I question the reliability of an unsourced forum post, but the most recent comment in that thread for Saturday is "Looking at 67-70 atm" {nm}

RTH via BOT suggests SUICD Saturday "mid 30s maybe." second gary Aug 06, 16:30

If that holds, what, $120-125M OW? {nm} ~JPV~ Aug 06, 16:40

SUPE2 Saturday was -38% below Friday, and Sunday a further -33%. If SUICD has a 35M Saturday, and it follows SUPE2, then. . . second gary Aug 06, 16:47

Yeah I'm thinking around there as well MattW Aug 06, 17:17

I wonder if T-mobile / Walmart-style promotions only show up when a tentpole film is sensed, by insiders, to be in deep trouble? second gary Aug 06, 17:25

Yes--specifically, deals where they give away free movie tickets in hopes SOMEONE SOMEWHERE will like it, and get paying customer(s) by WOM. {nm} chosenone2oo5 Aug 06, 20:31

Rth is a verified insider with access to numbers. I don't know the person who posted the other take. {nm} RogerMore Aug 06, 18:00

The other post is by a dc fanboy with no inside info who was predicting over 200 going into the weekend. I've been watching that thread {nm} MattW Aug 06, 18:03

Thanks (200 pages with gif avatars is too much for me to follow) {nm} RogerMore Aug 06, 18:24

I have yet to believe any DC Comics film can deliver $200M+ after "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" screwed the goodwill pooch. ARR-ARR!! {nm} chosenone2oo5 Aug 06, 20:32

The post you are quoting is from 'Excel" ... you need to do more research... RazorHawk Aug 06, 18:16

So if this has, my take is that the comic book fans loved it, but no one else showed up {nm} tealfan Aug 06, 18:02

The reviews are definitely damning, but that high of a drop from Friday to Saturday feels unlikely. hilarycondon Aug 06, 18:10

Why does it feel unlikely? True Friday is 44.6. WOM can definitely affect the Saturday after the opening Friday. {nm} Jay_Beezy Aug 06, 18:16

Agree with Jay - many of us said 6x multiplier plus free tickets...that's right in line with our expectations... {nm} TwoMisfits Aug 06, 18:26

Also, a misleading part of marketing. *SPOILERS* Jay_Beezy Aug 06, 19:18

I feel bad for Sinister Six {nm} RazorHawk Aug 06, 18:18

Just back and the theater was packed {nm} tradermark Aug 06, 18:07

Well, one would still need a lot of packed theatres to have a 35M Saturday. :) {nm} second gary Aug 06, 18:22

What second gary said. On a different note - What did you think of the movie? {nm} shadowking Aug 06, 18:25

My anecdotal comic book shop conversation tonight... TwoMisfits Aug 06, 21:05
