Post subject:  The definitive Midnight/Preview numbers thread

There's no official list that I know of for Midnight numbers, probably because they're so sketchy already and haven't been closely watched until recently. But I'm gonna change that! Here's a list with as many numbers as I could find from Box Office Mojo alone:

That just puts Hangover's numbers in perspective. Wow, more than Spider-Man 3 and POTC2.

2009 really was the turning point for midnight showings, and this year looks like a complete repeat of it.

Post subject:  Re: The definitive Midnight numbers thread

Added The Hangover's $1 million midnight number (Which Brandon somehow has) and notfabio's Alice in Wonderland guesstimate, a movie that for some reason doesn't have an official number (Despite clearly doing gangbusters).

Nice work Jon. Here's some more that I have, with theater count in the 3rd column when I have it. I'm sorry I don't have the source listed for these, but with this info you could find it. I get it from the usual sources - bom, deadline, guru, notfabio, etc.

2012, 1.000,
Battle: Los Angeles, 0.750,
Bruno, 1.600,
Cloverfield, 0.800,
Fast and Furious, 1.800,
G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, 2.000,
I Am Legend, 1.700,
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, 4.500,
Michael Jackson's This Is It, 2.200,
Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, 4.700, 2000
Quantum Of Solace, 2.300,
Saw 3D, 1.700, 2000
Scream 4, 0.750,
Spider-man 2, 5.000,
Sucker Punch, 0.825,
The Green Hornet, 0.550,

Awesome thread. Here is one not included:

Indy 4 scored an estimated $4.5 million in midnight shows in the U.S.

About that Alice in Wonderland estimate though. It looks too high because it was reported On Stranger Tides had better midnights. Maybe 3.5-4.5 million would be a better estimate.

In the U.S., "On Stranger Tides" earned $4.7 million in Thursday midnight runs from 2,210 theaters.

Thanks guys. :) And Ryu, I added all the numbers that you mentioned that I could immediately back up. I might do further snooping later for some of those numbers though, and add them as I find the sources. Thank you so much!

This gives Sith's midnight total as an exact $16,912,367. :thumbsup:

Edit: Also, this http://www.boxofficemojo.com/news/?id=2601&p=.htm says Transformers 2 scored $16.8 million due to the infamous Puerto Rico incident.

Post subject:  Re: The definitive Midnight numbers thread

How much will the last Harry Potter get.

And what about the final Breaking Dawn film? Could it be the first movie ever to make more during midights than during normal day shows opening day?

I'm thinking $33 million for Harry Potter, $30 million for Breaking Dawn I and $37 million for Breaking Dawn II.

TDKR has a shot at $40 million.

Post subject:  Re: The definitive Midnight numbers thread

I think based on the pattern BD1 will have higher midnights than Eclipse. BD2 will further enhance it. TDKR midnights would be interesting. But it would be hard to beat the twihards.

Post subject:  Re: The definitive Midnight numbers thread

Aww just realized that the midnight record is 30m+ somehow I thought it was $37m....with this I don't see Potter doing more than $35m midnights (max), I agree with Lecter on $33m.

TDKR will smash the record.

Author:  Inny Binny [ Thu Jul 07, 2011 10:19 pm ]
Post subject:  Re: The definitive Midnight numbers thread

Could probably be updated with First Class at $3.37m, Super 8 at $500k, Green Lantern at $3.35m and Transformers 4 at $8m

I wonder if Breaking Dawn (either parts) will be able to reclaim the record for midnight. that is assuming 7.2 gets it (which i'm just about positive it will).

Author:  Jack Sparrow [ Tue Jul 12, 2011 5:56 am ]
Post subject:  Re: The definitive Midnight numbers thread

I am sure both BD parts will get the record, the series is just one day affair to begin with :P

Thank you! I added these and a couple more of the larger ones (Anything over $4,000). This helps put DH2's number in even greater perspective. Even though 3D helped that PTA, it's still absolutely nuts.

Looking at the Numbers, How does the BreakDown Look?

As, on Midnight, that is amazing, as it is always as much as any single day!

Midnight = 43.5 Million
Friday Only = 48.6 Million
Total = 92.1 Million
