ERC: 9,4M first Monday for [IRNM2], which puts cume at 137M for now Facto May 11, 08:02

Pirates 2 did exactly twice that on its first Monday ($18,140,271M on July 10, 2006) {nm} Facto May 11, 08:04

Not surprising, given the summer release of Pirates 2.. Hooray360 May 11, 08:21

SPID3 - 10.3M in May {nm} lukesed May 11, 11:40

As Hooray said, there wasn't school on that date while there's school yesterday. {nm} secretstalker May 11, 08:30

Yes, which is why IRNM2 will have a real hard time reaching the BW-target of 370M - school and finals to compete with for several more weeks {nm} Facto May 11, 08:32

Yeah, but then school will let out... it has three months to make 3 times its opening weekend which isn't unheard of secretstalker May 11, 08:37

Well, we'll see :-)) {nm} Facto May 11, 09:22

Will it have the theaters still? {nm} fourstars May 11, 10:22

I'm pretty sure it will have shed the vast majority of it's locations 3 months from now. Others may correct me if I'm wrong. {nm} Facto May 11, 10:30

Most big movies get a three-week guarantee and there's no reason that it can't remain in over 4,000 theaters through Memorial Day. {nm} secretstalker May 11, 10:49

Yes, but we were talking about in 3 *months* .. :-) Talking about the BW-prospects.. {nm} Facto May 11, 10:55

Yes, and the fact it has three months gives it a much better chance of making it in cumulative box office. {nm} secretstalker May 11, 12:08

What did Iron Man 1 do on its first Monday? I remember WOM was nuts. {nm} Borat May 11, 10:07
