Why would that be?

When I was watching the sold out shows on twitter people kept complaining 2D was sold out so they went 3D.Also rallax theater showed a huge decrease for 3D percentage wise. It was 60-40 sunday today it was 50-50 Edited May 8, 2012 by eXtacy

Is TDK really going down? After the first TDK monday thread everyone went Titanic is going down.. didnt happen..What are the chances?

[redfirebird2008]

Wasn't TDK's monday drop much, much smaller? I know the summerdays help, but I don't get this talk about the best Monday drop in the last 10 years

It's the second best drop in the last 10 years for movies that opened in early May. Only SM1 pulled off a better Monday drop.

For summer openers.

You mean among movies that kickstart the "blockbuster season"?

Why would that be?

Spider-Man adj Monday is $15,042,300

TA has an 19 mil $ Monday. If 3D adds 15% to a gross it adds about 2.85 mil for TA. So at around 16.15 without 3D +.

It was like that on the weekend too though. If anything, the 3D ratio will drop on the weekends, but for the weekdays it should be basically the same as the previous weekend.

Problems with reading?

At this point, I'd say the chances are 75/25 that TDK is done.

Yep, as redfirebird said, the best drop in a decade.

SUMMER STARTS

The Monday was 75.6% ahead of THG.If it follows THG daily jumps/drops exactly from here, it will cross 600M by its 7th weekend.

Drop is great but when you factor in super strong Sunday hold than it becomes awesome.

[blackspider]

Great Monday for TA. I finally saw it last night at a 10 pm showing. I'd say 250 people were there in a 400 seater. It was a 2D showing so it might be true that the 3D share will go down since people that want 2D can now get it.

[druv10]

When factoring in Sunday drop than Monday drop is better than SM1.

If TA does hit 600M after all and then any chance that it does not get the #1 DOM of 2012 ?

[Hiccup]

Great Monday!

With $600m it's locked to win the year. Edited May 8, 2012 by lab276

The Dark Knight Rises and the Hobbit will not beat this. The Avengers will be the number one film of 2012.

What? Can't wait til December will be good times. In the past few days it has been said that the word locked has been used to loosely and this is a perfect example of that.
