That's kind of a weird line right after they suggest $50mil in preview business on Thursday. Or are they saying the $130-150m is literally the 3-day

and then add the $50m to that $130-150...which means they're predicting between $180-$200m?

I can't imagine $50 mil in Thursday night money and then only a $150m OW.

$50M Thursday + $130-$150M Fri-Sat-Sun is how I read it the second time. The Harry Potter finale made $43.5M midnights, then $125.7M over Fri-Sat-Sun -- nm - who's scruffy-looking? Dec 15, 13:05 2
- Yeah, that makes more sense. It just read weird to me. -- nm* - Qui-Gonn Jim Dec 15, 13:05 1
  - It could certainly be better-written -- nm - who's scruffy-looking? Dec 15, 13:08
Harry Potter 8 had the largest day ever at $91 million then dropped to $42M then $35M. - David Dec 15, 13:02 9

      - Starting at midnight was the norm, back before The Dark Knight Rises. Shows for Potter started at 12:01 am on Friday. -- (link) - who's scruffy-looking? Dec 15, 13:18 1

  - Right. We'll get two different reports. - David Dec 15, 13:13
- So they're suggesting that this will throw under Potter, even with the bigger pre-sales? That seems as crazy as the $300mil predictions. -- nm - Qui-Gonn Jim Dec 15, 13:04 2
  - No, they're saying it earns Between $180 and $200 million, which bests the current December record by $100 million. - David Dec 15, 13:06 1
    - That seems in the right ballpark to me, but I was never good at this in the first place. - Qui-Gonn Jim Dec 15, 13:11
