What's your point? All big movies would look less impressive if you take away their midnights. Sith has a 35 million opening day minus midnights. That's less, and went on to gross well over 300 million. Hmmmmmmm All 3 prequels also had multipliers OVER 3.5, all grossed over $300 mil, and all dropped less than 50% in their second weekend.
Only Sorcerers Stone had a multiplier OVER 3.0, only Sorcerers Stone grossed over $300 mil, and only Sorcerers Stone and GoF dropped less than 50% on their 2nd weekends. _________________trixster wrote: shut the fuck up zwackerm, you're out of your fucking element trixster wrote: chippy is correct

I still don't get your point about it making a "mere" 36 million taking out midnights. Shall we stop counting midnights then? I think if we do that you'll find 36 million is quite high.

I know $36 mil is high. But people go insane and predict outrageous $60 mil OD predictions.
Of course you NEED midnights to reach that level, but people make it out to be something it's not.

I think that may have been it's "increase" for the night.

As for Potter....the fact that it did double gof's midnights means it could do no less than 45 million. add in its a saturday n sel louts; opening dasy minumum is 50 million; so its ratio was most would be 130. _________________Ari Emmanuel wrote: I'd rather marry lindsay Lohan than represent Mel Gibson.

Looks like we're heading for 7,000 reviews and a ratio of about 150. That would put its OD at $47M. That seems reasonable to me.

So with a 150 ratio, we are looking at about $44m including midnight.

Wasn't GOF around 6,131 user ratings in the same time frame?....so does that mean OOTP barely grossed past 40m$?...looks like 40-41m$....

So...I'm sure it means somthing.
I'll say 44-47, anywhere in there. 45.5 is my guess. _________________Japan Box Office “Gods are great ... but the heart is greater. For it is from our hearts they come, and to our hearts they shall return.”

Someone else probably knows tho. Maybe it was 6400. _________________Japan Box Office “Gods are great ... but the heart is greater. For it is from our hearts they come, and to our hearts they shall return.”

Goblet had 5749 at the second-to-last update, and 6006 at the final update (comparing 3:30am to 3:30am; for some reason, we went up to 4:30am that night).

One more update, and it will finish with close to 6,600. The night pace isn't super impressive, so probably won't deviate much from the 150 ratio. $43.5m.

Which, if it had around a 170 ratio, would only mean $42 mil OD.
Which would technically mean only $30 day, with the $12 mil midnights. Intriguing. Let's hope I'm right  _________________trixster wrote: shut the fuck up zwackerm, you're out of your fucking element trixster wrote: chippy is correct

Another 2,200 for Transformers today, a very impressive number.
EDIT: but doesn't look like it means anything.  _________________Recent watched movies: American Hustle - B+ Inside Llewyn Davis - B Before Midnight - A 12 Years a Slave - A- The Hunger Games: Catching Fire - A- My thoughts on box office
