Rollercoaster time - Nikki says $20M Midnights for Avengers May 04, 08:20
great point re: school nights {nm} May 04, 08:25
Nowhere close to HPOT8's 43.5 midnights, but still more than HGAME's 19.7. Now we wait to see which path it follows. {nm} May 04, 08:25
DL updated to $18.7M {nm} May 04, 09:00
Well, on the bright side, perhaps a low midnight means it won't be as frontloaded {nm} May 04, 08:25
Again, keep in mind that HP7.2 was Summer, no school and thus kids could rush out to see it... {nm} May 04, 08:26
yeah, I didn't think of that... anticipating sat should pretty huge, no? {nm} May 04, 08:28
plus Harry has a hard core fan base and the midnight showing is an event, the Avengers will still perform strong {nm} May 04, 11:12
Actually I think that's a huge number. Twilight and Potter are different beasts w/respect to midnight. More comparible are TDK, ROTF & HG. May 04, 08:28
Some comparisons: BATM2 $18.5M, HPOT7 $24M, HPOT8 $43.5M, STAR3 $16.9M, TWLI2 $26.3M, TWLI3 $30M, IRNM2 $7.5M {nm} May 04, 08:29
(THOR, CAPAM, GLANT and XMEN4 all had midnights in the $3M-$4M range) {nm} May 04, 08:32
Strong number. I may have to up my prediction a bit. {nm} May 04, 08:29
And it comes in below Hunger Games midnights. TOLDJA! {nm} May 04, 10:27
Actual is $18.7M {nm} May 04, 08:58
Don't forget about Cinco De Mayo May 04, 09:01
How many were the Movie Marathon ticket vs just the Midnight showing? {nm} May 04, 09:50
