pinocchio Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 And it took me a while to try and ignore the admissions argument for this kind of thing. It gets even murkier when you have different ticket prices for different movies nowadays. The only way you can judge it is on dollars. People still have to part with it. Hell, you can argue Titanic wouldn't have sold as many tickets as it did if it was as expensive as it is today. Different era. We're in a recession for crying out loud. That's got to count for something?The only way you CAN'T judge it is in dollars. There's something called inflation out there. Ben-Hur in 59 had a huge 15 million dollar budget. Try to make the same flick with that money today...And the recession argument doesn't matter either. In the Great Depression people went to the movies more often than today.

rockNrollaDIM Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 (edited) How in the hell did this get a 96m int'l weekend? It's already opened everywhere, right? What kind of drop is that?This isn't just going for 1.4b, I think new goal is 1.5-1.6b. Jesus! Edited May 13, 2012 by rockNrollaDIM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
code65536 Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 BTW, with regards to the weekends-all-in-one-thread deal, I think this would work much better if the first post of the thread (not just the thread title, since so little could be said in a title) is updated with each significant piece of incoming news.* Otherwise, trying to find out what's going on in these large threads is just horribly unmanageable. * Ideally, each update adds to the post instead of wiping out the previous information, so that people could at a glance see how the numbers and predictions changed as the thread evolved and so that the context to the earlier posts could be preserved. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmandeep Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 (edited) So any real competition coming overseas soon???"How in the hell did this get a 96m int'l weekend?

redfirebird2008 Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 Oh, dear, a $96m weekend overseas means it could potentially dethrone DH2 overseas. It's going to happen. I have one piece of advice: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuart360 Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 If Avatar made 750M and tied TDK with ticket sales how can Avengers beat it?If you Google it, there are reoprts of anything from AVATAR selling 5mil to 9mil more tickets than TDK. The difference between each films gross is about 230mil and even if AVATAR had been a 3D ONLY film, it wouldn't be 230mil ahead of TDK if they had sold the same amount of tickets so it sold quite a few more obviously.
