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

[baumer]

What's this Puerto Rico ''thing''? I'm kinda new here...so this might sound as a stupid question...

Read this:* Note: Revenge of the Fallen's weekend gross fell $3 million short of Paramount's Sunday estimate, which would have put the five-day opening at $198.2 million. Though shy of $200 million, it would have still ranked second among the all time five-day starts. However, Paramount revised its grosses from Wednesday and Thursday upward, and that's what pushed the total past $200 million. Wednesday went from $60.6 million to $62.0 million, and Thursday went from $28.6 million to $29.1 million. Paramount reported that the differences came from unreported showings from the movie's midnight openings on Wednesday night, which went from the previously reported $16 million at around 3,000 theaters to $16.8 million at close to 3,300 theaters, as well as late reports from institutional IMAX locations and theaters in Puerto Rico and some Caribbean islands (which the studio counts in its domestic numbers), which accounted for $1.1 million of the difference.http://boxofficemojo.com/news/?id=2601&p=.htm

Whaaaaaaa?

BOM's average ticket price doesn't factor in a 3D boost. That's why it says Avatar is over 90m tickets when in fact it was around 75m.

This beat the Theather Average record.

You know, I wasn't even sure if 200 million OW was physically possible (as in there are that many movie showing you can squeeze into a weekend), but TA has proven that it definitely is! So, hats off to TA! This is just so amazing!

[baumer]

Monday will be in the 16-18m range I think. Pretty incredible for a film during school-time.

Nope, it will be over 20.

Hot damn, what an amazing OW! Fucking hell! Perkele! Let's celebrate!

The Theater Average is crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Plain Old Tele]

200M OW ... At the beginning of the year I thought you wouldn't be seen for years and now I am certain we will see it twice this summer. And now i'm thinking The Hobbit can live the dream and we can have 3 200M OW and over 500M domestic movies. I know i'm getting ahead of myself but right now I think anything is possible. I could go outside and see a unicorn.

TH won't get within $50m of $200m, and that's a best case scenario. But it's gonna have monster holiday days.

Same breath as TDK and Spider Man 3 in admissions easy....

It's a shitload closer than Potter was, which is nice to see.

It's incredible you can still find that article.

Not really, a weekend report article is attached to every weekend chart from 2005 onwards.

[Fullbuster]

MADNESS IS HERE

[Moviefanatic]

Yes! Fuck yea. I am so happy and I think that Sunday number will be 52-54 million. Woohoo!

[Eldenfirefly]

Serious question, how high is TA going to go eventually over its entire run now that it has had such an amazing OW. With its excellent WOM, it should have legs. 550m? dare we even contemplate 600m?

[kayumanggi]

200 M is insane!

[grey ghost]

Fastest to 200 million3 daysAvengers beat the old record by 2 whole days.lmao,
