Moviefanatic Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 http://www.boxoffice....com/071812.htmThe Avengers made roughly $177 million in just 2D...?I thought it would have been in the 180-185 range if it was a 2D movie? Some users were saying that was the number TDKR needed to do to tie TA OW attendance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lumos Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 There's a BIG difference between 160 and 180m.2nd highest OW and not 3rd. Whoa...it missed out big time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moviefanatic Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 (edited) Of course it's a big deal. Weren't you downplaying THG opening too? I've had just about enough of your nonsense this weekend, Potter. I want to like this 100 times because the gif matches the last sentence perfectly.

CloneWars Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Well, let's hope its legs are good and some sort of market correction occurs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impact Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Well I'm just glad that TDKR and Avengers both did good. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggestgeekever Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 I've been intentionally not commenting on the BO this weekend, partly because I felt any kind of discussion would be absolutely moot in the presence of such an unprecedented tragedy, but mostly because said tragedy had such a deep effect on me. I'll get some of the thoughts I've kept to myself down now:The Aurora shooting's effect on the BO is likely impossible to fully gauge for the moment, but just looking at the holdovers, the effect was absolutely enormous, bigger than any other single event I can recall. On that note, I just want to say that I'm quite frustrated with how many users I saw talking about how "ridiculous" it was that people were afraid to go to the theaters, when that's not entirely what happened. I won't deny that some people were afraid (and to be honest, that's a completely reasonable reaction), but I think the biggest reason why audiences didn't show up was because of the same way I felt: films are supposed to be escapism from life for various reasons, and in this case, going to the movies was a stark reminder of the horrible act that happened in Aurora. It's absolutely understandable and not in the least bit "stupid."In regards to just how much of an effect this had, again, I think it's completely unquantifiable, and may remain that way forever. Holdovers were annihilated in a way that doesn't even correspond to TDKR breaking the OW under "normal" circumstances, and whatever effect there was on the holdovers is even more pronounced for TDKR. But... it just seems so pointless to discuss it, especially in the context of saying "Well, of course it wouldn't break the OW record with these numbers!" That's so goddamned ridiculous, not just because of what I've stated prior, but (intentionally or not) you're trivializing the shooting AND using it to justify your predictions. I'm not going to make any claims that it would have broken the OW record or not, and no one else should.Lastly, I'm not sure when the BO will recover (or even if it fully will for the films this weekend), but given TDKR's Sunday hold, it seems like that we're already on our way. Hopefully, we'll see some very positive things in the next weeks for all. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Letsuseournoggin Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Of course it's a great number, but as box office enthusiasts we're a little floored by the fact that The Hunger Games had more walk up business when you exclude midnights. Let that marinate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impact Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Well I still don't feel like predicting though for next week...I just am not in the mood for it.My top 3 films of the year so far are-TDKR, Avengers and Brave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 (edited) Well I still don't feel like predicting though for next week...I just am not in the mood for it.I don't really do weekly predictions anymore anyway, but I understand how you feel. I hope it gets better, but I don't want to expect it to. Edited July 23, 2012 by tribefan695 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noctis Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 It's kind of funny how 160.8m is a dissappointing number for some people. Is it that big of a deal that it made 160M and not 180M? It still had no chance of breaking any records....Ugh, I hate this. Of course it did. I'm not sure why you think Potter is some kind of invincible force in the US.

Heretic Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 2nd highest OW and not 3rd. Whoa...it missed out big time.What? That's the most stupid statement. It's not really about the rankings, but 180m is simply a MUCH more impressive number than 160m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acsc1312 Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Duh, even if it had made "only" 180, it would've been a 2D record (and admission) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
