kayumanggi Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 I hate this world where a mid 150Ms 3-day is a disappointment. How many times have you said that? Ha ha. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockNrollaDIM Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 I hate this world where a mid 150Ms 3-day is a disappointment. It's not a disappointment but don't expect me to sacrifice a first-born over it. It's completely run of the mill and expected post-Avengers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MovieMan89 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 I hate this world where a mid 150Ms 3-day is a disappointment. Coming off a movie in the franchise that grossed 208m on OW what do you expect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 He said 65M with slight lean towards higher + west coast is usually strong for SH movies so 70M is still on the table. I think this should play well into the night. As I left my theater at 5pm, there's line starting to form with lots of families and kids. Figure it's Friday, so parents have to get off work first, or wait for school to finish to bring their kids to watch the movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmnerdjamie Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Coming off a movie in the franchise that grossed 208m on OW what do you expect? Uh, I didn't expect a repeat of $208M. That's an anomaly. Can't seriously expect that to happen twice. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dementeleus Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Alright, I'm at work and 8 hours later, what's going on without having to go back 50 pages??? More or less nothing. Right now Rth says $65m-ish, maybe a bit more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayumanggi Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 As long as someone is foolish enough to call it a disappointment, I'll be there... Well some were foolish to expect a 180 M - 200 M weekend. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But most of us expected more than 150's. But this is a premature argument because we have no confirmation yet that's where it's headed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kitik Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Well I don't think schedule will be a problem at all, I think Star Trek into Darkness and Fast Six will be extremely sorry when Iron Man 3 is still going strong going into Memorial Day weekend. Something I'd like to point out here, regarding legs and the crowded May schedule: Think about the the reports we've been hearing all day about how there haven't been many sell-outs, mostly due to the fact that there are a bazillion showings of IM3 for people to choose from. It helps when you can have 28 screenings at one theater. Now think about how that won't be possible on Memorial Day weekend. Let's assume that a theater can have 80 showings per day. (Just picking an average number for something like an 18-screen theater.) So assume on Memorial Day: Star Trek will have 20 (or 15), IM3 will still have 5 (or 10), Gatsby, P&G, Peeples, Big Wedding, Oblivion, and whatever other leftovers will likely account for another 15 or so. That's 40 right there, which only leaves 40 showings to split between the 3 new openers. Unlike tonight with a trillion screenings of IM3, there's bound to be lots of sellouts that will force people to buy a ticket for Star Trek or Iron Man or something else instead. PS. I didn't quite pick these numbers out of thin air. There's an 18-screen theater here in town with exactly 80 showings today, of which 28 are IM3. But obviously there's no way they'll be able to have anywhere near 28 screenings for F&F 6 or Hangover 3 on Memorial weekend. Numbers will obviously change based on theater size and how busy they usually are, but yeah, I think Memorial Day weekend will see lots of spillover business from sellouts this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talkie Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Ok. so I lost.. Give me the signature change folks or however you want to do it.. Will there also be a What went wrong thread or not??? Why would there be a what went wrong thread when nothing went wrong? Except some predictions here, of course. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
