FTF Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 (edited) in my estimation:68.560.3 (-12%)41 (-32%)169.5That's enormous. That's too big of a Sat increase over Fri I think (FriDAY of $52.9m I mean). Edited May 4, 2013 by FTF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ainsleyb Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 In all honesty, who actually cares if it's at 68.5 or 70.2M on Friday? It's going to make over $1B worldwide. Surely that and that alone should be the big talking point. Domestic box office is not the end all it once was. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huh, a British person telling Americans that our market isn't the one we should focus on. That's funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robertron Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 As much as I love it, please beat DH2.It would be great to have two Marvel flicks at the top. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

druv10 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 (edited) Very happy with 68.5M OD. It's tied with Eclipse for 8th biggest day of all-time. 68.5M 58M 44M 170.5M OW Edited May 4, 2013 by druv10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 That's too big of a Sat increase over Fri I think (FriDAY of $52.9m I mean). I have it dropping 12% today. I think that's pretty fair, maybe a bit optimistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Futurist Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Basically, estimates are made by extrapolating the first figures from the east coast, hence the 58m number then west coast was way bigger than east coast hence the 68,5 figure. Would that be an accurate report of the events from last night ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FTF Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 I have it dropping 12% today. I think that's pretty fair, maybe a bit optimistic.That's a better % hold than TA, which I can't see happening. If going off $68.5, I think it'll have a 20% or so drop today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fake Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 in my estimation:68.560.3 (-12%)41 (-32%)169.5That's enormous. I'm thinking 57-58m Saturday. 60.3 would be 14% jump over Fri sans midnights.Agree with Sunday number though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ball Lightning Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Great read! Loved the melt downs and people's defense of a $145-$155m OW (which would still be great).Looking at a fantastic showdown between DH2 and IM3. Bet you that the estimates will be around $170 so the media has 2nd biggest opening ever as their headline! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chewy Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Basically, estimates are made by extrapolating the first figures from the east coast, hence the 58m number then west coast was way bigger than east coast hence the 68,5 figure. Would that be an accurate report of the events from last night ? Yes. And usually big explosiony action movies play stronger on the West Coast, whereas YA adaptations perform better on the East Coast. Which is why they've underestimated stuff like TF3/TA/IM3/etc by so much and overestimated stuff like DH2/THG/etc by so much You'd think eventually they'd factor this in, but they're probably afraid to stick their necks out 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
