spizzer Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 I think we're grasping at straws at that point though. Pre-sale activity is usually driven by fans until the final day or two before release, and they'll find a way to get a ticket. General audiences start purchasing tickets in those final days before release. Fair enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder / Operator Shawn Robbins Posted May 3, 2013 Author Founder / Operator Share Posted May 3, 2013 Fair enough. But I do agree it's a question mark. Just my two cents. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goffe Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 No it wouldn't. you know that TA had 52% 3D share, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Futurist Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 (edited) For some reason I thought CF was in 3D.... No 3d for THG franchise. Katniss is keeping it real. Edited May 3, 2013 by The Futurist 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyneOh1040 Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 (edited) Everytime I see midnight numbers from tentpole releases like this it really makes me that much more impressed with Deathly Hallows: Part 2. I know their was a massive fanbase, it had 3D and represented roughly 25% of the OW, but still. 43.5 million!? I remember I went to a 20 screen theater and EVERY ONE was sold out. Is there any movie that comes out this year that has the potential to break it? My top pick would be Catching Fire but without 3D I just can't see it happening.

spizzer Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 you know that TA had 52% 3D share, right? What does TA have to do with anything? By my calculations: TDK - 22.3M SM3 - 22.0M TA - 21.8M Then there's the probability that both SM3 and TA were powered by younger skewing audiences than TDK was; children's tickets = lower prices. For all intents and purposes, I consider all three of them even at 22M, with an accepted margin of error of a few hundred thousand tickets. To definitively take the record in my mind, therefore, CF needs 22.5M. With NO IMAX, that translates to ~181M with current prices. With roughly a 15M IMAX OW, we're at ~188M, and with a 20M IMAX OW, we're at ~190M. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing, not even with 3D in the near future. Maybe SW:VII Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiantCALBears Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 If you guys look at OW # of tickets sold, this will be incredibe if it beats the original Spiderman which adjusts to $157m (7th place all time adjusted) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyneOh1040 Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Agreed. And I can't see Potter's midnight record going down until SW7. That's probably the best pick. Keep forgetting about those because it's so surreal that the franchise is coming back. But you're right. The fandom is there to break it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
