shareMar 11 Friday 1 $18,700,000 -67%
67% drop from last weekend, not very good legs. prob just residual Twilight fans showing up now.
That's irrelevant, last Friday included Thursday! Only the weekend drop matters. Why didn't you read the article before making a fool of yourself?

I give the edge to mojo.
it's projected to come in at around $66m for the weekend, which would be a 51% drop, very good for a comic book film or any wide release really.
i didn't like it much but clearly it's holding nicely.
No one is assessing "legs" by comparing opening Fri (+previews) to Fri this week, except you.
The hold is in regard to the weekend, like both articles and both replies already stated. Box Office Mojo doesn't state the weekend yet b/c the numbers aren't in, so there's no disagreement with Collider or Deadline. 67% is for Friday, 51% is for the weekend.
"Warner Bros.’ The Batman, as expected, is leading the weekend box office in what is expected to be a three-frame No. 1 streak with a very healthy hold of -51% and $66M, on its way to $238.5M by Sunday. Already, the Matt Reeves directed movie is over $400M WW. Yesterday clocked $18.7M, -47% from last Friday (-67% if you compare against pic’s first Friday+previews)."
"With an $18.7 million gross on its second Friday, director Matt Reeves’ The Batman is poised to make $66 million this weekend. This would make for a remarkably strong 51% drop, which is better than the drops registered by fellow D.C. movies Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (69%), The Dark Knight Rises (61%), Justice League (56%) and even The Dark Knight (53%)."
I was just comparing Fridays and it showed a drop. No more, no less.
shareYou did say more.
"Box office mojo disagrees with collider"
Not true. You compared their Fri numbers with the weekend projection b/c you didn't read. And comparing opening Fri with previews to the next Fri alone isn't indicative. The drop between Fridays alone was 47%.
And no one looks at this run so far and concludes, "not very good legs." None of the reported numbers ever supported that.
the idiomatic use of "no more than" and "no less than"
You use no more than or not more than when you want to emphasize how small a number or amount is. (emphasis) ⇒ "He was a kid really, not more than eighteen or nineteen."
The following is the item 9. phrase of the word less from COBUILD online dictionary.
You use no less than before an amount to indicate that the amount is larger than you expected. (emphasis) ⇒ "No less than 35 per cent of the country is protected in the form of parks and nature sanctuaries." ⇒ "He is lined up for no less than four U.S. television interviews."
My questions are
Why doesn't "not less than" have the same idiomatic meaning (larger than you expected) as "no less than" while "not more than" has the same idiomatic meaning as "no more than"?
How did "no more than" and "no less than" get their idiomatic meanings?
When do you take the meaning of theses phrases literally, and when do you take the meaning of theses phrases idiomatically.
no more, no less is just a common English phrase, I apologize if you dont understand it.
All I did was observe a drop from both Fridays and make an opinion. The drop is a fact and having no legs is my opinion, if you dont agree than thats ok. its my opinion to make.
Box office mojo said it was 67%, you need to send them a message and tell them they are wrong then. all I did was copy and paste from their website.
"Warner Bros.’ The Batman, as expected, is leading the weekend box office in what is expected to be a three-frame No. 1 streak with a very healthy hold of -51% and $66M, on its way to $238.5M by Sunday. Already, the Matt Reeves directed movie is over $400M WW. Yesterday clocked $18.7M, -47% from last Friday (*****-67%*****) if you compare against pic’s first Friday+previews)."
Wasn't my boldface of the same numbers enough? No one questioned the number. What was in question was the use of that number, Fri + PREVIEWS vs FRi, to suggest lack of legs, when the article from Deadline, an industry trade, in the OP, used the standard measure, the WEEKEND, to indicate the opposite.
Then, when given another article from Collider, you say there's a disagreement with Box Office Mojo, and that you go with Box Office Mojo.
What exactly is the disagreement?
BOM just gives the numbers. So where is this clash, when Collider mentions the Fri AND the weekend 51%, and BOM showed only the Fri?
You never get around to that in your reply above -- b/c there is no disagreement.
Two different numbers representing different ranges with different implications.
BOM didn't give an opinion, so what exactly does "I give the edge to Box Office Mojo" mean?
It means nothing -- unless you stupidly thought the 51% in Collider was referring only to Fri -- which is what you obviously did, because you didn't really read Collider's article any more than Deadline's.
And the below isn't a mere opinion.
"67% drop from last weekend, not very good legs"
It's taking a number and pretending it's suggestive of something that it isn't. The fact that you lead with the % shows that you think that number proves your conclusion objectively. And strange that you said "from last weekend" rather than "from last Friday", huh?
You conflated the two into some half-assed attempt to attack, but left reality in the process. Now, you're already on to "no competition" as to why it held so well, but I thought it already showed "not very good legs" as recently as yesterday? What a difference a day makes! But the entire story was in the OP from the start, with every number, and its meaning, parsed out. And not once was there a disconnect with Box Office Mojo. Deadline, Collider, and BOM, had the same **Fri** number, as anyone would expect -- except for someone desperately looking to defend a silly misfire born of hoping for failure.
these are the numbers from Box office mojo, not me. I was just reporting that there was a drop between Fridays. seems like your argument should be with the internet not me.

no one likes Twilight Man. it will be the Batman and Robin of the franchise.

Not really true though. Pattinson has proven his worth as an actor in movies such as The Lighthouse and Cosmopolis. Few cinema goers give a second though to Twilight.
The same person said this today.
