Thanks for the link!!! Lots of helpful information on that page!

Yeah, why did you stop posting under your Sheldon Cooper name? Was it banned?

Are you kidding me? Someone was so pathetic as you create 2 accounts to try to pump up their movie. Wow, what a loser. He must really care what we think about his precious movie.

How long's he gone for?

I think it's a week or two.

What are you talking about? It is clearly on pace for a three-day take of $125m.That is more or less what he would say.

Really?Last I checked he was pulling for a six day opening of over 200M, which included an OD gross of over 50M.After the 7.5M midnight, he was constantly saying it would do 42.5M during the day to get that gross up to 50M. Edited July 6, 2012 by Jay Beezy

First of all, Rth's original estimate last night was 15.8-16.8 -- so once again, he basically nailed it.

Secondly, the number is not great for Spidey, but it's completely expected. It's very similar to the TRANSFORMERS post-Fourth drop.

Thirdly, don't expect a big Friday bump at all. TRANSFORMERS jumped 18%. I'd be surprised if TASM goes above 21% -- I think the range is +16-21% today.

Is this going to hit 250?

[Walt Disney]

The "Webb is inexperienced argument" is moot since Nolan was considered inexperienced when he did BB.

Except Nolan had already made an amazing movie in Memento, which was a psychological thriller. Which actually makes him a good choice to direct BB and TDK, with 2 villains who use mind games (Raz and Joker) and a superhero that does the same (Batman).Webb made a rom com.

$75m + $125m = $200m 6 dayI'm implying that he wouldn't give up hope of his $200m OW.

I don't know even movies like Harry Potter 6 and Transformers 2 jumped between 21-26% on their first Friday. One had a huge, frontloaded book audience and the other was a sequel and was supposedly getting poor WOM

[John Marston]

yeah, it should still reach that number

[Shawn Robbins]

Expected drop. Almost exactly what I projected yesterday afternoon (below). I originally calculated $15.9m but rounded it up figuring that Sony would get it to the $16m somehow.

Still think it sticks to this trajectory.

Assuming $23.4m Wednesday:

Thu: $16m (-32%)

Fri: $18.9m (+18%)

Sat: $21.4m (+13%)

Sun: $18.8m (-12%)

3-day: $59.1m

6-day: $133.5m
