Serious Excel for a moment:
-63m Friday is huge but obviously not maximum capacity. Very interested to see how Sat and Sunday play out, I kind of expected more out of Friday and judging from early estimates, so did others. That is a mark I think will be topped fairly soon. Heck, JW did a little more, correct?
-57m in previews will never be broken. Also think it is clear that had it been midnights only, POTTER would likely still stand.
Ridiculous. There were long lines for the 1:30 am showing Friday morning, several hours after previews began. HP DH2's record would have been demolished by at least $10 million. There would have been more than enough capacity especially with Disney taking a larger than usual cut out of the OW share. Theaters would have made space for butts in seats.
