Yeah, I think more than %50. I would agree with Geezer's number.

Also, I'm going to have to hope Hunger Games holds better than Iron Man in the year long league, because I don't think it has the chops to open as big as Iron Man did.

Avengers only dropped 50% last year, maybe Iron Man can maintain the same level, although I'm enclined to think it will drop a bit more than that.

I don't think Iron Man 3 has quite the good WOM that The Avengers had. From what I've read, it's split right down the middle, ala The Dark Knight Rises.

I could see it dropping 60%, mostly because it doesn't really seem to have much rewatch value IMO.

Yeah, Avengers is the exception, not the rule. 50-60% drop would be normal and sounds about right.

So I was scrolling through the Ultimate round 5 slates and damn, almost EVERYONE took Iron Man 3. I didn't. Which means I'm either going to finish very well, or get cut. Certainly depends what the big guns do later on in the season :)

I took a risk and didn't take IM3 in a few slates. I figured I could take Trek 2 or Superman and beat the others on PTA and T5 points.

In the May leagues, I only put Iron Man in half of my slates. We'll see.

How many Top 5 points has 42 already won ? It seems poised to grab a couple more this weekend, and I guess it'll get one more again the next one, amazing.

About 15 points so far. It was a great Ultimate pick.

I'm not sure what was a bigger pleasant surprise, 42's 15 Top 5 points or The Croods' 20. Wish I'd taken The Croods on more slates.
