wileECoyote Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 I still wonder how front loaded this will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MovieMan89 Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 $75M OD!!! Shit, it could end up in spitting range of TA's OD at this point! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 I still wonder how front loaded this will be. It could be very front-loaded. A $15 million midnight gross is incredible and would spawn amazing legs to a $75M opening day. However, those Thursday 9 p.m. showings burned off demand, and it will open more likely to a $55 million opening day with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Wanna bet? Biggest weekend of the year was the first w/ 147.6m. Sure, I'd take that bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spizzer Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Not really. Yes they are. http://boxofficemojo.com/alltime/weekends/month/?mo=05&p=.htm Just about every one of those increased on Saturday from Friday without midnights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattrek Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 It's not worth it. The highest weekend gross was Easter with $139M.I think you need to read what he wrote again. We have combined total weekends upcoming that could make 300m. It's such an easy bet to win. I know a couple of weekends that are locked to be over 200m and that's higher then what IM3 will get.

Alpha Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 My predictions. Friday: $61M Saturday: $56M (-8%) Sunday: $40M (-29%) OW: $157M The opening weekend range is $155M-175M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, I'd take that bet.I thought you were talking about every weekend this year including ones that are upcoming. That's the way it sounded when I read your post anyways.

MovieMan89 Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Chew on this fact: If anyone had tried to say Iron Man 3 could beat TDKR's OD a year ago they would have been crucified. And now that's exactly what might happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A nice hold could be a good sign and the same for a steep drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IM2 fell 10% on Saturday. So that's my point on why IM3 will have a Saturday fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfirebird2008 Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 http://www.hsx.com/forum/forum.php?id=3&pid=231653 Current matinee gross of 12.35M. With at least an hour left on the EC and matinees just getting going on the WC, I think we can expect ~20M from matinees. 20+15.6M and we're at 35.6M. Add in 40M from evening shows and we're at ~75M. I don't know about that calculation. He said it was running 17% behind the Avengers. If that is the case, the day ends up around $69-70m. Needs to be within 8% of TA's pace to reach $75m.

Mattrek Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Iron Man 3's opening weekend will be bigger than the total gross of every weekend this year.Contextually there's no hint whatsoever of saying so far this year. You just said EVERY weekend this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now 40M of night business is no lock. But that's about what should be expected for a film like this (give or take a few million of course). TA performed a bit better, probably like 20M matinees and 42.5M evenings (+18.5 mids), and then just exploded on Saturday with like 35M matinees and early shows and 35M more at night. THAT is what will NOT happen with this, obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
