Re: The definitive Midnight numbers thread
Here's a source to estimate G.I. Joe midnights at ~2.0m http://www.hsx.com/forum/forum.php?id=3&pid=8636Granted it's not an official nationwide estimate, so perhaps it doesn't belong on the list, but there it is unofficially anyway.

Re: The definitive Midnight numbers thread
Captain America made an estimated $4 million in midnights.
Pretty decent.

Re: The definitive Midnight numbers thread
According to very early estimates, Cowboys — starring Daniel Craig and Harrison Ford — should gross $14 million to $16 million on Friday. The pic earned a soft $700,000 in 1,200 midnight runs, a sign that younger fanboys didn’t turn out. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/b ... aus-217298

Re: The definitive Midnight numbers thread
Not sure if this should be considered in midnight but 9pm previews and midnights of Fright Night resulted in $400K http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/b ... ght-225466

Re: The definitive Midnight numbers thread

Re: The definitive Midnight numbers thread
Thor, Iron Man 2, and Captain America all did about 15% of their OD business from midnights.
15% of Iron Man's OD would yield about 5.28M from midnights. However, it also had Thursday sneaks so that may be on the high side, as some demand was already burned off. Unless of course, it had no midnight showings at all

Re: The definitive Midnight numbers thread
Iron Man's Thursday numbers were first reported at $5.5m before lowered to the $3.5m Jon mentioned. So it's likely that $2m is the midnight gross.

So it would have done ~5 million had it been only a midnight opener, which follows suit with Thor/CA/IM2's midnight-to-Friday ratios. Good rule of thumb, Marvel films make ~15% of their total Friday gross from midnights. Even Spider-Man films fit this pattern. X-Men too.

Re: The definitive Midnight numbers thread
Wrath of the Titans - $1 million (1,490 locations) The sequel to "Clash of the Titans" put up that "godly" number in 1,490 locations while facing fierce competition from "The Hunger Games."http://www.chicagotribune.com/entertain ... 1156.storyNot bad, but For comparison, the original did $1.6 million from midnights.
