Mattrek Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 (edited) Based on what?? A movie in it's 3rd outing grossing 60M in 1 day??? That's not a spiral downward, that's just awesome..You didn't see my post earlier. I was talking about expectations. They start out level then they go sky high and people get disappointed and expectations then go rock bottom and then they start to rise on Saturday and eventually wind up exactly where they were before OW. It's a fantastic gross for sure. Edited May 3, 2013 by Mattrek 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omario Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 (edited) There is nothing in the ballpark defintion of disappointing about that.. That's tremendous.. Well you were predicting 185-200mil OW. So it would be kinda dissapointing. I think it will land around 66mill Friday at least. Edited May 3, 2013 by Omario Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJohn Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Was 66-68 million. BoxOffice @BoxOffice 2m Sources tell BoxOffice that it's looking like $65M-$67M on Friday for IRON MAN 3. $165M weekend is likely. #IronMan3 I like this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfirebird2008 Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 But that included only half of what IM3 made in previews... Right, which is why the $60m number for IM3 seems way too low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spizzer Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 It needs to bomb or explode. Landing right in the middle of general expectations is boring. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poseidon Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Right, which is why the $60m number for IM3 seems way too low. Which is what I'm saying, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spizzer Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 It needs to bomb or explode. Landing right in the middle of general expectations is boring. I just realized that both are literally the same thing but carry opposing connotations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redfirebird2008 Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 (edited) BTC's 5 PM Update: http://www.hsx.com/forum/forum.php?id=3&pid=231685 Current Matinee gross 17.58mfor comparison, other movies at the same point on their opening Fridays...46% above IRNM2279% above IRNM1-20% below AVNGR-22% below TDKRThat matinee number (my gut tells me) does not include midnight shows (otherwise it would be way way to low to be on track for a 70m dollar day). Running 20% behind Avengers. That would give it a $65m day. Edited May 3, 2013 by redfirebird2008 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MovieMan89 Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 It needs to bomb or explode. Landing right in the middle of general expectations is boring. Lol, true but I'd rather it hit a "boring" 160m than bomb. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
