So about 5m, lol.

lol, he was right.

[blackspider]

Nice. I predicted 4.8m yesterday. I knew some of you were predicting too harsh of a drop. Victoria Day didn't effect the BO that much, TA still dropped 67% on Monday.

[ZattMurdock]

And he would still be with a $4.8m, but it was entertaining to see it happening in the light of the recent posts.

What is your guess for today? 10%, 15% or more?

Very good but I am greedy plus I think Sunday could have a softer drop than what you have.

Dark Shadows increased. What to expect has a big increase 14%. Edited May 23, 2012 by ECSTASY

[druv10]

Dark Shadows increased.

It makes sense after the softer drop on Mothers day. Depp is still going strong with females.

He gave a reasonable prediction which actually has a possibility of happening.

Thanks buddy. My 4day range is 46-50 million. I of course want it to hit 50 million since I'm a fanboy.

[baumer]

I want to see TA have a great hold this weekend too, but wanting to see it fall less than 7% on Sunday seems way too optimistic to me.

[RTX]

Actually the opposite. If the 3D share dropped and the overall gross percentage drop was steady, that means attendance actually increased (in relative percentage) to offset the lost 3D revenue.If we look at 3D share for first weekend, second weekend and third weekend what I suspect we'll see is that TA's actual attendance is holding better than the final numbers indicate. In other words, the drop is in part due to a shift from 3D to 2D (and I also personally believe the number of children tickets purchases has increased, but there's no way to track that).

There really was no reason for 3D share to continue dropping after the 2nd weekend. We know it was at 60% on the OW, and possibly around 55% on the 2nd and 3rd.This weekend it's going to drop to 40% because of the loss of 3D screens.
