It wasn't hogwash. That number of $12 million was guarenteed the second they announced the promotion because Wal-Mart was paying.....

Posted by: nilephelan on Jun 17, 21:44 in response to thatpj's post I guess all that talk about wal mart giving away tickets...

.... the full price to theaters (and Warner Bros.) by way of this.  Ask Notfabio.  They didn't sell well at all across the country, but they "sold".  

If you want a comparison, the number was as accurate as when you see a sports team announce like 15,000 tickets sold but you look in the stands and there are about 5,000 people sitting there.  

Actual MOS 116.7 3 day Sunday down less than 1% {nm} 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

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

*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
