CJohn Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 (edited) http://www.deadline....550k-midnights/ FIRST BOX OFFICE: ‘Dark Shadows’ Disappointing $27M-$30M Weekend: ‘The Avengers’ Nearing $1B Global Cume & $80+M Domestic FRIDAY 4:30 PM UPDATE: Remember that these reports from my sources are still early. Warner Bros’ vampire sendup of the vintage TV series Dark Shadows began its release weekend by making a so-so $550K during idnight screenings overnight. But the re-teaming of Johnny Depp and Tim Burton isn’t drawing blood at the box office and only creeping out of the gate with about $10M today for at best a $32M weekend unless there’s a turnaround. Even with weeks of soft tracking, the comedy thriller was predicted to earn a minimum of $35M. But it should have opened to at least a $40M-$50M weekend with the popular Depp-Burton push that last sent Alice In Wonderland grosses soaring worldwide. Meanwhile the biggest is getting still bigger: Marvel’s The Avengers from Disney looks like around $25M for the day and a huge $80M second weekend. That means the holdover will drop only 70% after its record-setting domestic weekend opening. So what’s the total haul so far? Coming into Friday it’s North America $270M and internataional $533.3M for a global cumulative of $803.3M. Disney thinks $1B is possible for its superhero juggernaut through Sunday.

CJohn Posted May 11, 2012 Author Share Posted May 11, 2012 80M+ is a quite good first estimate. People expecting over 100M were dreaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackspider Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 80M+ is a quite good first estimate. People expecting over 100M were dreaming. 100m isn't a dream number. It's extremely possible and I see TA doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cedarpoint1111 Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 80m+ is just a conservative guess. It will go up to 90+ and then 100+ and then 120+ and then back to 100. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichWS Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Everybody should do some sort of a breathing exercise when they see Nikki's first numbers. Also repeat aloud, "4 PM, 4PM, it's only 4PM!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without numbers it's basically meaningless. Anyone in the world could've said $80m+ -- all she wants to do is mark her territory that it's a Record Second Weekend so she can say "TOLDJA!" later. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
