Actual MOS 116.7 3 day Sunday down less than 1% notfabio Jun 17, 07:25

wow, that's really awesome. {nm} lobogotti Jun 17, 07:43

Being that it was Fathers' Day, might not be so awesome. {nm} mysti HSX Jun 17, 07:54

Green Lantern was down 10% on its Fathers Day Sunday so still impressive {nm} notfabio Jun 17, 07:57

people loved GL though. Oleg Max Jun 17, 07:58

Yet curiously, GL seems to have the lowest Father's Day drop before SUPR2; Batman Begins may be third. Go DC Dads! :-) {nm} KalElFan Jun 17, 09:50

I said that was awesome because I had never see a drop that low outside of a Mothers Day run. RogerMore had some stats about Sunday lobogotti Jun 17, 12:01

It actually is the best fathers day hold in history {nm} notfabio Jun 17, 08:36

Yep, I can't find any better than GL actually. Batman Begins dropped 13.1% but it opened the Wed. Toy Story 3 dropped 13.5% {nm} KalElFan Jun 17, 09:46

BB's Final # (not delist) was 2.816 of its Father's Day cume. If SUPR2 does that it'll end with $326.76M. {nm} KalElFan Jun 17, 09:48

I guess all that talk about wal mart giving away tickets was hogwash {nm} thatpj Jun 17, 09:03

Walmart of only Thursday, not Sunday. {nm} Antibody Jun 17, 09:28

Did nilephelan ever provide the evidence you'd asked for though, that there were only $2.5M or so Thu 7pm actually sold? {nm} KalElFan Jun 17, 09:36

But implication of "walmart not selling tickets" meme was that film was not as popular as it was showing to be {nm} thatpj Jun 17, 11:00

There were 100++ sponsors putting iup $160M. Maybe they all got allocated tickets for customers, employees, contests, etc. {nm} KalElFan Jun 17, 12:30

Picked up via WalMart not "given away" but fully paid for. The only place I saw this become an issue was nilephelan's post. {nm} KalElFan Jun 17, 12:31

It wasn't hogwash. That number of $12 million was guarenteed the second they announced the promotion because Wal-Mart was paying..... nilephelan Jun 17, 21:44

*Guaranteed* - sorry for the spelling error {nm} nilephelan Jun 17, 21:46

Even that's speculation but the "hogwash" thatpj referred to is you saying 20% were sold 80% given away. You cited no source for that. {nm} KalElFan Jun 18, 01:24

And notfabio's report was midnights 3x WalMart, but whitewalls was WalMart 5x midnights. So it varied; zero proof of 80% giveaways. {nm} KalElFan Jun 18, 01:28

That $116.7M domestic for SUPR2 is just over what Green Lantern made in its entire run ($116.6M) :-) {nm} KalElFan Jun 17, 09:51
