It's a thriller. {nm} Facto May 03, 10:27

What are it's comparative advantages or disadvantages against TDK's opening weekend slot.. ? {nm} Facto May 03, 10:27

The advantage is it has no significant holdover competition or a 50+ opener until the studio's own Shrek, unclouded anticipation {nm} notfabio May 03, 10:43

the disadvantage is that school is in, so its weekdays won't be remotely as strong, it also only has two weeks in IMAX (besides midnights) {nm} notfabio May 03, 10:45

Spider-Man and Spider-Man 3 both proved that this doesn't matter. {nm} secretstalker May 03, 10:49

the spidey b/o take makes me much more optimistic about IRM2. I don't think there is any chance it takes in less than 150 {nm} tbonearelli May 03, 10:57

I'm thinking strictly in terms of opening weekend, when I say thriller :-) It won't beat out Avatar, so it's all about the OW, isn't it? :) {nm} Facto May 03, 10:45

It is a half hour shorter. I don't know how much that might help, but it's a factor {nm} TelemachusYTD May 03, 11:49

I'm predicting 163.7 {nm} Borat May 03, 10:27

What were RS/MTC numbers for previous record-breakers? I still feel that this has a great chance to hit 165-170m {nm} ShawnMR May 03, 10:56

THR: Iron Man 2 now available online for free.. Ugh. The people who stoop to the depths of watching it this way... Facto May 03, 11:16

...and you just provided a link to it. Doesn't that make you complicit? {nm} RupertPupkin May 03, 11:29

I hardly think so - it's THR, so someone would have posted it anywas. Better I did it, perhaps, replete with condemnation.. {nm} Facto May 03, 16:24

Why is this a story? It happens to 100% of wide releases. {nm} lukesed May 03, 12:09

This is what they get for releasing it a week early to the Euros. Hooray360 May 03, 14:14
