 3D movie that "forces" itself on the consumer. Edited May 4, 2012 by Letsuseournoggin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
friendofnarnia Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 So just to let you all know, if The Avengers had the same ratio of Midnights/Rest Of The Weekend as Iron Man 2, then it's OW total would be right around 350M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
