Thursday Box Office 5/17/2012 Avengers 6.2 (402M) Dictator 2.8 (7M) DS 1.7 (38M)

Not really. Falling 32% from a Wednesday opening seems pretty common to me.http://boxofficemojo...id=diehard4.htmhttp://boxofficemojo...scarymovie2.htmYou can't just look at the drop and declare it bad. You have to put it in context.

What kind of increase are you expecting for TD on Friday?

[CJohn]

Dictator's drop is normal. The weekend will decide his failure or success.

[CJohn]

Any news about Battleship midnights?

[druv10]

With this Thursday number we are definitely looking at 60M+ weekend for TA.

Battleship is selling more tickets though, so there is some consolation.

Friday - 15.5Saturday - 23 (38.5)Sunday 15.4 (53-55 range)

Saturday jump is to small while Sunday drop is too high. Saturday jump will be over 50% at least while Sunday drop will be in the mid to high 20's.

That is awful. I still believe in 30M since this has no fanbase like Dark Shadows/John Carter.

Not good. I have a hard time seeing BS hit 40M for OW now. It might miss 30M which would be shocking. Edited May 18, 2012 by druv10
