It would need to have the same 6-day multiplier as SM2 to hit 300. With TDKR cutting into its late legs, that's pretty much impossible.

I'm not having a meltdown unlike someone else.

True. This is his forever purpose in life. To follow a film he doesn't like. What a waste of time.

[John Marston]

how can anyone defend this pathetic behavior many are showing here? We are happy that the film looks like it is doing better than what the Wed/Thursday grosses were indicating and we are called loonies for doing so. Bullshit

[JackO]

that doesn;t mean though that ASM is going to totally die like many people here think it will.

Did you miss May 2012? did you read why Universal is moving Bourne? Yes, it is going to destroy everything in it's path that is not heavily female or kid skewing. Something TASM is not.

Shhhhh....facts and logic are not allowed here!

Just had flashbacks to Hellboy 2's 70%+ 2nd weekend drop. The rest of its weekend drops after were 50% or more. It really was a massacre.

And to followup with that comment, Hellboy 2 opened likely at what TASM may have for its second weekend, $34 million. So yes, they are comparable.

When did this board turn so negative? Why the f*** was Ijack banned for supporting Spiderman?

[druv10]

I conceded 300M isn't happening but to say 280M is a bad total is laughable.You're rolling your eyes but you sound exactly like BKB right now. He makes absolutely 0 coherent points with his hate for TDKR and you just joined him in that exclusive club.

yeah ASM is going to drop 90% when TDKR opens right? And then all the way to 0 right after right?

[druv10]

Your facts are :rotfl: :rotfl: .

[kayumanggi]

You're right and it won't happen.Summer 2007, SM3 was THE event.Summer 2012, TASM is not THE event.

SM lll was not THE event film overseas in 2007. It was POTC: AWE and OOTP.

[Gideon]

TDKR is going to demolish everything in its path. It is the exact same target audience as TASM! Not to mention that it is following one of the most loved and talked about movies last decade.TASM doesn't have a chance in hell to coexist.

[FilmBuff]

Shhhhh....facts and logic are not allowed here!

That's an oxymoron for you.

ASM will drop more than 50% from it's Fri-Sun number, especially since it had a 6-day weekend. It's looking at 60m for Fri-Sun, so ASM won't make above 30m in its 2nd weekend.

a midweek opening doesn't make a second weekend drop worse, it usually makes it better

It's looking at 64M+ so 30M next weekend is definitely possible.

remember though ASM is a hated film that is getting toxic WOM, at least according to everyone here

[tonytr87]

6-day total: 135m2nd wknd: 26m (Ice Age)3rd wknd: 12m (TDKR)4th wknd: 7m...and so onThis eventually comes out to 250-255m. Not a complete flop but surely a disappointment, reboot or not. Sony did not give ASM a 230m production budget with the hope of making only 250-260m in the U.S.

[tonytr87]

Sure, if it increases well on Sat. But Nikki's multipliers are always off, and I don't see much of an increase if at all.

Ugh.May 2007 was that odd month where we had three threequels that each topped $300 million, and no one was happy with any of them.
