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

[Magic]

Just got back from my theater. Spillover effect is definitely in play. Plenty of sellouts and packed theaters. I think a sub 20% drop is possible.

Rth says 56-61M Sunday.

[Kvikk Lunsj]

There will be a day when RDJ will not be Iron Man. That will be one rough transition.

It will be hard when any of the original actors are not in there roles.

Rth said 56-61M for Sunday.

Holy shit. Doesn't surprise me judging on how my theater compared to yesterday and Friday.

[spizzer]

I figured a sub 20% drop would be possible if Saturday was going to come out at 70M+

Went to go see a 12:15am showing of The Avengers tonight... and it was sold out. Gahhhh! Is this real life?

This will count toward Monday right?

My favourite tweet, by far!

I hope TA completely rips TDK a new one ( Think Hulk v Loki)

[Fake]

If Rth say 56-61, it sure as heck gonna fall between 56-61.210M OW possible.

[MovieMan89]

Could go as high as $61m for Sunday!?!? Gonna have to echo that tweet: is this real life?

[CloneWars]

If Rth say 56-61, it sure as heck gonna fall between 56-61.210M OW possible.

That would be insane. That would be a $41M increase over DH2. We've never in BO history had a film increase its OW by that much money. It's unfathomable.

It going to be higher than 210m OW

Fuck me, and I thought on Friday 60M for Saturday was a big stretch.

we never seen a film like Avengers before.I wonder how much Avengers would made if a bad film? 150-160m?

[ecstasy]

Well people are still at the theaters waiting in line to go in. 56-61m is a good range.

[ecstasy]

Fuck me, and I thought on Friday 60M for Saturday was a big stretch.

LOL I thought beating THG was a big stretch.

[RichWS]

It was much talked about when Hunger Games arrived but this is true four-quadrant nirvana.

[Jandrew]

Is it safe to say Avengers is ahead of TDK and SM3 attendance wise for the weekend now?

[Jussslic]

I can't believe there's a chance this does 61m on Sunday. Crazy.Huffington Post estimated 25.6 million tickets compared to 22m for TDK/SM3... is that for real?

Yes

It's truly crazy that any movie could make THG's OW look almost, dare I say, insignificant but dammit if this doesn't nearly do just that.

[Magic]

If Sunday hits 60M my head is going to explode.Actuals are going to be really interesting.
