Lol. Twihards > Fanboys islander Dec 10, 11:48

seems low, would need to avg $50k per screen to get to $195M {nm} lapuckfan Dec 10, 11:54

that's theaters, not total screens {nm} slipping jimmy Dec 10, 11:59

^this {nm} RamsFan2004 Dec 10, 12:01

It's the same thing when calculating the PTA/PSA. $195M/39000 = $50,000 average. {nm} Antibody Dec 10, 12:05

$195M/3900 {nm} Antibody Dec 10, 12:06

Plus some are running round the clock. {nm} hyperzeitgeist Dec 10, 12:06

Most people only need to see it once, whether it's Fri 3am or Sun 6pm. {nm} Antibody Dec 10, 12:23

Who really goes to a 4AM show? {nm} skunkrunner Dec 10, 13:35

Show up at 4am and ask. People do lots of things for reasons personal to them {nm} BSmurf Dec 10, 15:40

Avengers avg $47,698; JW $48,855; TDK $36,283; TDKR $36,532 {nm} Antibody Dec 10, 12:10

If my memory success someone said back when ultron opened that the reason it had fewer theaters than the first avengers MattW Dec 10, 11:57

*serves not success {nm} MattW Dec 10, 11:59

In this case though is not about exclusivity, but the restrictions to run on the biggest theater(s) for a month. {nm} Antibody Dec 10, 12:16

I meant screen(s) within a theater {nm} Antibody Dec 10, 12:16

I've read 4400+ so that figure is a tad low. {nm} Baron_Darcon Dec 10, 13:06

3900 came from Disney. Anything you read before was someone's guess. {nm} Antibody Dec 10, 13:14

Took a theater/show/screen count during IM3's OW and made a chart. Some basic data, w/Catching Fire added: m051293 Dec 10, 12:06

Thanks for putting that all in 1 place. {nm} JDolphin Dec 11, 01:08

250 fewer screens than JURA4, AVNG2 & HGAM4?? I'm sorry but thats just not possible. {nm} skunkrunner Dec 10, 12:23

*waves hand* "These are not the movie screens you are looking for." {nm} DTravel Dec 10, 12:37

Many Drive-ins and seasonal theaters are not open in winter {nm} islander Dec 10, 12:56

If that # is accurate then that tells me... skunkrunner Dec 10, 13:08

Disney's plan all along has been holiday legs. The stipulated that STAR7 has to stay on the biggest screen(s) for 4 or more weeks. {nm} Antibody Dec 10, 13:13

So with 3900 theaters how many screens might that be? Still selling like wildfire and selling out lots of theaters already. With that Baron_Darcon Dec 10, 14:05
