May 7 - 10, 2012 Weekday Numbers: AVENGERS 12.5 Thurs pg 61

Can any non holiday movie in the next few years beat TDK's epic first Monday??

non holiday/non summer? probably not.

This doesn't need to be at 15 mill come Thurs to have a shot at 100 mill 2nd weekend. It will prob drop 15% today to about 14.5 and thurs will prob be at 13 on Thurs. That still puts in line for 100.

Wow what a great drop, if it can hold above 15m then I believe in a 100m weekend.

With 15M Thursday, we are looking at 115-120M 2nd weekend

Please don`t get adjusted down. Please, please, please!

Why did the Tuesday thread merge with Monday thread?

[Shawn Robbins]

Merged with Monday's threads.Actuals forthcoming.

Why did the Tuesday thread merge with Monday thread?

All weekday numbers will be discussed in one thread going forward (same with weekend numbers). Helps keep things a lot more organized.

Yeah what the hell? If they want one thread they should announce it before hand.

I honestly thought it would drop more - around 15% like Potter, but I'm guessing this being early May made the difference...

I think today's number is much more important. If it drops 15% I will start believing the 100M second weekend talk. If it drops more, like 25%, then 600M is unlikely.

Absolutely it did. Summer weekdays are always stronger, and Potter dropped only 49.5% from Sunday-Monday. It HAD to drop substantially more on Tuesday.

On the other hand, Tuesdays this year have been exceptionally strong. Obviously a blockbuster film is not going to see the usual increase on its first Tuesday, but the expected drop should have been much lower than usual.

Well, it's not like I have a personal stake in this.

Didn't you have this dropping at 12% for Tuesday?

I have to disagree. It's less threads but the thread itself becomes unwieldy, especially for big movies or holidays when weekdays behave similar to weekends. Threads get pushed down rather quickly anyway, so i don't think the first page would be cluttered with weekday threads. Edited May 9, 2012 by Elessar

I'm not sure why we're keeping everything in one thread?It's not like we've got an easy way to find pages either. You have to keep pressing back to get to a middle page.

[lab276]

I think it'll drop 25% for Wednesday, and no less than 20%.

[spizzer]

My projection system had it dropping 12.4% down to $16,550,776, yes. As I've said earlier though, its accuracy increases with more data.

[BK007]

Not to mention that there's no link to where the first daily starts, and even then, how would you even get to the page without a direct link?
