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

[Gopher]

Its the best story to most of us. Its a mammoth opening and that maks it a huge story.

But it's what the last three movies opened to (or what Eclipse would have opened to). Totally expected. Great opening, but the audience stayed flat with BD1. Not much else to comment on.

LOL What a weekend. . Got to laugh at all of the chest beating, philosophizing and hand wringing going on around here. The smoke has cleared BD2 is over 140m and Bond is over 40m all according to most predictions

[JCS]

Meh, thought it would be higher OW for BD2 like most other big franchise finales.

Twilight is not like most other big franchises.

$1b is not gonna happen.

EDIT:

Forgot China. But needs to do $100m there. Difficult.

Forgot Japan, Oz ?

Lets give it a quick breakdown:

With 50% week to week drop from current OS makerts, it will do 510M + 80M = 590M

Add 275M from DOM= 865M

AU 40M, Japan 35M, China 60M

1B WW is done. Not even a big stretch.

Yet BOM lists them separately. They still have it with Summit.

BOM is stupid

That, too.

Boring end results but pretty interesting way to get there.

And another 10M from smaller markets.So it has some buffer as well.

Yay, that's a good PTA for SLP. Would've preferred 30k but it's alright.

I see a decent hold for bd2 next week. A cinema score can take it to #1 again.

[Heretic]

Even though we just had one of the biggest openings ever, I can't help but feel this weekend was so incredibly boring.

[Jack Nevada]

In a post-Avengers world a 140M OW doesn't really move you in one way or antoher

[JackO]

I don't think Flight is hitting 100M. Lost it's big lead on Unstoppable this weekend.

Because everything performed within the expected range?

I can't believe John Carter is already on Starz.

I can't believe John Carter is already on Starz.

I just saw that it was and I thought the exact same thing.

[FTF]

if BD2 can get 300m domestic and 500m internationally. Then 800m is done

If you have 5 apples and Sally has 3 apples, that's 8 apples! Edited November 18, 2012 by FTF

Many roads leads to Rome you know
