Most of these mega-opening movies end up having 'legs' based on the idea that they are an event in and of themselves.

Jurassic World 1 did 3.25 it's opening weekend in total. That movie sucked.

Dark Knight did over 3x
Avengers did around 3x
Star Wars 7 did like 3.8x

This one, a well-received movie, is going to do about 2.4x.

Except for Dark Knight those are all "firsts." First Avengers, first in a new Jurassic series, first in a new Star Wars series. This was a last. - Cuzzin Todd Jun 2, 11:21
I wonder if multipliers didn't break because of the massive size of the opening AND of the sheer size of its opening circuit. - Marlowe Jun 2, 10:36 3

- Maybe, people already had the event feel built in so they showed up immediately. But the losing screens is solely because it dropped off - Will Hunting Jun 2, 10:42 1
  - The per screen average is not that far away from the others, not enough to justify it losing - Marlowe Jun 2, 10:56
