Saturday should be in the same ballpark as Friday-minus-midnights.

And that's even lowballing it. The family friendly theme and the tipical winter jumps on Saturday will help TH1

THE HOBBIT: AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY grossed an estimated $13.0 million at midnight domestically.

13m? Brilliant! I'd love to see this do above $110m, and that's looks very possible now.

Not suicidal but not amazing.

That pretty much sums up my life.

[Lumos]

So it only need 37M more for the rest of the day to get to 50M!! That seems quite attainable.

[baumer]

Won't drop that much on Saturday and Sunday. This is not Twilight.

It might not be that much of a drop, but with a 12 mill midnight, it should drop down to about 37-40.

I think The Hobbit will make an increase (without midnights) going into Saturday. A bigger one than Avengers, likely. I'm thinking 48/44/29. That would be $121 million for opening weekend.

I don't know, but I'm pretty sure that these midnights number suggest a good opening day (around 40-50M) ... So, if the drops weren't so big, that meant that it would finish somewhere around 120M (after your calculations). Either it's having a lousy friday and saturday and sunday are nearly flat (or +- 10%), or it's having a big friday and small saturday and sunday.

Midnight was exactly where I was expecting on my low-end ($13-15m).

[Heretic]

Everything's going to plan so far. So much for Firedeeps 'omg biggest flop of the year there's no way to spin it now'.

[Elessar]

Just can't imagine it coming anywhere close to $120m based on OS numbers. LOTR / Hobbit was supposed to be much bigger OS. Something's fishy.

No, if The Avengers could get a Saturday bump so can this.

[wileECoyote]

13M pretty good. Guessed around 105 for OW so it may top that. Any idea when we should get a cinemascore?

But OS numbers are still for weekdays,no? Those can`t be big because of work/school.

What's your breakdown?
