anyone else noticing massive demand today...

There are daylight sellouts, HP and Twilight did not do this.


I think we are going to see the 2nd largest Saturday ever or as high as TDK.

I think this is great...

I don't know about that LGF stock. It's already priced pretty sky high and not going higher as actual numbers come in. It seems people are just holding and might start selling by the truckloads once they think the price is maxed out. I just started following the stock market though because of this so I'm a complete newb.

As for HG numbers, I'll simply repeat, most impressive of all time.

Dark Knight was certainly way up there, but there were lots of reasons to think it could crack the top 5 at least, months away. Same with Spider-man, same with HP1 I think too, though I wasn't really following BO with those 2. New Moon was impressive, but mitigated by the success of Twilight. Same deal with Pirates 2 and Shrek 2. 300 and Alice are way up on the list.

Not sure about prior to 2000's because box office buzz wasn't on my radar as much, but it seems like holds were the bigger stories rather than openings for the most part.

HG is absolute tops though - I don't think many had top 10 openings in mind before tracking numbers, or even top 20 or hell even top 40 before advance sales numbers.

HG is the most I've ever felt like a *franchise* was itself a sequel - to Harry Potter over and with Twilight too almost over. There was a real desperate need for that kind void to be filled with new life.

Can't find any info on that, maybe it didn't have midnights at all.

I feel like it was around $4-5 million. I'm certain I saw a number somewhere

Thanks :thumbsup: It was there before, but it's no longer listed in that thread, which is why I asked.

Let's not get carried away with the comparisons - ultra big midnights leads to ultra big Friday means small IM no matter how you slice it.

Ha, if this breaks the OW record....I cannot. The hype didn't even feel that big, where the fuck did these numbers come from? *waits for the Hunger Games what went right thread*

I like the TDK comparison I posted earlier better. Even if its a bit lower than that, 150-155 seems pretty reasonable IMO

The movie is sold out all over town, even the afternoon shows. I barely got tickets for a 5 PM show like an hour ago. I'm thinking the Saturday drop could be fairly minimal.

TDK had a sick Sunday hold, which was helped by summer and the older male audience. Plus HG is going from a heavy Spring Break week to a very light one.

I'm thinking 2.2 IM would be about the best it can possibly do. If it hits even 140 that should be considered phenomenal.

I'd give Hunger Games a pretty fair shot at topping Spider-Man 1 adjusted.

Fri: $68.3m
Sat: $48.5m
Sun: $36.4m

That's pretty much dead even, and I think it'll be bigger today.

It would have to hold worse than DH2 over the weekend to fall below 148m. I just have a hard time seeing that happen

Someone posted this weekend on your profile. But that was still 17.5 years ago, and adjusts to $3.7 million today. So in terms of tickets I'm gonna assume that's a modern record.

And the thing is, march has always had plenty of blockbusters potential. Even 22 years ago March 1990 had the Hunt for Red October, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles AND Pretty Woman. The first two adjust to over $200 million, and Pretty Woman still holds the record for largest March grosser of the modern era*, with $330 million...which is obviously about to go down.

Actually, I'm just gonna say this without researching because I'm pretty confident I'm correct, but this is almost certainly the first time ever (Or since 1980 at least) that a spring opener has been among the Top 5 openers of all time. Or at least in a very long time.

*Largest March movie ever is The Godfather, BTW.


There were plenty of sub-2m 5th place finishers, but all 1994 and before.

This however is by far the worst 5th place as a percentage of 1st place. The record for that was 5/15/1992 when #1 was Lethal Weapon 3 (33.2) and #5 was The Player (1.5).

No showtimes here are sold out the rest of the day. Maybe later some will be.

But in terms of IM it had a 1.9.

Hunger will beat that almost certainly but it needs a 2.2 to reach 150 - extremely tall order given the level of midnights.

Oh definitely, but what I meant was that when you consider the amount of ticket sold by the #5 movie for the weekend (Which will probably be less than 250,000), it might be the lowest on record. Once you go past '94 you're looking at a weekend gross close to $1 million to go that low.
