Also, another reserved theater is playing it on 5 screens (same chain, but this smaller one rarely plays blockbusters) - MDH Apr 30, 19:54
single data point: amc parking lot is jam-packed, way more than usual for a thursday. way. - i.b. Apr 30, 19:48
Sorry I mean Mockingjay! Also, 3D (12 Showtimes), 2D (6) - 610/830 ticketsrespectively -- nm - MDH Apr 30, 19:41
Here's the problem: if I extrapolate those Mockingjay 1 numbers (from Thursday) to opening weekend.....I get ~185 for AVNG2 -- nm - ty97 Apr 30, 19:40 12
- MDH is right. The first Avengers took around $18m just in midnight showings and made $206m over the weekend. - Roger More Apr 30, 20:21 2
  - pffft, like Roger plays the game. -- nm - ty97 Apr 30, 20:32
  - Yeah, ty -- nm - professor smartbrain Apr 30, 20:23
- Based on all of the other data I have in the excel, if Avengers didn't sell a single ticket tomorrow it's a $195M opener. -- nm - MDH Apr 30, 19:48 4
  - It really depends on tomorrow's growth in sales. If it's like Guardians or Fast 7 it's a $250M+, Mockingjay its $230 -- nm - MDH Apr 30, 19:50
  - I might revoke your CPA just because. -- nm - ty97 Apr 30, 19:49 2
    - Puh-lease. I know you are jealous of this excel data. -- nm - MDH Apr 30, 19:50 1
      - Bitch, don't make me pivot you. -- nm - ty97 Apr 30, 19:54
- The Friday presale number are however much better. The (as of this point) Friday presales* imply ~247M - ty97 Apr 30, 19:43
- Except WOM on Mockingjay was turrible -- nm - professor smartbrain Apr 30, 19:41 2
  - WOM on avengers 2 hasn't been glorious, but it hardly needs it -- nm - Beryllium Apr 30, 19:44
  - Also I bet this has a higher imax/3D percentage -- nm - professor smartbrain Apr 30, 19:43
(I'll be that guy) Do you not have Avengers 1 data? - ty97 Apr 30, 19:38 2
- Unfortunately no. I just started getting this last June. -- nm - MDH Apr 30, 19:39 1
  - (enter jackdawson mode) USELESS! -- nm - ty97 Apr 30, 19:44
