The issue is some people see estimates from Rth at 1AM and almost take them as final, you know?

Yes, because he is a God.

True but he has explained many times, his early numbers are extrapolations. He has data and uses it to make guesstimates. People need to realize being off by few 100K is okay not earth shattering like BK007 was making it out to be.

[A Marvel Fanboy]

It takes a while for some theaters to report box office. And it takes a while for statistic.

[DAR]

Come BK007 don't always be so glum.

How does Rth come by his numbers?

Looks like 300m for BD2 is out of the question now. Can't see how it can happen

Does this mean Skyfall is going to outgross BD2?

He has access to rentrak numbers.

RotG still less than half of Tangled

I've asked him this many times....no one really knows who he works for but according to him it is not rentrak.

[Fake]

Going by the usual comparisons......If Skyfall follows CR exactly from here on, it will finish with 305m.If BD2 follows BD1 exactly from here on, it will finish with 290m.If WIR follows Megamind exactly from here on, it will finish with 172m.

1am where you are. 10pm where I am. His final updates at 1am PST/4am EST(or at least 4 hours before any studios report) are 95-100% correct.

Not so fast. I don't think Skyfall is locked for those numbers at all.

[Accursed Arachnid!™]

I want him to give us as many reports as possible. 1 ridiculous comment shouldn't have negative consequences for rest of us.

I like all of his reports as well, but if he was only going to give us one, I wouldn't want it to be the 10pm guesstimates. I'd rather see his final 1am update than that. I stay up for it.

Yeah, let's wait to see how it crashes next weekend before making any presumptions. All movies will have huge drops next weekend.

btw congratulations to BD2 and Skyfall on hitting 200m!

[Deep Wang]

I won't be on cart today like I was yesterday, but we seem to be just as busy right out the gate as we were yesterday.

Unfortunately by then it's 3 AM here and I've to get some sleep.

Makes sense.
