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).

Looks like THOR will deliver the best 3D opening since TS3...

Not really, it always had that Tyler Perry feeling (my forecast was $15m)...

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

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.

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.

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.

For a weekend opening like that, why shouldn't they celebrate for a comic character as hard as this one was to bring to the big screen??? How's this any different than how all of you celebrated TDK OW when it came out??? :roll:

Yeah.. That's what happened.. :funny: 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..

To go from 25-30M on friday down to 23M??? :funny: 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..

That's more like it. 16 would be high for Jumping the Broom with another rom com opening the same weekend.

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.

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