Thats what we need though...if for every 10 theaters that only has 1 or 2 sells outs or no sell outs but a few pretty full theaters, you have a huge one doing near 20k in business...

I wanna know the midnight theater count. 84 Imax are and all will no doubt sell out. I know everybody is saying it isnt gonna touch Siths midnights but its hard to deny its gotta slight chance...I mean the above theater has sold over $11,000 in presales to midnight alone...

The 16 million sith did in 2900 theaters was pta of 5,517. If TDK is in, say, 3500 theaters for midnights, to hit 16 million it would require $4,517. Theaters like the one above will push $20,000 ALONE...

Midnights are gonna be quite large, Excel thinks

Btw...take a ganer at the presales for Friday

So... Now I'm seeing this 3 times in 9 hours!!!

nice

what you're saying makes sense, but I don't understand how it could drop over 60% if Dead Man's Chest only dropped like 54%.

Quit playin, you know what you wanna say...



Is going...somewhere...

While a $125m+ opening is looking mighty fine right now, I have this awful feeling that people outside the extended Batman fanbase won't show up for this, and that the inflated number of sellouts is from all the people who just "get" the hype for this movie...kinda like what happened with "Cloverfield," except on a way huger level.

But at the same time, I don't see how this would have bad legs, so I guess there's little to worry about.

True true...I kid bout spidey 3...I just hope tdk tops 120...thats all i want...than itll def. win the year

You know... I have my doubts time to time about regular movie-going audiences not showing up but you know what?

This film has had one of the strongest, most omnipresent advertising campaigns I have ever seen. EVERYONE is aware that it's coming out. And what's more, I don't think the complete overabundance of tv spots and ads and articles is causing a backlash. For some odd reason, it's not overkill and for alot of other movies, it probably would be.

At this point, yes, I too would be shocked if it didn't clear $100 million but I've come back down to earth from my $140m+ predictions.

As of now, I can see this opening to around $115-124 million (including sneaks). That number may go up but I don't think it would go higher than $130m.

This is making $65+ OD, Over $55+ 2nd day, over $45+ 3rd day.

$165+ mil OW.

That sorry p.o.s is going down.

You watch.

Saturday?

You're all making me pissed off.

You're throwing out all these low ass predictions, just so you can be surprised when it blows past them all.

Losers!

Yeah, Im hoping for 45 on Friday and 110 for the weekend. Under and Ill be dissappointed.

EVEN YOU EXCEL?!?!

Why so seriou-I mean surprised?? When BJ converts, than my jaw will drop.

I hope it beats SM3 just for the sake of SM3 being so terrible

ha, 150m+

As awesome as it'd be to see this become the biggest 3-day opening ever, isn't that kind of...impossible? Its running time is 2 and a half hours.

I can't see this opening to higher than 130. I am thinking 110-115 right now.

Fandango has confirmed that TDK is selling out fastest for pre-opens. I think 50M OD is highly probable.

If it comes close to 50 million it should be able to top 130 which would be unbelievable.

Isn't this just a lot of marketing hype. The more people talk about stuff selling out, the more people rush out to buy their tickets now because they think they are going to miss out otherwise. This movie will be huge but I don't think there is really much more I can deduct from the presales and sellouts stats.
