Founder / Operator Shawn Robbins Posted May 3, 2013 Author Founder / Operator Share Posted May 3, 2013 So.....1. Will IM3 open higher than TDKR?2. Will IM3 open higher than DH2?Post your fucking opinions. Those who get both right will get hypothetical cookies. 1. Undecided, I'm 50/50 on it. 2. No 99% sold out is still good. 99%, yes. 70% for a primetime show, though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggestgeekever Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Any sellout reports anywhere? I'm a bit surprised that even IMAX hasn't sold out a single show here. Well MAYBE if one of the IMAX screens there didn't have reserved seating. Fucking elitist theater experience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spizzer Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 That number is 83.42% of TA's midnight opening. If you apply that to the entire weekend, you get $173m. If you account for a boost from the 9 PM shows, you probably end up somewhere in the 160's. I'm thinking the range is $165-175m, which is awesome. But every Marvel film outside of Avengers has seen its midnight share of OD be significantly smaller than Avengers' (~23%), at around 15%. I don't think it'll hit the exact middle, but I don't think its going to follow Avengers either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be offset by the advantage of having 9 PM shows, wouldn't you agree? 170-175 seems like a pretty good extrapolation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had 3 counted Friday sellouts yesterday afternoon, and haven't done one since then, but I'll do a quick scan now. The caveat is that this by far the most showtimes I've ever counted, by a margin. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but without knowing how the Previews breakdown, we can only guess by how much. But yeah, I think you're on the money 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keysersoze123 Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Well in comparing to IM2 Im3 has two of the evening shows pretty much sold out and its not night yet. Im2 did not sell out any shows... However I am in Canada...a strange and mysterious land... Sorry but Canada is not that big. It will probably be 5-6% of overall domestic. Probably NY state is lot bigger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 15.6 51.6 57.3 (+11%) 41.3 (-28%) 165.8m opening weekend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmandeep Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Day time shows went about 40-50% full here... Anyways TA was on 4-5 screens, IM3 is on 5-6 screens at big theaters around me and its a shorter film. Lets see what the night brings... Also resevered seating really messes things up in comparison to the past... There are alot more reserved seating shows here in Canada then compared to past openers and they are mostly full for the evening, but why would anyone buy tickets if they know they have sit up front right? Thus they rarely sell out. Like last night all the 8 midnight reserved seating shows went like 99% sold... IN the past they would have sold out as you would have no idea.

RichWS Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 With my own personal extrapolation, I got 165.8M. Maybe it will fall a little short of DH2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keysersoze123 Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 I see one 2D sellout at Regal Union Square at 740PM. I expect majority of evening 2D shows to sellout and lots of 3d sellouts as well. It is also having ginormous number of shows and so even without sellouts we could see huge number. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
