To those who predicted 5 M midnights, here's a serving:

Those who predicted 10M+ also need that.

Let's see in the Summer game, I said yes to making 5 million but no to 7 million, I think I'll pass on the crow.

I think I said the same thing

[iceroll]

Well at least they were on the "support" side. And the others? The I know it all side? Crap.

7.5m isn't exactly a win for the "support" side either. It's right smack dab between mediocre and good. Nobody "wins" with that number so stop pretending that you're so much more right.

+1 to that. We were so close too.

Let me get this straight.Those that said $15-20m for midnights don't get crow despite being a hell of a lot more wrong than those predicting $5m?

THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN netted $7.5M @ midnight screenings--the same total as SPIDER-MAN 3.

I'm pretty sure Spider-Man 3 was reported as $10m though.

Well with inflation, IMAX and 3D that isn't much to crow about in terms of expanding the audience it would seem.

Kayu get yourself together man!

[narniadis]

[ecstasy]

Those are some fantastic holds for Mike, Avengers and Ted.

[Olive]

nobody cares these numbers any more

[baumer]

nobody cares these numbers any more

True. lol

That Brave hold is the best Pixar hold among similar releases on the same day in its run. Rat dropped 53.4% and Wall E dropped 54.4% on their second Monday. Hold the phone. Brave is not falling apart.**Choosing these comparable titles since these were the two Pixar films released in late June.

Probably a silly question, but I take it everything is gonna have huge increases(like a Friday almost) today since everybody has tomorrow off?

[doublejack]

TA's staying power is amazing. Almost three quarters of a million on the 9th Monday? Are you kidding me??? The only movies with a better per theater average are the openers and Brave, and it is beating movies that opened a month after it in the dailies now, such as Prometheus. I'm wondering if 630m is possible. A 3x multi is locked.

Based on the last time the 4th was a Wednesday, Tuesday will increase slightly and then big increases on Wednesday.

I'd expect an increase for sure since tomorrow is a holiday and it is also discount Tuesday, but I don't think it will be like a Friday. This is an outdoor centric holiday with lots of evening fireworks and such. Tomorrow there should be another increase, but again not really like a Saturday. Thursday's drop could be fairly soft since many people take vacation to extend the holiday, too.
