$10.5M per Deadline 

Deadline is always over. They did it last weekend when they said IM3 made 4.9m. They did it with The Avengers too.

Great work as always

Internet went down for a couple of days hence the lack of updates.

I don't post BOM numbers because of their inaccuracy sometimes but this week looks mostly correct...

Iron Man 3 ate into its gross.

Thanks, bluebomb.

I predicted 60M hkd before its release.

So glad it's making much more than that.

[Ent]

So IM3 is on pace to reach $50 million, $55 million or higher ?

[Olive]

So IM3 is on pace to reach $50 million, $55 million or higher ?

...It's HK.Not South Korea.

If you're asking SK.

55M is very likely.

How's ST looking to do in HK compared to the first?

It will beat the first one's total in 1 weekend.

[kayumanggi]

It will beat the first one's total in 1 weekend.

 

Well that's good.

[Fake]

I think comparisons with JC/Battleship in Asian markets will tell us better where it is headed.....So how does ST2 compare against those two?

So how does ST2 compare against those two?

Will open higher than both and should finish higher than both even with Fast 6 out the week after.

 

 

[Mattrek]

What'd the first do?

[Sam]

What'd the first do?

I think it was around US$1.3M

[Sam]

Bluebomb, how high can IM3 reach? Is 14M possible?

[Bluebomb]

Bluebomb, how high can IM3 reach? Is 14M possible?

 

I don't think it will get there. It is starting to drop quite a bit this weekend. Next weekend, it will decrease more...14m doesn't sound reachable. It will get to 13m though.

Iron Man 3's is falling heavier with Star Trek 2 out. Star Trek 2 is looking really good ahead of next week's drop date. Good increase for The Call but none of the openers did well. The Call is scoring great with audiences, however, with 100% approval. Conversely, The Last Exorcism holds just a 4% rating but has only half of The Call's screens. Snitch is doing pretty awful. It will be The Rock's lowest opener in 8 years. Even though Trance is doing a tailspin this weekend, it had a very good opening weekend so its performance isn't too shabby.

Iron Man 3 saw a bigger drop with Star Trek 2 unloading Friday. If it makes that estimate, it will still be ahead of The Avengers' 3rd weekend by $20,000. Yes, The Avengers will start gaining ground week-to-week next weekend but it does not matter since Iron Man 3 will pass it next weekend. Iron Man 3 has had one hell of a run. 13m will happen. Star Trek 2 had very strong sneaks. This is a good sign for next weekend when it opens. WOM is at a ROBUST 83% (Veep, anyone?). Next Friday is also a holiday so if WOM continues in a similar fashion, Star Trek 2 could do some damage. The Call was the biggest opener but it had more screens than the rest of the newbies. This is nothing home to write about. The Last Exorcism 2 looks to barely nudge by Snitch despite losing the admissions battle. WOM for The Last Exorcism 2 is deplorable. It sits at only 3.85%, one of the worst approval ratings for a major movie this year. Last Exorcism 2 had its best day on Saturday and its worst day on Sunday. Its Thursday-Saturday bump was only 18% but its Sunday decrease from Saturday was a whopping 30%. Ponder on that. Meanwhile, Snitch fared worse than TLE2 because it was playing in more screens. Overall, Snitch will be The Rock's lowest opener in 8 years.

Next week's predictions

1. Star Trek 2 - 1.5m
2. The Great Gatsby - $650,000
3. Iron Man 3 - $450,000 (-59%)

Star Trek 2 looks poised to break out with the holiday providing perfect cover. Who said anything about it not doing well in Asia?
