Re: Partial Friday Numbers How is that strange.
No film has gotten bigger midnights than day yet..
Using same midnight/day ratio as DH1, you get a 111 million opening day for DH2. lol

Re: Partial Friday Numbers So far, it's really proving to be the motion picture event of a generation.

Re: Partial Friday Numbers If it breaks $100M OD, I mean it has to break $200M OW right? And then that kind of assures $400M?

Re: Partial Friday Numbers jmovies wrote: If it breaks $100M OD, I mean it has to break $200M OW right? And then that kind of assures $400M? It would ensure $400m total, although not necessarily $200m OW. It will be very close, because if it breaks $100m OD, it means the midnight percentage is not as humongous as previous feared, and a $50m+ Sat would be certain. _________________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

It could still fall under 200 million if it just breaks 100 OD. I don't expect a multiplier better than New Moon which had a 1.96 multiplier. I personally don't see anything above 1.9. So really I think it needs to get above 105 million to assure 200 million.

Re: Friday Numbers These updates are so exciting! The Saturday drop is going to be fun to wait for. Anything over 170 million for the weekend would be splendid.

Re: Friday Numbers It all depends how many later buyers and walk-in business it attracts. The $24m figure from earlier, or $80m figure Nikki threw out, is deducted from the total tickets sold for the day by that point of the day, not the total tickets from the shows that were already completed by that point.

Re: Friday Numbers somebody posted this on deadline and its just to funny i had to share it, i think he got a little to excitedQuote: If the early numbers are any indication, I think we’re looking at an $85-$100 million domestic opening day (probably closer to $100 million than $85 million).
And that could well bring a $250 million opening weekend (domestically) within reach.
In my opinion, there’s a 50-50 chance “Deathly Hallows Part 2″ will become the highest-grossing movie of all-time.

Exactly, so that included all of the Imax shows that are sold out for the entire evening already, etc. However, it was posted at 4pm EST, which is 1pm PST, meaning in parts of the country it still had almost an entire day of play to go. And though presales have been huge, there is still walk up business for this. The 43.5 million midnight shows can attest to that.

Re: Friday Numbers Yes, if it hits anything above $170m on opening then it pretty much will murder both ROTK and ROTS.

Re: Friday Numbers I remember when spiderman came out and it was sellout after unexpected sellout so the theatre kept adding new showtimes to meet the demand.
