[fmpro]

Ahhhhh why must I have a 9-5 shift today of all days!!!Motherfucking bastards!! Its 7.30am and I am so tempted to call in sick just to watch this kick some $200 million dollar ass!!!

Go to work

[Gideon]

This has a legitimate shot at 200m OW? DAMNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!

Why do i think about the "nyeahh" (right spell?) of Voldemort last year?

lol

[cookie]

a 70 mill sat would insure a 200 mill weekend right?

If a 70m+ Saturday happens it would have to drop 30% or more on Sunday to miss 200m.

[fmpro]

Yes.

never in my wildest dreams.........................

[Travod]

Where do you guys count sellouts?

Cinco de Mayo. Party night.

Evening shows may not be as strong as yesterday

Robin ‏ @Prawah

Avengers Tonight...IMAX Universal Tickets already sold out

June D ‏ @June_Duo

Noooo avengers tickets sold out for the TEN O'CLOCK screening! This is ridiculous....

[baumer]

Well, earlier shows mean lower ticket prices. And we know the Friday number was REALLY driven by the later, higher priced tickets.I'm just sayin'. Let's not get too crazy yet.

No...let's!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ij-jM8CcQIQ

Does that Friday figure include midnight?

No, that is just business day. We did about 750 for the midnights, so this is on pace to match all of Friday.

The Midnight numbers really messed me up, but I think I did pretty well afterwards.

If It's saturday drop is more than 15% (lets say 16%) and it's Sunday drop is less than 30% (lets say 29%), it's numbers should be like this (according to my answers):

Friday: $80.5m

Saturday: $67.6m

Sunday: $48m

Weekend: $196.1m.

Holy shit..

[spizzer]

I still see about 65-66M

A lot of theaters you can click on the showtime to buy tickets, if it will not let you, then it is sold out.

Will be fucking hilarious if it hits $80m Saturday. Proof that WOM spreads faster than ever before. That's a 29% increase over non-midnight Friday.
