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

[Ariadne]

Another thing to point out. RS>MTC rule will fail on TA.

Let's be thanfkul for that. I'm surprised MTC lowballed it to be honest.

[RichWS]

So, with 70M flat18.1M Midnights51.9M Friday55.1M Saturday (+6.2%)38.7M Sunday (-29.8%)163.8M OW

I think it can get to $172M with $70M.

[spizzer]

Yeah, that looks like a pretty good estimate for now. Pity, I was really hoping this would break the record.

Evening show reports from the West Coast are still not 100% in. I expect an increase for the final estimate. It needs about 72M to match the OW record, and anything higher will likely give it the record.

How does that go?

[spizzer]

I think it can get to $172M with $70M.

How?

[druv10]

Just woke up to this fine number

Could you ask your buddy about the general with Thanos?

[Lordmandeep]

If MTC is below RS tracking, a film will open well below expectations.The great example that the rule got credibility from the opening of IM2 that opened below everyone expectations.

[riczhang]

How?

Saturday could be higher than 55 Million, and I think it might very well be, especially with its WOM, but I still think that 60M is a bit too far away to reach.

[spizzer]

Let's be thanfkul for that. I'm surprised MTC lowballed it to be honest.

MTC has always had issues with 3D films. It makes sense that they would, because it's not a factor they'd be able to as effectively measure

I don´t understand the question

[Ariadne]

Let's hope so - and maybe Hawaii, Puerto Rico, American Samoa and Guam can give it that extra push.

[Chewy]

I can't really remember MTC ever going much higher than 140 so I wasn't surprised by their number

[spizzer]

For the record, I still think the OW is possible, largely because I think Friday is still underestimated.

[RichWS]

How?

Friday - $70MSaturday - $59.4M (-15.1%)Sunday - $42.0M (-29.3%)$171.4M. It's not quite $172M, but I think it can take the record. I fully expect the Friday number to go higher. Edited May 5, 2012 by RichWS

Okay I've been working at my movie theater for the past 8 hours. All I can say is judging from my theater, I was sure this was hitting 70-75m. We had to add shows and all shows were sold out after 4 pm.Anyone want to update me what I've missed over the past 9 hours or so?

Nikki's current estimate is $70m. Some of us here think it will end up around $75m.

That's a 14% increase on Saturday from Friday without midnights. That's higher than any of the previous Avengers films

Her number's been steadily increasing all day and I don't think it's stopping here.

[druv10]

I don´t understand the question

What I mean is, ask him the name of the general? is he known in the comic books?
