redfirebird2008 Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 What you have to keep in mind about TA though is it was early May and Nikki and THR were making stupid matinee projections off of it like it was the middle of summer, hence why they were lowballing it so bad. It's evening/night business was way better than matinees indicated, because they weren't accounting for the fact that it was early May. That won't be the case with TDKR. Matinees should give a fairly decent evening projection.Perhaps, but I would think Batman is more of a night movie than matinee movie by a long shot. TDK was lowballed every day because of the fact that they didn't realize how well it would do at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmoore Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 LOL Yeah but she makes it a point to say TDKR is shattering all of the Avengers records, lol.Unless people are holding off for the evening because they had awoken to the shooting news. It's possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayhem2x3 Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 How much does it NEED on Friday to break OW? Sat will be flat from Friday (minus the midnights), won't it? 80M OW = 50M sat, and no chance at 70M Sunday (to break the record). To have a chance, this needs Friday to be in the upper 90s, then a 60M+ sat and strong Sunday hold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gideon Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 So:All TDKR OW phases in this thread.Other movies too?This thread's base is sad/gutwrenching but "big" in numbers.Biggest OW thread in the making, it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAR Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 I just heard from my mom that one of my aunt and uncle's live three miles from the theater. They weren't there fortunately, they're both in they're late 70's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sims Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 (edited) I still think people's response to something like this fades quickly, even on the scale of hours. Matinees will be more impacted by this than night shows, guaranteed. Edited July 20, 2012 by Sims Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TLK Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Best thing about Nikki's updates is that she is counting 30 million presales on top of everything.85+10.5+30=125.5 million Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gideon Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 If OW record is "lost", would WB have the will/energy to PuertoRico the movie if really close to 200M?(i know, lot of "what if" situations) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmandeep Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 pretty much Friday needs to be around 95 million to have a chance at TA.As of now, early indiications are that TDKR is around TA business as of now in my area....However it appears late late night will be well ahead for TDKR.

superduperm Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 I just want to make a quick announcement:I was around BOM forums for DH2's release, and during OD... sellouts were... not that strong. Yet it managed $47.5M. The only explanation here is the amount of screenings. And there were a lot of them. Fill out just half of them and you have a humongous OD.TDKR has even more. So a low amount of sellouts doesn't necessarily mean low OD... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
