I was just reading an article that said that The Avengers took in a "disappointing" $18.7 million in its midnight showings. They blame it on the fact that Thursday night was a school night for the target audience. But Thursday nights are almost always school nights for the target audience because seemingly almost every film is aimed at that same target audience, so if they could come out for the other films on a school night, that's no excuse this time around. But what I would say is a more valid excuse is that The Avengers is not a sequel and sequels tend to bring out more people because they have a much better idea of what they're in for than they do when it comes to a non-sequel film. And really, what has the entertainment media come to when they think $18.7 million is a disappointment? And though I could be wrong, I suspect that's most probably more than DS will pull in for its midnight shows next week. Though, of course, expectations are not anywhere near as high for DS as they are for The Avengers. And speaking of the expectations for The Avengers, forecasts are that it will bring in between $150 and $200 million this upcoming weekend. I suppose we'll see - but I would not be the slightest bit surprised if it does. On the other hand, it will be interesting to see what the forecast will be for DS. A few months back Empire Magazine forecast a $60 million opening weekend in the US. Again, I suppose we'll see - but as I said back then, that could be optimistic...
