Weekend numbers thread (close between TH and DU 31.5-31 so far)

[Jack Sparrow]

Thanks.So, back on track for 300 or still derailed?

It is behind NM now and will be lagging more this weekend. Its not getting to $300m unless it really recovers dramatically from here on. Regardless it would need some serious push from Summit but as of now I don't think it will make $300m

Holy crap, could Django win the weekend?

TH has a million lead and should have a better Saturday boost, IMO.

Anyway, small Friday increases mean bigger than regular Saturday boosts.

Nope. It might still go to third though.

BD1 made another 7M after a 866k friday.So BD2 will finish around 290M

That sucks. Was hoping for 6 300m movies. Suppose 5 is fine as well. It's still a record.

2007: Family films had....smaller SAT increases than the rest of films. It's entirely possible.If TH1 follows them, 30m.If DU follows films like Charlie Wilson's War and Sweeny Todd then it will be within 300-500k.

2007 didn't have bigger Friday jumps? Edited December 29, 2012 by Jack Sparrow

But we've already started to get a feel for how TH differs from '07 -- it has weaker Fridays and stronger Saturdays.

Anyway, this is early, IMO. Hopefully Rth updates within the next two hours with his solid estimates so we really know what's happening.

Than IAL. But, IAL is not a family film. If it has a good increase tomorrow then great. But, I'm not going to say it will. History doesn't back it up.

IAL is still the closest analog for TH1.

I've been using an amalgamation of IAL and Alvin. It's been splitting the middle of those two more often than not the last few days. Edited December 29, 2012 by Accursed Arachnid!™

Impressive for Django

[Jack Nevada]

Django is 8.8/10 with 15k votes on imdb

[Gopher]

I remember Sasha Stone going on about how Django's release should be delayed because of the Newtown tragedy, saying that no one would want to see a violent movie in the coming weeks. Welp...

[Fullbuster]

What total can we expect for Django Unchained?

[Jack Nevada]

I dont see good OS business for Django

[teardropmina]

let's say TH:AUJ is indeed a Saturday movie just like LotR OT, the huge Saturday jump should come after Christmas week and late into its run. FotR and TTT saw very minor Sat increases, and RotK actually decreased.
