 Re: Early Friday Numbers
So a bigger percentage of midnight gross comparing to Fast Five. For the weekend, could go anywhere between 63 and 75m (I'm expecting a 2.7 IM without midnight counted).

 Re: Early Friday Numbers
Looks like THOR will deliver the best 3D opening since TS3...

 Re: Early Friday Numbers
If FAST FIVE did indeed hold that well it would be a huge shock. And that's awesome for JUMPING THE BROOM.

 Re: Early Friday Numbers
That was posted at 4pm PST. How can you make any kind of predictions based on West Coast only matinees? You can't. I'd be surprised if these numbers are accurate.

They won't be but Thor fanboys are already celebrating victory.

 Re: Early Friday Numbers
Would be great to see Fast Five hold that well, but a $40m weekend would mean it's set to increase nearly 200% today. That would be something.

She changes her numbers way too often to be reliable, especially with this whole "Rentrak is down" fracas.

 Re: Early Friday Numbers
I'm hoping Water For Elephants makes more than 6 Million for the weekend. While still a very good hold it leaves a bit to be desired. Maybe my expectations are just too high, but it deserves to do well.

Rentrak was down and how convienent to go from a 5 Million dollar difference from a 25-30M Friday down to 23M now.. I don't buy this at all.. I think the movie really did make over 25M friday, but as always, someone wants this movie to fail for whatever dumb reason..

I'd say there's some number fudging going on and really not surprising since it happens more often than we think.. That's just too big a gap in B.O for a 1 day total for that not to be the case..

 Re: Early Friday Numbers
23 M is still very good for a property like Thor.
Opening weekend like Hulk 1 and 2 and slightly better drop off but not much.
Gonna take a hit next weekend with Priest which caters to the same demo and then another big hit with Pirates the following weekend.
Thor better make its cash fast.

 Re: Early Friday Numbers
With Rentrak's system acting up, I bet Thor will come in at $25m+.
