Good for Evangelion 3.0. It will be #2 this weekend. That's a big increase for Conspirators. Amazing hold for Tokyo Family.

Onto Iron Man 3...
Let's analyze this hold. Iron Man 3 increased 5% while Avengers 13% on Friday. On the surface it looks like Iron Man 3 held worse but it actually held better. Avengers' gain does not include its midnights while Iron Man 3's does. Here's where the two films stand.

	Daily admissions (OW)
	Thursday	Friday	Saturday	Sunday	Total
The Avengers	67,741	76,410	149,832	130,495	424,478
Iron Man 3	76,778	80,693			157,471
Gap	9,037	13,320	-136,512	-267,007

Iron Man 3 widened the gap on Friday and it is expected to increase that gap through the weekend.

And the Iron Man 2 & 3 Comparison...

Iron Man 2		56,582	96,078	76,730	229,390
Iron Man 3	76,778	80,693			157,471
Gap	76,778	100,889	4,811	-71,919

Although it is behind in admissions, Iron Man 3 has already passed Iron Man 2's OW in only 2 days.

10	We Were There: First Love	--	166	--	-4.6%

Absolutely INSANE number for Iron Man 3. Biggest Saturday pre-sales ever. It had nearly identical admissions increases from Friday to Saturday pre-sales as The Avengers. I'm thinking this will hit 155,000 admissions today with a chance at 160,000.

Deadline is reporting that Iron Man 3 made more than The Avengers on opening day but from the numbers that I dug up, it doesn't seem to be the case. Rth, can you weigh in on this?

Iron Man 3 is the 5th movie to cross 100,000 admissions on opening Saturday (Toy Story 3, Transformers 3, Harry Potter 7-2 and The Avengers). Amazing.

The race is over.

Evangelion 3.0 did pretty well. Conspirators appears to be winning the battle over Drug War for 3rd. Conspirators admissions have pulled away from Drug War's. Race for #5 is even tighter with Finding Mr. Right and Oblivion still pretty much deadlocked. Sunday will determine who gets in.

Great pre-sales for Iron Man 3 but walk-ins were unwilling to sit in the front row. Most showtimes were 85-90% full. That's good but not as great as what The Avengers did. A couple of shows did manage to sell out though.

Gap	9,037	13,320	-43	-130,538

Iron Man 3's weekday advantage is completely wiped out by Avengers' Saturday. There's a slight chance Iron Man 3 will keep with Avengers' on Sunday but it's slim.

Is the WOM over there still good Bluebomb?

WOM remains very high although it's come down from that perfect score to 91%. Still above The Avengers' and The Dark Knight Rises rating.

What did Avengers, TDKR, DH2, TF3, and OST get? 

[wileECoyote]

What's the expected attendance drop on Sunday for IM3?

[Bluebomb]

What did Avengers, TDKR, DH2, TF3, and OST get? 

Avengers got mid 80's. TDKR got low-high 70's. No scores for DH2/TF3/OST because the site that I got these scores from was revamped in 2012 and before then they didn't have these types of scores.

[Bluebomb]

What's the expected attendance drop on Sunday for IM3?

10-15%.

[Sam]

^

 

That would be equal or slightly bigger than TA's Sat-Sun drop. I'm hoping for it to be in the middle, about 12% would be perfect.

Yup hoping it can keep in that range to have a chance to beat out TA attendance. Anything too steep may indicate more front loading

10	Great Expectations	--	234	--	--

Good hold for Iron Man 3. Evangelion 3.0 lost a lot of admissions in pre-sales on Sunday but it will end up in 2nd this weekend. Big spike for Oblivion. If it can keep up this pace today, it will beat Finding Mr. Right for 5th. Nice bump for Tokyo Family. Holding really well. Huge fall for Drug War. A 45% drop in pre-sales is unheard of. I'm thinking it might be an error. The Croods re-appears after not being in the top 10 the whole weekend.

As of this post, Iron Man 3 has already crossed 100,000. More showings are selling out today and those that didn't are 95% full which is what Avengers did back then.

Did I say 9 was the record? Because now it's 10 (including the 2D morning showing). Still, 9 3D morning shows is crazy. It got more morning shows on the holiday than the opening weekend which never happens. Avengers' didn't have this number of morning shows on the May 1 holiday. It's even crazier since Trance comes out May 1.

[Bluebomb]

Admissions are still ongoing but Iron Man 3 is putting up a huge fight on Sunday. It increased from Saturday! Speculation is that there is some mainlander effect today because other films have seen big increases as well.Here's my new article if you haven't seen it yet. Plus my wrap-up of this weekend (alternate link).Final admissions to come later.

Iron Man 3 becomes the new OW leader in HK according to various media outlets. Fantastic OW. It ranks 3rd in admissions behind Transformers 3 and Harry Potter 7-2. Evangelion did pretty good compared with the previous 2 Evangelion OW's. Conspirators and Drug War fell hard and weekend won't be decided until actuals. Oblivion dropped like a rock but it should still make 2m.
