So basically 50~100% increase from B1 opening.Looking for 550M~600M OS if it holds.

I don't understand, why would anyone who hasn't seen the last one want to see this one?

There are just more Twi-fans than you might think.

Or it could just be further frontloadedness. It is the finale after all.

why should the finale be more frontloaded than the others?The fans see all installations. Should they do less repeats for the last one?The recreational viewers that would rather see the last one have no reason to rush early.

Exactly, maybe the final one will get more repeat views (than previous).

What are you talking about? First day numbers from France show, that BD 2 seems way more frontloaded.If you do the calculation, BD1 actually had a better wednesday without previews.

An increase on OD doesnot necessarily mean more frontloaded.

Unless you have following numbers.

I said earlier $500M OS, that is now locked!

It increased with tuesday previews and decreased on actual opening wednesday (if all the numbers posted above are correct).To me that's frontloadedness.

500m isn't locked yet.

The previews included marathons. That's why they are inflated.

I don't know..... because finales are always more frontloaded (without exception)?
