druv10 Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Anybody thinks a 60% jump possible?Thor had 66% jump and TA's Friday was closer to it than other May openers. Its possible, I see a 55% jump but 60% is on the table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuart360 Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 'Avengers' earns $29.1 mil to rule Friday B.O. With a $29.1 million gross Friday, Disney's "The Avengers" is out adventuring for the soph sesh domestic B.O. record, but it may require a slightly stronger hold to beat it.Compared with last Friday, the actioner is performing 64% below its opening weekend. This is a reasonable drop for a B.O. buster like "Avengers," but if it persists through Sunday, pic will fall barely short of beating "Avatar's" second frame feat of $75.5 million Damn Variety really are clueless, i can't see how this doesn't beat 75mil.

Founder / Operator Shawn Robbins Posted May 12, 2012 Founder / Operator Share Posted May 12, 2012 In North America you take your Mom to see The Avengers?Check past similar films that fell on Mother's Day (Iron Man and Star Trek, namely). These types of films always hold very well that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Founder / Operator Shawn Robbins Posted May 12, 2012 Founder / Operator Share Posted May 12, 2012 I think we're looking at a $10m flat day for DS, and $29.5-30.5m for Avengers.Only about $400k off on Avengers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilmac Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Thor had 66% jump and TA's Friday was closer to it than other May openers. Its possible, I see a 55% jump but 60% is on the table.Saturday - There is a Game 7 in Los Angeles which will attract alot attention and a Game 1 2nd round which will garner less but could still depress L.A., Boston, Denver, and Philly markets. I'm rooting for a Thor like Saturday jump because it's the only avenue to $100million unless millions of sons everywhere take their moms to see TA on Sunday.

Biggestgeekever Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 The absolute max (and I mean the stars aligning, God coming down and making it happen, max) is $33m, which is roughly the same increase that Spider-Man 1 saw. Anything more than $30m would be a bit of a shock to me; I'm thinking around $29m. I thought Dark Shadows was going to do better though, so SHAME!
