Why is everybody expecting Poseidon to manage a 3x multiplier?

Um that doesnt make sense. It would most likely increase 10% at the max and drop close to 28% on sunday.How does that make it a 3X multiplier

What a crappy weekend. I guess we've got to wait another week for summer to start.
If next weekend disappoints as well, I could say we're in for Slump II.

Well, that sucks for Poseidon and Just My Luck. Poseidon should make around $21m and JML around $6.5m.
I'm glad to see MI3 at #1 again though. I saw it last night and thought it was a great action movie.

A major let down from Posiedon. MI3 looks like beating it to number 1 this weekend which is something i doubt anyone seriously saw happening.

Wow. In 750 theatres and Art School Confidential didn't pull a top ten spot. It must have performed pretty poorly. Too bad. I'm checking it out today.

Were most people predicting upwards of $30 mill for Poseidon?
Fools!
It looked awful from trailer 1.

Seriously, that makes no sense.

As an Exorcist freak (and someone who loves to give Baumer shit on his opinion of the franchise and love of Poseidon), I'd love to pull out this little number.
First Friday
Poseidon $7.2 million
Exorcist: The Beginning $7.4 million

The reasoning for a 3 multiplier, is apparently there was no rush factor to see poseidon, there were no big midnight screenings. meaning this is more or less like an average teen flick. I dont see why it can't pull a 3 multiplier. Im thinking around a 25% today.

Um, there were 10:00pm showings as well. I think it'll increase today, actually, but I see a multiplier around 2.8-2.9x. I'm sure a 3x multiplier is possible, but it's not because "the opening day wasn't that great, so it has to have a big multiplier."

Well I agree with you on that, that is a poor reasoning, notice I didnt say that. mine is more a matter of demographic and anticipation. _________________Chippy wrote: As always, fuck Thegun.

Magnus, you have no reasoning behind it. That's the point. It doesn't help to say, "if Poseidon opened to $20 million yesterday, it wouldn't do this" and "if Poseidon had a $1 million opening day, it'd do this."

Also, the one good thing about Poseidon getting a low gross is: I won the bet with my manager. Now I don't have to buy him a Red Bull.

Akeelah and Sentinel both held up well given the theater loss. I'd project $2.0m for the former and $1.5m for the latter.

Poseidon fell flat, as expected. Warners is going to have to hope for some big international numbers from that one.
Mission Impossible held up fairly well, all things considered. It may be able to hit at least $135-140M.
Lindsay Lohan's drawing power has faded. A lame premise and almost no appeal to males probably didn't help.

It should be noted how well RV has held up so far. It's only down 21% from last Friday, and will probably have an even better drop for the weekend itself. It has totally monopolized the family market, which bodes well for Over the Hedge.
