Weekend Actuals page 66 TA: 55.6m BS: 25.5m ; SW EP1 $293!

This weekend for Avengers...will be my first time.

ah yes we all remember our first time.

Wow, 14m is definitely disappointing to me for TA if that's right. That's only about a 125% increase. Honestly was expecting it to increase 150% at the very least today, and hoping it could pull near 200%. Hopefully that number will go up. Not one bit surprised at the openers though. I totally aced Expecting and BS.

BS I wouldn't have said 11-12m could be wrong but more like 8-10 closer to 8 see what happens, Dictator yeah at least 5 prob closer to 6, WTE around 4.5 sounds about right, DS 4m mark & TA atm would say 16-18

This was posted in the main thread but simply has to be posted again.

Hallelujah!!! Thanks had not seen that. Only saw Nikke's latest. That's much better.

everytime a movie bombs i'm reminded of this http://www.deadline.com/2011/08/conan-the-barbarian-screenwriter-answers-whats-it-like-to-flop-at-the-box-office/ so sad

[MovieMan89]

Damn, even my 23m BS OW prediction is gonna be too high if it only does 8m today. I said it kind of jokingly earlier this year after JC bombed, but Taylor Kitsch really must be box office poison...

With 16 million it makes 57 million and with 18 it flies past 60 million.Nonetheless anything over 55 puts in a great position to be huge till past memorial day.

[Moviefanatic]

Hope TA number is 18 million

[Lordmandeep]

Its a bad weekend but TA has locked it self to be on track to 600 million now.The number is right RTH range is never wrong...I think with the holds will be stronger then expected and it should end up near 60 million.Anyways anything over 55 is woh...

With 18m it has a small shot at 70m. Sat increase is bound to be big, should be bigger than last week's.

Smart to comment this early, Rth, baumer is only about 3-4 beers deep at this point.

Same here. 18M would be beyond awesome.

[Gopher]

18m 28m (+56%) 20m (-29%) Mid sixties seems like the high end. The Avengers is like a weird megablockbuster mutant. It opened huge and now legs are really good. It's like Batman and Avatar had a baby and named it, well, Avengers.

[Lordmandeep]

With such big Sat it will drop around 25% on Sunday (plus Holiday in Canada)I agree RTH does a very nice thing to give us some numbers, it is something no other forum has.Now he is giving us numbers quite early then before and still gives an accurate range.You cannot expect anyone to give a perfect estimate so early.So RTHThanks for your numbers, they have been great.
