SPID2 vs SPID3 vs [IRNM2]

I think the biggest distinction is sequel vs. non-sequel. Beyond that release date and quality (reviews, word of mouth) can have some impact but not a whole lot. For example SPID2 is arguably the best superhero or indeed any SF movie ever made. Its delist multiple was 2.16 (versus 2.01 for the third movie) and its final multiple 2.44 (versus 2.23 for the third movie). SPID2's release date was Wednesday June 30 so that's a difference, but its Sunday opening weekend total was $152.4 million. almost identical to SPID3. But the original movie's multiples were a whopping 2.84 and 3.51 respectively, so a much bigger drop for both sequels.

I'm no expert on BB sequels and franchises, but wasn't the audience for that one a bit different? Also, the further a franchise goes, the Facto May 09, 09:48

I would argue that SPID2 is not the best superhor movie lol darknightz May 09, 10:31
Science-Fiction? {nm} Facto May 09, 10:38
ooh thank you {nm} darknightz May 09, 10:39
Or Speculative Fiction if you want to cast a wider net KalElFan May 09, 11:52
You're doing something weird with SPID2 multiple. lukesed May 09, 10:32
But it's 2,45 times the opening (when you include those two days before the Fri-Sun OW) {nm} Facto May 09, 10:37
You're not going to get an apples-apples comparison if you add two extra days to the numerator of the second's multiplier vs the first. {nm} lukesed May 09, 10:40
Well... KalElFan May 09, 11:58
IMO best comparison is PIRT2. 1 was a surprise hit with good action but not too dark + eye candy for women. Sequel is good but not better. {nm} lukesed May 09, 10:38
Much Different Release Date, New Competition, Etc. KalElFan May 09, 12:20
So the further you go in a franchise, the more frontloaded it'll usually be.. {nm} Facto May 09, 10:34
No Good Evidence of That KalElFan May 09, 12:05
SAW Franchise KalElFan May 09, 12:39
Well, you certainly do your homework, Superman.. Thanks :-) {nm} Facto May 09, 12:51
