Well one would expect the largest part of demand and repeat demand to have burned off at this point. That's not a revolutionary thought. The fact it's still holding so well indicates that $600m is practically certain.Not many films get $20m in their 5th weekend, that stat alone speaks to where TA is headed even still.

<p>Can someone here please update the remaining run of TA, walking us through how it gets to 600 (easily?) Just off the top of my head with some random numbers I have some worries about dropping theater counts (& loss of mostly all of its 3D theaters) in the coming weeks with all the new films coming out:532M as of now20 M this weekend(?)7M weekdays next week11 M next weekend(?)4M weekdays week after next------------------"only" 574 Million-ish as of Thurs 14 JuneIs 600 million still a cakewalk for TA? Talk me down off a ledge please? lol

If it has average drops from here on out then $600m is in the bag, but if it starts following Spider-man3's drops then it will get interesting. My figures show it finishing around $615m by using the average drops of IM, IM2, and Thor. Edited June 2, 2012 by Punishment

I didn't say it was a revolutionary thought. And I didn't say it wouldn't make 600m. I was just saying what I thought about this weekend. Edited June 1, 2012 by ECSTASY
