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

[BK007]

DH2 #s start to look rather pedestrian now eso after that OD and midnight records

Honestly, I looked them up after Avengers $80m OD and thought they were really pathetic. I love Harry Potter but apparently a lot of people couldn't care less. It's not as entertaining and it wasn't a "summer blockbuster" as the Avengers, but heh, I think it deserved a better box office run. But America's land of the superheroes so they'll always do better.

Damn, beating DH2 worldwide is just...ugh.

Damn right, son.

You have to think Rises even has a crazy shot at 100m OD, think with 45m in midnights...

Not without 3D.

[Shantal]

Top trends on Twitter right now.

[GiantCALBears]

It has no shot at that. Why do people keep posting these kinds of predictions?

When it rivals HP8 midnights after this, 3D or not you will see this craziness

[Gideon]

I doubt it'll hit that without 3D.

Beginning of may.End of july.Is a laaaaaate 3d conversion even technically possible for TDKR?(don't mistake me: i'm GLAD it's in 2D but i wanted to test the limits of the schedule system with my question) Edited May 6, 2012 by Gideon

TDK won't touch 91 mill.

Why not? It has finale factor and inflation plus increased IMAX share. It's not as crazy as it looks

No it doesn't.Midnights record may go down with Breaking Dawn 2 or Catching Fire. Nothing else.$100m OD or even $91m OD is not happening for another couple years, if at all.

[redfirebird2008]

Roughly:IMAX - $16M / $15.4 = 1.04M3D - $88.1M / $10.7 = 8.23M2D - $96.2 / $7.65 = 12.58MTotal - 21.85MSM3 and TDK are just below that.I will try to do more accurate calculation when actuals are available.

I think you miscalculated. They said 52% of the tickets were 3D/IMAX, not 52% of the revenue.

[Plain Old Tele]

Nolan does not do 3D. Period, end of story.(Even if he did, it's too soon to turn around a film that quickly.)

I have to say, as someone who hates the format, hearing this 'not without 3D' over and over again is increasingly depressing.

[Fake]

TDKR won't touch 91 mill.

Agree.Nothing without 3D is gonna touch it for a long long time.....

Damn right, son.

Seeing the possible WW run... is there a country that is truly, totally hermertic to superheroes?

[Elessar]

I guess TA beat TDKR to $200m.

[riczhang]

No it doesn't.Midnights record may go down with Breaking Dawn 2 or Catching Fire. Nothing else.$100m OD or even $91m OD is not happening for another couple years, if at all.

Didn't most of us say the same about a 200M OW???

[GiantCALBears]

No it doesn't.Midnights record may go down with Breaking Dawn 2 or Catching Fire. Nothing else.$100m OD or even $91m OD is not happening for another couple years, if at all.

How is $40m midnights and $50m rest of day not possible after what we've seen this year with THG and TA. Even without 3d, this will be more frontloaded than TDK.

[Noctis]

I couldn't care less if Potter is beaten domestically, but worldwide? Holy shit, that gets to me personally. Especially since The Avengers is so emotionally hollow.

We're going to be maintaining one topic for weekend numbers from here on for awhile. This is to help with archival purposes, including the possibility of linking them on each movie's BO.com movie page. It also prevents unnecessary clutter in the databases. Topic titles will be updated accordingly once a staff member sees a new thread has been made for a new weekend day's numbers, and then merged.

Couldn't you have merged them after the weekend estimate thread died?

[Chewy]

Yay!
