It's reasonable to be a sceptic when something has never happened before. Normally I'd be on that side of the fence myself.

Hangover was so big though, and continues to be heavily referenced in the general public that it just strikes me as something worth making a bold call on.  The fact that raw tracking numbers were on par or better than Pirates even last week gives me some confidence that bold is the right way to go on this one.

mtc panda 76 hangover 125 both are five day {nm} notfabio May 23, 10:03

Low on Panda. First did 60m in 3 days. {nm} Nightfury82 May 23, 10:12

Soemone is overcompensating for missing the mark on Bridesmaids. {nm} skamanfu May 23, 10:12

Yup... though I do think they're closer on Hangover 2 than RS. {nm} secretstalker May 23, 10:18

well, if the rule applies, this will be a money-making fest! {nm} krapnek May 23, 10:20

Anyone know how MTC did over Memorial Day last year? {nm} secretstalker May 23, 10:24

MTC had SATC2 and PRSIA at 74 and 50 respectively, both adjusted below MTC by a significant figure {nm} karspov May 23, 10:32

And my early numbers from RS say Prince of Persia 70 and Sex and the City 85 (5day) secretstalker May 23, 10:38

panda is behaving more like Ice Age 3 which with 3D and 5-day opened lower than IA2. {nm} shawman May 23, 10:25

It is? last time I checked, it hasn't opened yet. {nm} secretstalker May 23, 10:36

My statement was incomplete. IF it follows tracking KFP2 would mimic IA3. {nm} shawman May 23, 11:16

No R-Rated comedy has ever come close to opening that high. Reverse the figures and I'd believe it more {nm} numbersix_99 May 23, 10:33

No R rated comedy has ever come close to grossing as much as Hangover did, shadowking May 23, 10:38

A list of R-rated opening weekends... skamanfu May 23, 10:44

There is always a first time. {nm} Antibody May 23, 10:48

no R-rated comedy but Matrix Reloaded did $135 million in four days. {nm} secretstalker May 23, 10:47

Matrix Reloaded was a comedy. {nm} GalacticPothealer May 23, 12:00

True, but even looking at the American Pie movies, the sequel only made 136% of the original numbersix_99 May 23, 11:00

Unbelievable for Hangover 2. KFP2 is a bit surprising but certainly conceivable. Cars 2 seems to be getting more of a push than Panda. {nm} Rolling_Thunder May 23, 10:37

I've seen more commercials for Panda going back months than any other movie. MTC are low. {nm} secretstalker May 23, 10:44

Eh, I've been accurate enough in my feelings on most openers recently that I feel the need to take a big risk and call utter BS on Panda. {nm} ShawnMR May 23, 11:51
