kayumanggi Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 2nd source tells me $15M THU night for Iron Man 3. So $15-18M likely ahead of massive opening wknd, 1 of biggest ever. https://twitter.com/giteshpandya/status/330342963597172736 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmandeep Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Shawn I think as Iron Man 3 was not more hyped up then TA, it should have rather low preview to weekend ratio?? Opening day should be 67-69 million with those numbers as Im3 should easily match IM2 Friday business of 51 million with 3d. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opening day should be 67-69 million with those numbers as Im3 should easily match IM2 Friday business of 51 million with 3d. Avengers' WOM was a huge boost for it on Saturday and Sunday, though. Unless the reviews are misleading when it comes to general audiences, I don't see IM3 having the same preview-to-weekend ratio--especially since IM3 includes a ton of 9pm shows. We're going into new math territory, boys and girls. This is the first big test. Get ready for a rollercoaster weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayumanggi Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 (edited) NOT A RECORD. Edited May 3, 2013 by kayumanggi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattmav45 Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 So how much of the increase is going to be as a result of 3D surcharges? In the long run, it looks like it will increase over IM2, but in large part as a result of 3D prices driving up the gross. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're going into new math territory, boys and girls. This is the first big test. Get ready for a rollercoaster weekend. True but Iron Man 2 did quite well over the weekend in relation to its midnight so I would say its on a great track. So how much of the increase is going to be as a result of 3D surcharges? In the long run, it looks like it will increase over IM2, but in large part as a result of 3D prices driving up the gross. I think that what was IM3 goal in the end for all reasonable people.

I'd say that was always the sole purpose of the 3D. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTF Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 (edited) $15m is an excellent #, if expected. It's funny how so many of us on this site being good at predicting #s sometimes makes finding the actuals out somewhat a little boring...OW looks to be heading to an amazing $160m-ish, but since that was a very popular prediction, it lessons it a tad.
