560M is where I have this landing after that Monday number.

I had it at 570mil and that was with my prediction of 8.4mil for today, i'm still sticking with my 570mil prediction though.

Can you imagine that scene done today?, it would be all cgi and wouldn't look half as good ot have anywhere near the same impact.

I always prefer traditional effects. I mean, look at something like the original Star Wars or Gremlins. With traditional effects it feels like those critters are really there. And yes, traditional explosions are way more badass than CG

What do you have it for the weekend?

[Gideon]

Gremlins. With traditional effects it feels like those critters are really there.

Yes!

Anti-example: the sabertooth tiger in 10000. (saw the movie recently)

[seduh]

I expected a little more but it's a good number, i remember taht SpiderMan 2nd weekdays were much lower than the first (comparing to the second weekend drop) but then it went up by 240% on Friday, I don't expect the same here (Attack of the clones open the thrusday before) but this friday increase will be much bigger than the 136% increase this friday

[stuart360]

What do you have it for the weekend?

About 55mil, maybe slightly under but arond 55mil

[ecstasy]

About 55mil, maybe slightly under but arond 55mil

I think that's a good number. I have it a little bit higher but under 60m

[lilmac]

I had it at 570mil and that was with my prediction of 8.4mil for today, i'm still sticking with my 570mil prediction though.

I'm also less confident in $600 million. Whenever I run the numbers to when the dailies are $100-$150k, I can never get to $600 million, let alone $650m. My final prediction is $590 million.

I hope I'm off by something like $45 million though.

[Impact]

Who would of thought we have a film make 400M in under 2 weeks anytime soon? WOW.

[Jack Nevada]

Isn't it nice to have a good ol' daily thread again?

[ecstasy]

Who would of thought we have a film make 400M in under 2 weeks anytime soon? WOW.

Not me.

[Olive]

And my final prediction is $570-590 million.

[ecstasy]

Thread title needs to be changed.

[Olive]

Last month, I thought 420m would be TA's final gross!silly me.

[ecstasy]

Last month, I thought 420m would be TA's final gross!silly me.

LOL I went through some of the early predictions and hardly any were over 350m

[Gideon]

Hmm reading all your latter posts.. maybe it's reasonable to say "byebye" to the 600 figure.

[Biggestgeekever]

Using the same Monday-Weekend ratio as Iron Man, it'd get $65.4m. The three openers this week will hit it a bit harder than Prince Caspian did Iron Man, so I think $58-60m is where it'll land.

Around-the-World Roundup: 'Avengers' Reaches $1 Billion Worldwide

by Ray Subers

The Avengers

May 13, 2012

With official grosses reporting on Monday, it's official—The Avengers has joined the fabled $1 billion worldwide box office club. The movie reached this level on its 19th day in theaters, which ties the record-breaking pace of Avatarand Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2(though The Avengers was only playing in the U.S. for ten of those days). It currently ranks 12th on the all-time worldwide chart with $1.000.4 billion, and by the end of next weekend it will move up to fourth place behind Avatar, Titanic and Deathly Hallows Part 2.
