jse Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 If I remember correctly, Saturday went down a tad, Friday went up a tad, but Sunday completely obliterated it's initial projection. Came up about $7 million from what it was originally predicted to get. I don't think there will ever be a Sunday hold like that ever again. Yeah that Sunday was insane. I remember the forums at the time were debating which was more impressive TA's Fri day biz, it's Sat, or it's Sun. Arguments can be made for any of those. Sun matinee was so massive it spilled over into Sun evening, and a lil bit into Monday as well. And this was May Pre-summer lol. TA almost did 80M 70M 60M. Will TA2 do 100M 80M 70M?? Can't wait!!

Deep Wang Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 (edited) Pretty sure 90% of people who saw it on Thursday night would have seen it at midnight anyway. And the people who weren't able to see it at midnight would have seen it during opening day anyway.In other words, if you seriously are going to use Thursday previews as an excuse for beating DH2's OW... While that is true to a certain extent, I don't think it's the right course of action. At all. It sets a bad precedent and if Disney isn't going to separate the numbers, then you can be damn sure no one else will.

theultimatebiu Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Top 3. I am being safe and saying Top 5. There is ALWAYS a upset/breakout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ent Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 (edited) Top 3. Not sure. IM3 is a lock for top three. Then you have Thor2 that can potentially be massive abroad, Hobbit 2 and CF. One will fail to be in the top 3 and since OS markets are often the ones that make the biggest difference for the global BO, i think CF will be number fourth while Thor2 will cruise pass $900 millions with a $650 - $700 OS.

jse Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 I definitely think Thor could make $1b pretty easily. Captain America probably not, since he's less popular than Thor overseas, but doubling the first film's WW gross would not surprise me. Although ironically Captain AMERICA made more OS than Dom . But i think like hobby collectors, OS audiences will probly wanna be completionists... a lot of them will go see Captain America because it's part of the Avengers franchise. At this point i'm wondering how Marvel is gonna sell the GotG because at first glance it has no direct connection to Avengers so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wileECoyote Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Fewer people went for 3D conversion on #IronMan3. 3D share dropped from 52% on Avengers to 45% for IM3. https://twitter.com/giteshpandya/status/331073542160531458 That drop in 3D share probably dropped it from 180, at least in early estimates.

superduperm Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Remember back in early 2007 when $140M for an OW seemed insurmountable? We now have 7 films above $151M... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfirebird2008 Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 While that is true to a certain extent, I don't think it's the right course of action. At all. It sets a bad precedent and if Disney isn't going to separate the numbers, then you can be damn sure no one else will. The entire industry has been doing it this way since Aurora. Sucks that they're doing it, but there is nothing we can do about it other than put an asterisk on any record-breaking "preview" performance in the future.

Oh, I know. but besides BD2, there really hasn't been a mega-opener to take full advantage of those previews. Most have done less than $1m. Why is is so important to people here to have the Thursday numbers separated? The whole non-controversy makes no sense to me. Because it skews the numbers.

Jack Nevada Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 I'm feeling rather indifferent about the great success of IM3. I liked the movie but I dont know, it could have made 70M and I would feel the same. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because it skews the numbers. For now it is. Skews them how? Because people here want to play with Friday-Sunday numbers only? I'm sure nobody in the industry cares since what they're looking at is the raw numbers for their films' openings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
