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

[Plain Old Tele]

Is this 4 times you've seen it so far, BKB?

[Ariadne]

As far as I'm concerned, this contest is OVER and both TDKR and TASM lose this big time.. WB Execs have to be weeping right now over this along with Nolan... MWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

It's looking good for you BKB, I will LOL forever if TA beats TDKR this summer.

Why would they be weeping?

Oh right, you think TDKR will bomb. Sorry.

And I know now I don't belong in this Universe, where one can not simply like Batman, Avengers and Spider-Man. Or Nolan and Cameron.

I just finished reading about 75 or so pages. Took me 2 fucking hours but the reading was worth it. Noctis meltdown over TA passing DH2 was epic.

Rth in the Aussie thread:

Without working anything out i'd say yes, other than DS opening there is no competition this coming weekend for it and the following week only WIB & Dictator(wed opening)

US sunday is looking very strong

According to BOM, 3D accounted for 52% of the OW gross. IDK how they came up with that figure since Sunday hasn't even finished yet, but assuming it's true and that the average 3D ticket is 30% higher than an average 2D one we get0.52*200.3=104.156104.156/(7.83*1.3)=10.310.3 + ( 0.48*200.3)/(7.83)= 22.57M TICKETSALL TIME OW TICKET SELLERS1. The Avengers: 22.57M2. The Dark Knight: 22.06M3. Spiderman 3: 21.96M4. Dead Man's Chest: 20.71M5. Spiderman: 19.77M6. The Hunger Games: 19.48M7. Deathly Hallows P2: 19.21M8. New Moon: 19.04M9. Shrek The 3rd: 17.6710. Breaking Dawn P1: 17.42MSo only 4 films have sold more than 20M tickets OW, 3 of which are superhero films. Another thing to note is that TDKR rises would have to sell about 25.58M tickets to break TA's OW record. That would be an unprecedented increase that I think is almost impossible to do.

So TA does beat TDK's OW in admissions as well? Simply phenomenal. I knew in the last few weeks it was headed for something big but I never ever expected this. So damn happy I could cry.

[Deep Wang]

Yeah, we blew by Friday's numbers and we are only 400 from yesterday's total now. But, there are only a total of 290 tickets left in the last two shows. Still, that's crazy to come that close. Especially with two fewer shows today.

BOM gave estimates for IMAX 3D and other premium formats as well, which are higher priced and included in that 52% figure. Avengers sold 20.9M tickets not 22.57. Edited May 7, 2012 by spizzer

Nope, it doesn't

Also, the average 3D ticket price is $11.18. Not $10.30. The Consumer Report listed it as $10.85 in 2011

I thought you had TA over 21M admissions.

I thought you had TA over 21M admissions.

Let me check really quickly I have it saved in an Excel somewhere

Rth in the Aussie thread:

Rth needs to post some numbers. His number are the truth. :shades:Once he posts them they come true. :worthy:

[spizzer]

21,054,036 tickets with 200.3M

[CloneWars]

Today is the most epic day ever. If the world ends on December 21st, at least we lived to see the day of a $200M OW.

[Lumos]

DMC's OW was truely phenomenal. It's still the highest OW ticket seller for a non-superhero movie and well ahead of Shrek 3 for the highest OW that's isn't an adaption of a book/comic series....pretty crazy.And idk if we'll ever have enough evidence to prove that TA sold more/less tickets than TDK. It's certainly right around that range though.....
