May 4, 2012 Weekend (AVENGERS Opening Discussion): ACTUAL 207.4 mill!!!!

[fmpro]

we went from 65-67M to 68M to 70M to 70-74M to maybe 80M OD. What a rollercoaster.

But a good one

"This thread is going to be huge. It will end up being bigger than the TF3 OD thread last year."lol that was hilarious people called for a sub 300 million gross.Knew it was going to recover over the Holidays.. It had Canada day on Friday and another Holiday on Monday.

[FilmBuff]

Friday thread is usually the longest. Saturday thread will be pretty huge too, but that's b/c of weekend projections w/ it.

[Lordmandeep]

well Saturday is going to be a lot of speculations..It is going to be the biggest day ever at the box office minus midnights.

We are looking at a 74M OD now? Oh my god...

[Robertron]

My $174.3m prediction is looking more and more likely as the hours pass!

[Lordmandeep]

lol this more like an old school opener, where we do not know the Friday number yet.Usually we have known for sure by know.

[Robertron]

RTH has posted that it's closer to $80m!!

^{Actually 80.}

[BoxOfficeZ]

Hopefully those hold and I check back in like 5 hours and don't find out it 'fell" to 75m.

80M? HOLLY MOTHER OF GOD?!?!? 80M!??! THAT IS INSANE!!!

[Lordmandeep]

[Jack Nevada]

Good lord!

[fmpro]

80M? HOLLY MOTHER OF GOD?!?!? 80M!??! THAT IS INSANE!!!

Welcome back to that number

[Jandrew]

we go from $65M to a possible $80M!? i knew this would happen! business was just too big yesturday for it to be that low. These analysts need to stop posting numbers at 3pm, they just cause a riot, im not taking anymore estimates seriously unless theyre after 9-10PM EST, so the west coast would have some play time

[CJohn]

80M OD means OW record.

[Shawn Robbins]

What's the source on 80m?I'd be very careful at this point, the odds of an estimate shooting up 8-10% on Saturday morning without any updates from the usual major sources is fairly low. Better to be surprised than disappointed when real estimates are in. Anything over $70m at this point is a huge win.

Rth.. A very reliable source in the past..He is to be trusted
