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

I'm not buying this 'TDKR is in trouble' talk. This opening just cements that people are really into movie-going now, especially these kinds of movies. TDKR picked the perfect movie to debut its trailer with.

If anything I'm not expecting TDKR to top this and post even more mind-blowing numbers.

Agreed.

If any movie is fucked, its Spider-Man.

It may actually help increase interest, so I don't see how it hurts it since they are two months apart.

PS - FWIW, very well done to TA. I underestimated it big time (and I'm not the only one).

and still might lose points

not 'might' but 'will'.

Neither am I.

Spiderman will have some problems in the US, but in foreign countries it will beat TDK, particularly in Asia / Latin America.

[boxofficeth]

With such a huge opening wknd TA potentially tops the BO for three weeks, esp. if Battleship fails to open oveer 50M.If that happens, it's gonna be the first time for a film to top 3 wknd in May since Code of Silence in 1985.

[grey ghost]

Nikki. Official's not up yet I think.

She's trying to convince the studios to lower the estimate to save face.

[Hiccup]

So does this mean The Amazing Spider-Man will sweep 100M opening weekend and 200M in six days?

[Fake]

TDKR is not in any trouble. It will handily do over 450M.

But it will not win the year or break OW record.

In reality most did who understand this business so get in line.

[Jack Nevada]

Why is rocknrolla going away?

It's not in trouble unless you think there's some kind of competition going on between the two. TDKR will make a ton of cash in its own right. Probably less than Avengers, but it is by no means in trouble. In trouble would be a flop type of situation.

Lol to say this after we've seen this crazy numbers is possibly a bit shortsighted, no?

[XenoZodiac]

I still hope TDKR wins the summer this year...but its gonna be a lot more uphill task than it was ever imagined.

[rockNrollaDIM]

Oh and I hope whoever said this means TASM is in trouble is right.... I need that movie to fail epically.Ok, bye!
