Estimated Wknd Numbers - BD2(141.3M) Skyfall(41.5M) Lincoln(21M)

[kayumanggi]

I'm still away but having quick look, thinking from initial 63-65m, BD2 might be heading more towards 68-70, might get chance better look later, Skyfall prob 12-13m

Good numbers. Thanks.

[kayumanggi]

so BD2 has an OD of 38-40 with 30 from previews? - that is disappointing

What did you expect?

What did you expect?

My calculations were pointing towards mid 70s at least.

135m for Twilight would be neither good nor bad in my book. I knew the finale factor wouldn't come into play like it did for DH2.

I had it at about 140-146.

LINCOLN is doing insane numbers!

What did you expect?

I expected (hoped for) a Midnight record

[Mango]

Hell yeah, go Skyfall!

Are you serious?

[Hatebox]

Was hoping for slightly better for Skyfall, I must admit, even if it did have a 135m opener to deal with.

Based on what?

If the $12-13 million estimate holds it's looking at $41-45 million for the weekend. That means at worst it holds slightly less than TDK did and at best slightly better than The Avengers did. Needless to say in this age of frontloadedness that is great.

Are you serious?

What is the current midnight record again?

Except it didn't even have a $100m OW, let alone a $150m or $200m one like the movies you mentioned. Don't get me wrong though, near 50% is a very solid hold for it. Amazing though would have been more along the lines of 40% given its OW number.

[Fanboy]

A drop less than 55% is great when you consider it's up against a movie that's opening above 130M.

No Opening Record For Final Twilight Saga? ‘Breaking Dawn Part 2′ Looks Like $65M Friday And $135M Weekend – $275M Worldwide? ‘Skyfall’ $12/$40M/$160M, ‘Lincoln’ $6.5M/$20M/$21.5M

[kayumanggi]

I'll just wait for the estimates.

[Rudolf]

To include Midnigths looks a little bit unfair, but now including previews seems totally dishonest. Puerto Rico,Canada they stop at nothing to blow up their result-reporting. I hope it backfires and gets relegated to a new category: highest 10pm-Thursday weekend- and nobody cares.

[Fake]

Good for Skyfall. Hope the final number is close to 13m (which I was predicting).
