72% dropoff. That's worse than green lantern even o.o

I can't even guess why

--
Fresh from my first justified ban. Ever!

Because a lot of the people who wanted to see it saw it the first week it came out.

It's already at 274 million made in the US alone. To say a dropoff wasn't expected would be silly.

Yes, I know I'm never getting rid of this signature

^Sure, but the drop-off was huge. I don't believe this is typical for blockbusters, so something's up.

Typical dropoff for anticipated movies like HP is around 40-50%

Everybody already saw it three times.

Okay, I rolled a 14. What's that mean? Hsu

Everyone who wanted to see it has, now it's just there. Its first week was just that huge.

Alternatively, if we HAVE to put a negative spin on it...

Awkward Voldemort moments.

Now this is entertainment!

Again, a lot of people who wanted to see it saw it ASAP. Most of the sales now are going to come from repeat viewings.

I mean, let's get real: there was no way in hell HP7p2 was making anywhere close to the 120+ million it made it's first weekend. Mind you, 47 million is a bit lower than I thought it would make this weekend (I would have personally guess 65 or so), but a dropoff this big is still not THAT surprising.

Average drop-off is 40-50%. How else would you spin it?

It's because Harry Potter was up against AMERICA :D
