THR: BATM3 has already racked up 25 mil in advance sales, one of the best #s all time; could do 185-195. Paul2k Jul 18, 17:13

Of AVNGR's OW of 207.4, roughly 35 mil came from the 3d upcharge. Paul2k Jul 18, 17:15

At an estimated ticket price of ~$8, BATM3 would need to sell ~4.5M more tickets than AVNGR to get the record, to make up for no 3D. {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Jul 18, 17:20

*average ticket price, I mean. {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Jul 18, 17:20

The $8 average accounts for discount shows, matinees, etc... First run averages are higher {nm} dioneta Jul 18, 17:30

How much higher, do you think? {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Jul 18, 17:39

I'm sure one of the "insiders" on the board has access to the actual number...All public sites do not seem to separate them out {nm} dioneta Jul 18, 17:45

I'm sure it has to be closer to $10 if not slightly more... (a pure and total speculation though) {nm} dioneta Jul 18, 17:47

Avengers was released in 50+ less IMAX screens than TDKR {nm} afranco158 Jul 18, 17:32

Where do you find this info? I always wanted to find it myself {nm} darknightz Jul 18, 18:42

I used my trusted friend, maths, and reasonable estimates. accountant_4_Jesus Jul 18, 18:56

Actually, that's wrong. Updated here: accountant_4_Jesus Jul 18, 19:09

ahhh thank you for that in depth response :) Much appreciated! {nm} darknightz Jul 18, 20:07

So if it sold same number of tickets as Avengers, WEBO would be only 172.4! What about Imax? {nm} Rednax Jul 19, 00:59

So it would need to sell 17% more tickets, roughly, to beat the record, and that seems somewhat unlikely, with the more mature audien austpow Jul 19, 02:45

This was the same rhetoric, for AVNGR, except I remember the top number being bandied around was $170M, even up to the opening day. ;-) {nm} elchan Jul 18, 17:33
