Weekend Actuals vs Sunday's Studio Projections
The weekend Studio Projections (Friday and Saturday actual numbers with estimates for Sunday's box office) were high for Captain America ($700,000 higher than the actual weekend) and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 (also an over-estimate of $700,000). [Mitch Salem footnote: not surprisingly, the reduction in Captain America's gross means it didn't beat out Thor after all for biggest superhero opening of the summer.] The Sunday estimates for the other movies were close to the actual weekend results out today.
