That is for iJack, since he is the one that predicted a 50M OD. I think nobody predicted under 20M.

[Gideon]

There is. Tony Stark meets up with him and asks him to join... him in the bathroom to do a line of coke.

lolI think i'm in the minority minority of the Marvelfans for NOT wanting Spider-Man among the Avengers.

[redfirebird2008]

Dumb question but is Thursday a public holiday in the States?

Are you British? If so, you should know the answer already.

[Gideon]

So, this is basically one of Marvel fans' happiest years ever?

As a personal fav, 1999 stands high too.

Why?

lol. I know today is, just wondering if there's another one tomorrow. (I know now there isn't.)

That's for JackO, Baumer, aDIM and I can name a lot of haters. I agree Jack overestimated OD but he also admitted he doesn't know domestic BO while Baumer's a veteran.

Ignorance is not an excuse to break the law.

[redfirebird2008]

So AA, is my $320m prediction still "stubborn"? Looking pretty damn realistic I'd say.

[Fullbuster]

+1Yet, Baumer admitted he was wrong, not some other haters..

As Rudy T former Rockets head coach would say, "never underestimate, heart of a champion".

Why?

I'm reading almost every Marvel Comics published here but i still find odd Spider-Man (or Daredevil!) being part of a team.Spidey as a lonely superhero works much better.Among others heroes, he's often depicted as a sort of clown. It's tiring.Killing his marriage was a way to put him closer to his fans, to make him more accessible, more down-to-earth but what about putting him in a superteam?Lacks coherence.Spider-Man as an avenger reminds me that he's a BRAND before being a character.From my naive point of view, that's a little sad.(And don't even start me about his FF inclusion lol)

I agree but uber excitement for once's movie is understandable.

This is quick repost from another tread in june, all I was saying about Tuesday

Mathematical certainty? Not. I don't put much stock in how predecessors tracked, but even looking at IM shows that every tuesday dropped from monday between opening w/e and july 15th except 6/3 (+8.6) and 7/8 (+0.6). 9 of 11 were drops, including 5 of 7 in june and july. You may be right, and it may be more likely, but this is not a mathematically provable concept.

It's 100% guaranteed to increase today. I'd bet my life savings, my house,my stock options at work and my RRSP's. IM came out 4 years ago before discount Tuesdays took off.-----

Don't disagree with you about increase Tuesday, but on your comment about discount tuesdays your refering to Canada right its had discount Tuesdays since the early 80's and even though few years back some cinemas in major cities stopped and restarted, discount Tuesdays have always had increase in Canada BO and market share regardless of if the NA total for the day went up or down from Monday.

couple quick Examples

TA week1 tuesday

USA -11% from Mon

Can +58% from Monday and mkt share increased by 6%

NA -7%

Iron Man

week 1 tuesday

USA -10%

Can +22% +5% mkt share

NA -6%

Week5

USA +4%

Can +70% +4% mkt share

NA +9%

Spider-man

week1 Tues

USA -22%

Can +70% mkt share doubles

NA -10%

week5

USA -1%

Can +108% mkt share doubles

NA +10%

Holy crap! Canada has huge Tuesday increases! Imagine if the US had the same, Tuesdays would be crazy. Do you have some examples of Wednesday drops rth?

[Caladbolg]

35 OD on a Tuesday is great for TASM. I wonder what the number would have been had it opened on Friday, 55+?

[FilmBuff]

Great for Spidernan.
