- The bigger the number, the more impressive it is to maintain. -- nm - David Dec 23, 13:16
- It's fairly random for first week films. Anything +/- 5% is just noise anyway. -- nm - Reagen Dec 23, 12:58 5

    - see below. The 16 mil number didn't neccesarily have to hold - Reagen Dec 23, 13:02 3

        I'm maybe being a bit hyperbolic - we definitely need to see this weekend first - but it's more in the sense that it's possible. - Reagen Dec 23, 13:08 1

- That wasn't the norm when I was playing HSX. Mondays are usually the biggest out of Mon-Thu. -- nm - con_carne Dec 23, 12:57
I knew my dad saw it yesterday. I didn't realize *everyone else's* dad went too. -- nm - TFox Dec 23, 12:48 1
- Heh -- nm - con_carne Dec 23, 12:49
The Dark Knight is in trouble. -- nm - Reagen Dec 23, 12:46 26
- I think you and Inigo are getting a bit carried away. -- nm - David Dec 23, 13:16
- I cannot believe this is all over a movie I would never see. I mean, usually these big films hold some allure for me but this looks like such crap. -- nm - amanda Dec 23, 12:49 12
  - My mom usually hates sci fi/fantasy movies, and yet this might be the first movie in 2 years we go and see as a family - con_carne Dec 23, 13:11
  - It's *VERY* shiny. -- nm - JaxSean Dec 23, 12:52
  - Are we talking about New Moon again? -- nm - TFox Dec 23, 12:52
  - really? no interest? i'm just intrigued because of how amazing everyone says it looks. - Andie Cane Dec 23, 12:51 5
    - I was always going to see it but with the WOM being through the roof I'll most likely make sure to make time... - Mel Profit Dec 23, 13:01 4
      - Dude!! Where have you been? - pmb Dec 23, 13:10
      - I do not buy into that Dances with Aliens thingy. - groiny Dec 23, 13:03 2
        
        I'm not particularly bothered by it (I don't mind being told a story a second way if it's done well) but it's almost note for note in parts. -- nm - Reagen Dec 23, 13:06 1
        
        well, it is what it is. - groiny Dec 23, 13:09
  - I might see it if it comes here in IMAX+3D ... but even then it's iffy. - Beryllium Dec 23, 12:50 2
    - I think you'd love it. Just for what it's worth. - Callisto Dec 23, 12:54 1
      - Oh, I'm sure it's possible. I mostly liked Transformers, after all. - Beryllium Dec 23, 13:02
- how much of these "legs" can be chalked up to people with extra time off on the holidays? -- nm - Beryllium Dec 23, 12:47 11

    - 3d liemax was pretty impressive. I have a hard time watching action movies on a huge imax screen anyways -- nm - ceregon Dec 23, 12:59
    - I don't honestly see there being a significant difference between regular 3D, FakeMax or IMAX. -- nm - Reagen Dec 23, 12:54 3

        the IMAX glasses are more solid (and have to be returned). I don't think there's a real difference in the viewing experience, though. -- nm - Reagen Dec 23, 12:59
        
        would have to, yes. -- nm - Andie Cane Dec 23, 12:58
  - a large proportion of it. That's the attraction of releasing a movie this time of year. - Reagen Dec 23, 12:51 1
    - $18 each here. -- nm - Andie Cane Dec 23, 12:52
  - (Or, to state my actual question, what is the probability that there will be a *steep* drop in earnings after the holidays are over?) -- nm - Beryllium Dec 23, 12:48 2
    - I'm sure there will be. It's still a lot of money in that time. -- nm - pmb Dec 23, 12:54
    - that's still, really, 12 days away. it wll have had three weekends by then and a week when tons of people are off. it might not matter by then. -- nm - Andie Cane Dec 23, 12:50
