I still think a 50%+ fall today is almost certain (Friday admission aren't quite at the TDK/SM3 level where it'll just stay level on Saturday), so $170 million isn't even a given. The OW record, however, definitely is.

Excellent defying of expectations. Lovin' it.

I mean this is mind boggling. It would of been even more amazing if it had hit that $100M that was hinted at earlier yesterday.

So it made $48.6M yesterday then with midnights taken out. So I think we're looking at...

Friday- $92.1M
Saturday- $44.71M (-51.5%, -8% minus midnights)
Sunday- $40.24M (-10%)
Weekend- $177.05M ($40,469 PTA)

What I don't get is why people are projecting such a slight sunday drop. HP7.1 and New Moon, the only movies that really seem somewhat comparable, each dropped about 35% on sunday, why would this only drop 10%?

Looking at the Numbers, How does the BreakDown Look? Midnight = 43.5 Million Friday Only = 48.6 Million Total = 92.1 Million As 50 Million is usually one of the Top Numbers for any Single Day. So without Midnight, Would Friday have gone up much higher? And on MidNight, that is amazing, as it is always as much as any single day!

Probably they meant something like 92-45-35 That would be 7% drop without midnights.

The OW record, however, definitely is. Excellent defying of expectations. Lovin' it. Talking about the drop, shouldn't it be against Friday's Daily Number only...to make it fairer to Saturday. At least here, for better comparision. Midnight = 43.5 Million Friday Only = 48.6 Million Total = 92.1 Million

Does this mean that all holdovers + Pooh will have slightly more favorable drops on Sunday than usual? If Harry Potter saturated the market so bad today, then more screens will be given to the holdovers as demand wears off, right?

BO expects 17.8 mln for Horrible Bosses with 37% drop. I think it's quite good for such a weekend.

Has anyone put Pooh on suicide watch? I mean for God's sake, he's a tubby little buddy all stuffed with motherfucking FLUFF! He's a ticking time bomb, folks.

A decade is a long time in box office hey. I sure under-predicted this. Still I think from here anything from $160-$180m is possible, it will drop reasonably hard saturday.

^ That would be a very strong hold for Horrible Bosses and solid for Winnie the Pooh, if their projections are actually in line with Friday numbers.

Finally, something to remember to what has been (until now) an average summer/year.

I mean this is mind boggling. It would of been even more amazing if it had hit that $100M that was hinted at earlier yesterday. So it made $48.6M yesterday then with midnights taken out. So I think we're looking at... Friday- $92.1M Saturday- $44.71M (-51.5%, -8% minus midnights) Sunday- $40.24M (-10%) Weekend- $177.05M ($40,469 PTA)

But this isn't dropping 10%. TDK pulled it off because of the insane demand that was still going on Saturday, which this isn't going to match at all. It's dropping at least 15%, I think.
