Industry perception is that it will die quickly. We'll see...

It's also too bad USA Today slightly missed a key part of what they were quoting you on, leaving out that $25 pre-opening showing. -- nm - Qale Jun 8, 09:20 1
- I just learned that Fox News mentioned us on air a few days ago. - Imperator Jun 8, 09:40
Just imagine how front loaded The Fault in Our Stars: New Moon is going to be. -- nm - Qale Jun 8, 09:11
I'd agree with that; nothing about the performance yet indicates otherwise. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 8, 08:34 3
- I expect a "see it again!" campaign among the diehards in a week or two. -- nm - Tim Jun 8, 08:37 2
  - I suggest they start that ad campaign right now. -- nm - Inigo Jun 8, 08:51 1
    - I suggest they go with "See it again for the first time!" -- nm - Beryllium Jun 8, 08:54
It almost has to just from the mechanics of it - Reagen Jun 8, 08:14 11
- Yeah, the individual daily numbers are already low enough that legs probably can't happen. -- (link) - Inigo Jun 8, 08:45 7
  - Why aren't the Saturday and Sunday ones from that page topped with kids' movies? -- nm - zork Jun 8, 09:42 4
    - also notice that there's a huge time of year and/or limited release bias in those two charts. -- nm - Reagen Jun 8, 09:50 2
      - wow, a ton of Jan./Feb. -- nm - zork Jun 8, 10:01 1
        
        The Sunday is basically all Christmas Day and Boxing Day. -- nm - Reagen Jun 8, 10:13
    - Because there's still a first day rush, and Saturday and Sunday afternoon numbers would have a greater % of discount tickets. -- nm - Reagen Jun 8, 09:48
  - Man, you abandoned ship fast. :P -- nm - Imperator Jun 8, 09:41 1
    - Yup, kinda hard to ignore this type of front loading. ;) -- nm - Inigo Jun 8, 10:07
- That $12.5 million Saturday is still pretty scary. -- nm - David Jun 8, 08:17 2
  - Best case scenario next weekend is probably $20M. -- nm - Reagen Jun 8, 08:53
  - I was banking on it but actually expected it to be even worse. -- nm - Spawn Lord Jun 8, 08:34
I always assumed it would fall off quickly after OW. - ty97 Jun 8, 08:09
