Re: THOR midnights For BKB, it's about the movies, not the numbers and the Twitter tracking.

Re: THOR midnights Iron Man started early and got $3.5m pre-midnight, so this is quite good.

Re: THOR midnights (Hammertime) Very good number - should be interesting to see how it fares today. I doubted Thor as recently as two weks ago, but there is definite organic/real-world interest.

Re: THOR midnights (Hammertime) Exactly as expected. Dont know why anyone doubted this would do over $65m. Kind of a given after the OS numbers.

The film had more OS appeal than most comic-book films due to its reliance on mythology and appealing to that "swords&sandals" demo. Also, it's not that often we have back-to-back 65m+ openers, both essentially appealing to the same demo. And, justified or not, faith in the domestic B.O. was spiraling downard. Kind of hard to think big until proven otherwise.

Re: THOR midnights (Hammertime) Perhaps we did just need big blockbuster fx flicks to get the teens back out in force.

I think it was a challenge to market to teens - they could used more of the soundtrack and used the friendship angle for girls and more of the top-notch cqc for teen boys.

Re: THOR midnights (Hammertime) ^ Hanna still did much, much, much better than I ever would have expected, though. Its eventual $40M gross is nothing to sneeze at.

Yeah I'm very happy the way it performed compared to what it could have been. Now if only they had turned up to Scream 4....

Re: THOR midnights (Hammertime) People are comparing apples to oranges.
F5 has been increasing OW and still remains the fifth installment of the franchise and even though Thor is a comic-book we all know that it is not as famous, plus this is the first movie of the franchise (if they decide to make more of it)
