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

[Noctis]

193m would take the attendance for the weekend, is that happening too?

No, it wouldn't.It needs to hit $205m in order to take the attendance record.

With 60% 3D share, it needs over $200m to do it. Could very well happen.

[eXtacy]

how do you figure that noctice, show calculations

She looks cool as a redhead. I always thought she should be a lot taller for the movie. She has no super powers so at least she wouldn't look so petite and dimuntive next to all of the guys.

A woman doesn't have to be tall.

[Accursed Arachnid!™]

Ugh. I hate that title. As I said before, they apparently wanted to avoid any confusion with The Avengers film based on the TV series that came out in 1998. But I don't see one aspect of this film that is anywhere close to that one. Not one...

Oh right...

Sorry, one more thing:

Of course a woman doesn't have to be tall. Not my point.

A woman doesn't have to be tall.

That bitch prevented a murder of a mega bitch! I hate her!

[Gideon]

Will be happy as hell to see SM3's Saturday admissions record go down in flames. Piece of shit didn't deserve it.

5 years later, i'm still quite sad reading this in the same sentence.

Things should have been different!

Wasted opportunity forever...

[ecstasy]

Sorry, one more thing:

She looks awful. That saddens me.

What did you think about the aftercredits scene?

It was very funny. Movie in general was funny particularly Hulk and Stark.

[Deep Wang]

So surpassing Friday + midnights looks like a possibility at your place

Yeah, it's gonna come down to the last show at midnight most likely. Edited May 6, 2012 by rallax

I agree, especially that Hulk and Loki scene, amazing.

I was asking because of your avatar;)

That's crazy!

60% of Avengers revenue is coming from 3D. Even conservative estimates have 3D prices at 30% higher than 2D. So with that in mind, it provides a boost of approximately 16% to the gross. Divide $200m by 1.16 and you get $172m, which is pretty much where SM3 and TDKR adjust to with inflation. Shawn wrote an article about it earlier this week and came to the same conclusion.

3D prices are certainly going to contribute, and while I’m not going to officially predict it (yet?), this is the first time in history we can seriously talk about a $200 million opening weekend. One need only look at the openings of The Dark Knight and Spider-Man 3 to figure out how: each one adjusts to approximately $172-173 million when accounting for ticket price inflation since their respective releases. If you add an additional 15% from 3D prices that Avengers should boast (and the other two did not), we then see the magical $200 million threshold is within reach. Its not a matter anymore of whether or not that figure is possible, its just a matter of demand.

Sorry, one more thing:

Photoshop, right?

something is off...

[redfirebird2008]

$80m Saturday here we come!

[spizzer]

BJ's got this at 21.27M tickets sold at 200M and that was prior to the 60% 3D share figure being released. This needs well over 200M to break the attendance record

[Gideon]

So the title of the thread will "erase" the friday part and put the saturday in place of?So long fridayfriend...
