 Re: Weekend Actuals
X2 fell to 17M in its 3rd weekend when Matrix Reloaded debuted.
TASM fell to 10M after TDKR hit theaters
Any thoughts to how Thor will perform?

 Re: Weekend Actuals
I remember people saying Avengers effect and Loki's "huge popularity" and Chris Hemsworth rising star was going to take Thor 2 to 250m or higher. Looks like these things did not help the movie as much as people thought

 Re: Weekend Actuals
It still had a huge jump overseas. 650 million WW is still pretty good.

Catching Fire is gonna hurt Thor's late legs significantly more than Breaking Dawn did to Skyfall.

 Re: Weekend Actuals
Wow!! Over-estimation overall or maybe something happened on Sunday?
Thor's drop moved from good to average with an almost $2m drop. Just noticed that 12YAS is not doing great for a movie with HUGE Awards buzz and good WOM.

 Re: Weekend Actuals
The Best Man Holiday might have taken a bite out of Slave's audience a bit. But even so I'm unsure how WOM is among mainstream moviegoers. The violence sounds pretty unpleasant.

 Re: Weekend Actuals
That's also one of the reasons I found for the movie not making big money. It was never going to be an easy watch and McQueen is known for extreme brutality in movies (ofcourse in a good way but not for mainstream audience).

 Re: Weekend Actuals
Despicable Me 2 keeps chugging along. Excellent late legs. Since dropping below $1m wknds, it has made about $5 million! It is still above $1000 pta!

 Re: Weekend Actuals
Not to take away anything from its total but the competition for family audience have been slim and quite a few movies aiming that demograph have had good/great legs. Even Percy Jackson that is semi-action family movie eeked out good legs due to lack of competition. We didn't have anything significant in October and the next big one is going to be Frozen. That's a HUGE gap for a big movie for families.

That's a HUGE gap for a big movie for families. Tru dat. It's just cool to see films sticking around that long with $1000+ PTA. When I started tracking this stuff (early 90s) it was commonplace...now not so much.

 Re: Weekend Actuals
Ofcourse it does show how it is connecting well with audience. Not many movies do THIS well for so many months nowadays even with less competition. But I believe there is always some non-arranged marketing now going for this movie with the merchandise so very hot in the market.

 Re: Weekend Actuals
It does not mean much on such a small scale, but Great Expectations had a great hold for a film which opened with a poor per-theatre average and no doubt lost showtimes at several theatres. Only a thirteen percent drop.
