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

[redfirebird2008]

This destroys the adjusted opening weekend too. We're really dealing with a monster here.

No it doesn't. This got $30m of 3D boost that neither SM3 nor TDK had. Both of them adjust over $200m (in fact, over $205m) when you give them a 60% 3D share like Avengers. It did come way closer than Potter, that's for damn sure.

Or what tough guy??????

I am a tough guy. This has been proven in real life. Now back on topic and lets enjoy these numbers.

TDKR will beat it in admissions but still TA is just... :blink:

Batman? Huh, we have a Hulk!!!

Best. Line.Ever!

In a way, 200M would be cooler than 202 or 203.A perfect rounded number.Or 214 (perfect wink to the 114 of Spiderman!)

[GiantCALBears]

$200 million has been the dream opening for TDKR since the TDK opening weekend four years ago.Now that we know this type of opening is fully possible, the sky is no longer the limit.I just love that TDKR has a shot at such a large opening.

I dunno if it seriously does. That is such a high bar now without 3D

What are the admissions though?

We´re in the middle of a historic moment now guy´s and girlsEnjoy it. They don´t come often

200m is touch and go, but if it falls a tad short, like 199m, surely Dinsey will fudge it. Maybe Tangled will be demoted from 200m lol

I'm not sure if we are supposed to create a weekend numbers thread, but the Friday thread is big enough.

Good move. People need to be able easily find the beginning of the weekend estimate discussion.

HP8's opening looks rather weak now huh? (where is noctis lol)

[grey ghost]

No way it drops this hard on Sunday with all the sell outs on Saturday.The actuals should go up by 2 or 3 million.

107,7m77,3m73,6m 258,6m OW record. The Dark Knight Rises.I am just throwing a number and hoping to be like BKB.

You can bet that Disney will use every fudging tactic in the world to keep the actual above 200m.

[redfirebird2008]

What are the admissions though?

Spizzer said last night it would need around $207m to beat the 22m admissions of SM3 and TDK. I was hoping for $210m so we could definitely say it pulled it off. You never know though, with numbers this big the actual could end up $10m higher.

[Gopher]

Hmm. Does this actually break TDK/SM3's admissions records? With a 60% 3D share as reported last Friday, the average ticket price for this movie would have been ~$9.95, which puts admissions at 20.13m. TDK/SM3 did 22m. That doesn't even include IMAX 3D which probably contributed something like 20m. I don't like downplaying a spectacular opening, but this really goes to show how valuable 3D inflation can be for movies people really want to go to.

Just once a year at this rate.

So much for comic book movie fatigue.
