MM was blowing Ted out in presales.

Ted was still preselling high. It's not like it wasn't on the list like some other movies that are opening soon.

[iceroll]

Magic Mike will get a rise in the evening for sure.

[Deep Wang]

Precisely, presales aren't be all end all.

This is very true, but sometimes its all we have to go on. Presales are actual proof of some kind of demand for a movie, there is no denying that. Sometimes that is all the demand, sometimes it isn't.

[fmpro]

Yeah, I expect Mike to "get up" as well.

But not enough to bet on it huh

[ecstasy]

I remember something last week from Fandango presales were Ted and TASM were low and MM pretty high...Just saying that TASM is´ent dead yet, Ted proved that today

Well I think Magic Mike's number is gonna go up a lot though. There are a lot of evening sell outs. Nikki is basing her numbers on matinee trends and presales.

30M will still be a huge opening no matter what. It just won't hit our huge expectations.

[Jack Nevada]

Damn, Magic Mike has already made twice it's budget, in one day.

Ted was 3rd on Fandago top 5. Spider Man has never been on the list to my knowledge. 2 completely different animals. And nevermind the fact it is is barely even through matinees in pacific timezone.

Exactly!

[Dragon]

I approve of these magic mike numbers

I expect it to go a littler higher later on

Those sellouts count as presales. Studios keep track of these numbers.

Ted entered Fandango charts 3 days before release and only accounted for 7% of all sales on Wednesday evening when MM was at 52-53%.

okay good point.

[Taylor]

So much for Mike "topping" Ted.

[rockNrollaDIM]

I expect Magic Mike will show a lot of stamina in evening shows, it could potentially play all night.

Just saying that MM was outselling Ted like 4:1 and now it looks like Ted wil do 25-35% more than MM

What he said

[rockNrollaDIM]

I think this number from Nikki is a bit premature, in a few hours it should be much more solid.

[YoursTruly]

I don't get all the interest in Ted. Even the red band trailer was severely unfunny. I guess audiences were going through raunchy comedy withdrawal.
