Re: The definitive Midnight numbers thread Here's a source to estimate G.I. Joe midnights at ~2.0m http://www.hsx.com/forum/forum.php?id=3&pid=8636Granted it's not an official nationwide estimate, so perhaps it doesn't belong on the list, but there it is unofficially anyway.

Re: The definitive Midnight numbers thread According to very early estimates, Cowboys — starring Daniel Craig and Harrison Ford — should gross $14 million to $16 million on Friday. The pic earned a soft $700,000 in 1,200 midnight runs, a sign that younger fanboys didn’t turn out. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/b ... aus-217298_________________Japan Box Office “Gods are great ... but the heart is greater.

Re: The definitive Midnight numbers thread Not sure if this should be considered in midnight but 9pm previews and midnights of Fright Night resulted in $400K http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/b ... ght-225466

Re: The definitive Midnight numbers thread Rev wrote: Completely utterly DESTROYED that record No doubt about it! Despite the midnight trends in recent years, to raise the bar that much higher for a non-sequel can't be called anything less superlative than *most impressive*.

Re: The definitive Midnight numbers thread Thor, Iron Man 2, and Captain America all did about 15% of their OD business from midnights.
15% of Iron Man's OD would yield about 5.28M from midnights. However, it also had Thursday sneaks so that may be on the high side, as some demand was already burned off. Unless of course, it had no midnight showings at all

Re: The definitive Midnight numbers thread Iron Man's Thursday numbers were first reported at $5.5m before lowered to the $3.5m Jon mentioned. So it's likely that $2m is the midnight gross.

So it's likely that $2m is the midnight gross. Makes sense. So it would have done ~5 million had it been only a midnight opener, which follows suit with Thor/CA/IM2's midnight-to-Friday ratios. Good rule of thumb, Marvel films make ~15% of their total Friday gross from midnights. Even Spider-Man films fit this pattern. X-Men too.

Re: The definitive Midnight numbers thread Wrath of the Titans - $1 million (1,490 locations) The sequel to "Clash of the Titans" put up that "godly" number in 1,490 locations while facing fierce competition from "The Hunger Games."http://www.chicagotribune.com/entertain ... 1156.storyNot bad, but  For comparison, the original did $1.6 million from midnights. _________________Japan Box Office “Gods are great ... but the heart is greater.
