Founder / Operator Shawn Robbins Posted May 3, 2013 Author Founder / Operator Share Posted May 3, 2013 Would have dropped worse if Twitter and Facebook were more established at that point. The hype on that film was insane and the bubble didn't really pop until Monday. That, plus huge kiddie appeal. That's what kept SM3 over $300m and TASM over $225m, IMO.

Founder / Operator Shawn Robbins Posted May 3, 2013 Author Founder / Operator Share Posted May 3, 2013 Even SM3 did 59M without mids, I know previews are included. 71.6M 61M 47M OW - 179.6M SM3 did $10 million at midnight, included in the $59.84m Fri figure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChD Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 It will not drop that much on Sunday. Big movies have a lot of spill over business. Look at all the top 5 biggest OWs of summer, none of them dropped more than 22% on Sunday. TDK and TDKR dropped 8.5% and 10.5% on Sunday, but after enormous Saturday drops. So it's not quite the same to compare them. Spider Man 3 took time until bad word of mouth spread, and it took long because facebook and twitter weren't that popular/weren't existing back then.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neo Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 SM3 did $10 million at midnight, included in the $59.84m Fri figure. Oops. So back down to 169M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTF Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 (edited) Yeah Sunday drop will be below 30%... This will have more famalies compared to IM2. It will def have more families compared to IM2, but no where near as much as TA. Trailers and marketing have been extremely dark compared to TA and the loss of all the other characters won't drive family business close to TA.

Founder / Operator Shawn Robbins Posted May 3, 2013 Author Founder / Operator Share Posted May 3, 2013 (edited) I tend to agree that the Sunday drop won't hit 30%. I just also can't see it coming very close to Avengers' 18%. Edited May 3, 2013 by ShawnMR 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattmav45 Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 hmm, so far this looks kind of disappointing Ahhh, the inevitable "this is disappointing" post. A film has to literally break records or people on this forum always bring up disappointment when discussing the numbers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
