The Official TASM Weekly Thread (6 Day EST-140m) (Warning: Whiten Out Spoilers/Spoiler Tags)

[Hatebox]

Annoyingly this number tells us nothing about how it'll perform, except that most of the SM fanbase were happy to see it. Roll on Sunday night estimates.

[Neo]

I expected bigger numbers because I don't have a real grasp on how this numbers work. As soon as we get the first weekend numbers we'll have a better shot at where this is going.Neo, updated estimates/predictions?

What do you mean? My predicts?

[Fake]

The under 200M club has been in trouble since it was made

Yup.... I never thought it stood a chance..... but I have been waiting for real numbers to say it.

[kayumanggi]

Exactly.

Lol Is 7.5 M what you expected?

Have a try:

[Shawn Robbins]

TF3 also had sneak previews the day before it opened

Those were the $5.5m he listed.

[fmpro]

Where are you guys getting this idea that midnights were discounted? :huh:Discount Tuesdays generally only apply for actual Tuesday shows. Midnight shows are rarely, if ever, discounted.

A poster wrote that earlier

[lab276]

Yep. Going to perform like TF1 I think. $320m or so.

Why would its legs be that good?

[redfirebird2008]

Once you account for Discount Tuesday prices hurting the gross and then also account for 3D prices helping the gross, $7.5m is very likely what it would have made as a 2D Wednesday release. Solid start. Baumer's club is in trouble.

[Neo]

How much did TF1 make on midnights?

Yeah, this is what I'm wondering. My midnight ticket said "late Monday evening showing." I would think that fine print means the theaters DON'T have to discount.

[Hiccup]

Solid number

We had one report of a member of the board and SEVERAL on twitter. I also find it odd, but it happened.

[Deep Wang]

Any and all crow should remain chilled until Friday at the very least.

[kayumanggi]

Oh grow up. I think it's a boring number, CLEARLY I MUST BE A HATERRRRRR

Putting words into my mouth eh? Where's your midnight number prediction?Want another serving?

[doublejack]

For a midnight Tuesday that had discounts and full of kids? Fuck yeah. TF 3 wasn't that far bigger, I reckon?

At a midnight showing? :lol:

Nope. If anything, the percentage of the crowd that was made up of children was significantly lower than what TASM will see during the rest of its run. Kids are in bed long before midnight, dude.

[theultimatebiu]

No crow for anyone. Its a decent number but nothing earth shattering. Its below SM3 which did not have 3D premiums or the number of IMAX screens to help it but it is a Monday night so a lot of people won't go.It's decent just like the movies box office gross will be. So everyone calm down.

[RichWS]

Lol Is 7.5 M what you expected?

Have a try:

I said to keep it in the fridge and I predicted 7.1 so yes, it was expected.

[John Marston]

this is a fine number for a superhero film and considering it was a Monday night instead of the usual Friday. Anyone trying to spin this as bad is very desperate

[Shawn Robbins]

But on Friday nights.

SM3 was on a school night. Comparing to midnight numbers from 2006 and 2007 is pretty silly on Sony's part, but I get why they're doing it. Midnights weren't nearly as popular back then (hence why even Potter didn't much more than that at the time). DMC had a "decent" midnight figure and still went on to break the opening record. Midnights just weren't as much of a factor then.

[Heretic]

But on Friday nights.

Everyday is a Friday in the summer!
