Posted by David (aka David) May 8 '10, 09:01

And Nightmare on Elm Street is off 80%. 80 with an 8.

Nightmare on Elm Street is the very definition of disposable. -- nm - Qale May 8, 10:18
Wow, that is supremely disappointing imo. - Will Hunting May 8, 09:07 14
- $4.1 million in IMAX sales. -- nm - David May 8, 09:10
- Should've been in 3D. -- nm - Tim May 8, 09:08 12
  - they were to far into the filming to use 3D like they'd want -- nm - Remlik May 8, 09:20 11
    - Wait, what's not in 3D? Ironman? I thought it was. -- nm - mara May 8, 09:21 9
      - I find it interesting that you are the second person on ST to assume it was in 3D. -- nm - Dano May 8, 09:37 5
        
        2nd? More like 4th. -- nm - Love Machine May 8, 10:06 1
        
        Well not every movie can be 3D worthy like Avatar. -- nm - Redmond of Persia May 8, 10:09
        
        I did because my friend saw it on the theater's sign as showing in the IMAX, and he assumed 3D. -- nm - mara May 8, 09:39 2
        
        It's not a ridiculous assumption. I just find it interesting how quickly it has become common to assume that any event movie like this would be in 3D. -- nm - Dano May 8, 09:44 1
        
        yeah I think it's really become engrained on the public that Imax = 3D -- nm - Remlik May 8, 10:22
      - negative -- nm - Remlik May 8, 09:22 2
        
        it is showing on Imax though. -- nm - Remlik May 8, 09:22 1
        
        Many thanks! -- nm - mara May 8, 09:39
    - but it does make a case from the studio end to make the studio think they should have converted it into 3D -- nm - Remlik May 8, 09:20
With $7.5 million of that midnight sneaks. -- nm - Tim May 8, 09:02 10
- Right, it's the 7th biggest day and will probably translate to the 5th biggest weekend. -- nm - David May 8, 09:06 9
  - Working on something now, but I've come up with $142.2. - Tim May 8, 09:14 8
    - FWIW, I'm only thinking about $128 million. - David May 8, 09:24 7
      - Alrighty, that was the initial number I came up with but I'll keep crunching. -- nm - Tim May 8, 09:27 6
        
        I know I don't have to tell you but doing the individual days instead of a general multiplier is key here. - David May 8, 09:37 5
        
        (Spidey 3 did $90 million Sat/Sun!) -- nm - Tim May 8, 09:58 1
        
        I forgot to carry the 1. I'm so embarrassed. -- nm - David May 8, 09:59
        
        Does Mother's Day help or hurt a movie like this? -- nm - Redmond of Persia May 8, 09:47 1
        
        I think it's a push. -- nm - David May 8, 09:53
        
        I found a math error in my calcs so I'm much closer to what you've come up with. -- nm - Tim May 8, 09:42
