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

[Fake]

70M today is the target. I believe it will hit that number and push TA towards 200M OW.

70M will lock 200M.

[ecstasy]

WTF happened? LOLOLOL I went to bed and woke up to 80m confirmed for Friday?This thread exploded to over 1000 unread messages, lol.

Are you sure? Because I remember on BOM forums Inny posted that Avatar beat TDK in tickets sales only by a couple of hundred million.

That's because Avatar had a 75-80% 3D share. And I sure hope that couple hundred million comment was a typo. :lol:I calculated about a 5m ticket difference between Avatar and TDK. Edited May 5, 2012 by redfirebird2008

Are you sure? Because I remember on BOM forums Inny posted that Avatar beat TDK in tickets sales only by a couple of hundred million. So how could TA need only 675m, after two years inflation?

couple of hundred million?

[Jack Nevada]

This has nothing to do with anything, but WTF Avatar had an only 77M OW? Somebody explain.

[Biggestgeekever]

$65+m is really the minimum, I think. Matinees are looking absolutely enormous, well ahead of anything I've seen since Spider-Man 3. OMG I'm getting so excited!

70M will lock 200M.

Basically, if $70m happens, then you can pencil in a gross around Titanic, lol.

[Eldenfirefly]

Yes!!!!!! Now this is much more like it! Now OW record is sure to go down!!!!! I confess to have been very disappointed by the initial 67m estimate. Now I am absolutely giddy with happiness!!!! go TA!!!!!!! OW record is going down!!!!!

[Shawn Robbins]

Ticket sales between TDK and Avatar were too close for anyone to make a definitive call on. The margin for error is too wide, especially with 3D in the mix for Avatar.

It wasn't couple but around 6 or 7M admissions plus like red pointed Avatar had crazy 3D percentage.

[Jack Nevada]

I'm wondering, why it had such a "weak" opening.

When you think about it, it makes sense. It was an original movie not a sequel and had many snowouts along the east coast.

December. Nothing ever opens big in December.

You still stuck at OW record?

We are talking about 200M OW here!!

[Jack Nevada]

So this is making 200M this weekend? Jesus christ, I think i'm going to explode.

IMAX lowers TDK admissions to around Shrek 2 and SM1 roughly 70-71M.

[baumer]

Does anyone know the percentage of 3D this has? Not trying to downgrade the achievement, but in comparison to TDK and THG, I just want to know. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

63%
