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

[druv10]

lol. really

Yep, TDK had a sub 50% drop on Monday.

[Neo]

Yup, I'm feeling a TDK type Monday and reaction.

[druv10]

Can TA make more on Monday than TDK?

[baumer]

Biggest non-holiday May Monday? (I think SW ROTS is first there with something over 14 mil $)That possible?

14? I think it will destroy that...26 is my prediction.

TDK - 24MAvatar - 19MDMC - 18MROTS is down @ #9.

[eXtacy]

Yes, but it's still a working day. Day business is not the same as Saturday and Sunday.That's why I wrote 5 working days.It's part of the box-office weekend, but officially weekend days are Saturday and Sunday, the non working ones.

your logic is flawed, friday always makes more than sunday

WOM is ridiculously good, I would say 500m is locked.

That's quite a limb you just went out on there, buddy.

Since I s*ck at recognizing American holidays and had to click each may date to see if it's not Memorial Weekend Monday, I think that's the highest.http://www.boxofficemojo.com/alltime/days/f-th.htm?page=Mon&p=.htm Edited May 7, 2012 by Shantal

TA needs around a 57% drop to pass TDK's Monday. Not likely but who knows.

[Neo]

That is holiday Monday. Look at what I posted.

Absolutely. Not sure if it can beat the ticket sales though ($31m including inflation and 3D).

You do realize people have to work right?

[Totem]

That's quite a limb you just went out on there, buddy.

LOL Locked is still a strong word in my book, it should end up well over TDK

[baumer]

This could possibly be at 290 before Friday.

[redfirebird2008]

You do realize people have to work right?

People had to work today but it was sold out all night on Sunday.

How do you figure? If it does 57 mill sunday, it needs to drop about 55% to make 26 mill. It could drop almost 58% and still pass TDK' monday.

Rough ticket estimates for the record breakers:1983: Return of the Jedi - 7.31m1984: Temple of Doom - 7.54m1989: Batman - 10.20m1992: Batman Returns - 11.01m1993: Jurassic Park - 11.36m1995: Batman Forever - 12.13m1997: The Lost World - 15.72m2001: Harry Potter 1 - 15.95m2002: Spider-Man - 19.77m2006: Dead Man's Chest - 20.71m2007: Spider-Man 3 - 21.70m2008: The Dark Knight - 21.74m2012: The Avengers - 22.15m

YesI am think Avengers will hold onto these records from comic book movies for a long time. The next movie to break these records is Avengers 2.

OK, I's using dictionary definitions of work-days and weekend days. And the why I said it was correct.Also correct would be to say it has May workdays and one weekend.Pick one, it's all the same for me.And if we're talking about OW, you are mostly corret. But we are talking about second weekend and if you'll look, you'll see that's not the case. I just checked the first 4 movies with the biggest 2nd weekends. Sunday bigger than Friday in all 4 of them. Edited May 7, 2012 by Shantal
