STID "tracking" for $85-90 million opening [U.S. box office]

Yes, awesome logic. "Into Darkness" is currently number 8 and people "stopped coming to see it," yet Iron Man 3 is number 11 and people are "still seeing it."
Well yeah, Tulin's logic does fall apart when you consider that STID is running on hundreds of more screens in the U.S. right now that IM3, and still will be this weekend. 
Then you must have despised Berman Trek.
That was a long and painful death spiral.
Keep spinning that STiD is in trouble guys...'cause it's damn funny.
Yep, gone in Parkersburg too, but still at least one more week in Charleston and Wheeling just in case you want to make a road trip!
Wheeling is closer to me than Charleston, but then so is Pittsburgh, which still has a few theaters playing STID.
Even closer than either of those cities: Washington, PA. The Regal there is showing Trek once a day this weekend.
Here, in Kingston, it is still playing in both our cinemas. Cineplex has it in 3D, and Empire has it in 2D and 3D.
Yeah, guess that's why Hangover III is making more in its 3rd week of Brazilian release than STID is in its first week even though STID is showing in 10% more theaters than Hangover III. If only things were more calm and peaceful.
Wow.
Hope you're staying safe, ralph and things settle down quickly.

That was a needlessly rude reaction to such a harmless and mundane comment. Cool it with the attitude.

Cities are calm. The protests are against government agencies. The protest was against corruption and the recent scandals Involving allegations of embezzling public money with FIFA World Cup in Brazil. Previous governments used the policy of bread and circuses to make people feel happy, without protest. But today there is a different thought. Soccer is the national passion but it's not the most important thing to brazillian.
For those dudes who are fascinated by the adjusted for inflation boxoffice numbers, it has now passed Wrath of Khan:

Thursday number: $522,864 for $213,610,916 so far. Box office was hampered on Thursday across the board because of the big NBA game. Friday increases should be bigger than usual as things return to normal.
Do you have the sense that I do, that doing the "adjusted numbers" thing in comparing box office is basically bullshit? By that I mean it misleads into the notion that we're then comparing apples to apples, but that's premised on the ridiculous proposition that all other variables are somehow equal or can be made equal.
IMAO there's actually no reasonable way to compare either the economic decisions or the taste of someone in, say, 1939 deciding to spend some change on The Wizard Of Oz to someone deciding in 2009 to drop twenty dollars to see Avatar in IMAX. It's always apples-to-oranges.
