iceroll Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Yeah I need Taken 2 to finish with less than 140m dammit! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Marvel Fanboy Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 So 13.1m from IMAX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichWS Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 I still think Bond drops 55-60% against Twilight.I think 55 tops. I know it's a big opening, but 60 seems too steep with this kind of word of mouth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted November 11, 2012 Author Share Posted November 11, 2012 I don't think it's the word of mouth that is going to affect bond. It's the fact that there is a film opening to 140 mill next weekend and that will monopolize the market Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peludo Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 BOM says for Skyfall: 90 DOM / 428.6 OS / 518.6 WW. This whole week it has done 139 million OS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceroll Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Next weekend:BD2: 145mSkyfall: 40mWreck it Ralph: 19mLincoln: 16mFlight: 9mArgo: 4.5mTaken: 2.5mHere Comes the Boom: 1.5mPitch Perfect: 1.3m239m Close to the record but it won't get it unfortunately. Unless Breaking Dawn gets a big finale boost and does 160m and Lincoln makes 20m+ from 1500 theaters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impact Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 So happy for Skyfall! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceroll Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Yeah even if the audiences don't cross, BD2 will take up a lot of showings next weekend. Skyfall could go from 12-16 showings a day to 8 next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gopher Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 (edited) I still think Bond drops 55-60% against Twilight.Quantum dropped 60%. Skyfall has already proven itself to be less frontloaded and I think WOM is really strong. Twilight will do 140 or so but I don't see more than a 55% drop for Skyfall. Maybe closer to 50 flat.I think the bigger factor is Lincoln which is going after adults. Edited November 11, 2012 by Gopher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When a 130m+ opener opens theaters will give more showtimes for that movie and cut it for the other movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder / Operator Shawn Robbins Posted November 11, 2012 Founder / Operator Share Posted November 11, 2012 Yeah, I'm sure some of the female interest in Skyfall this wknd will transfer over to BD2 next wknd (don't think women have been this interested in a Bond movie in a very long time), but the WOM is proving itself and Twilight could be considered counter programming to an extent.I'll wait until official numbers are in Monday but right now I have a hard time seeing Skyfall miss 40m next week.

With Twilight, exhibitors know what to expect already and the audience pattern isn't likely to change at this point. I'm sure both it and Skyfall will start out maximizing showtimes onFriday. I wouldn't even be surprised to see BD2 dropped for half the day on premium screens after a day or two in release. They know Skyfall is settling in for a long run.

baumer Posted November 11, 2012 Author Share Posted November 11, 2012 It's not like I'm saying bond will drop 65 percent I'm just saying 55-60% seems reasonable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gopher Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Argo dropped more than usual but it's still doing quite well and should hit 100 by Thanksgiving. Pitch Perfect could end around 70. Taken 2 WILL NOT DIE. Good weekend for most holdovers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During OW when half the business is made, movie theaters are keeping as many showings for it as they can to meet demand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#ED Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 So Skyfall will begin to show legs in 2 weeks?Big drop next week and stay flat after? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Marvel Fanboy Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 SKYFALL SHOULD BE ABLE TO DO AT LEAST 950M WW AFTER ALL SAID AND DONE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
