lab276 Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 The important part: "That outstrips the previous film in the series,” The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug,” which made $8.8 million in pre-shows, though it falls short of the first installment,”The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey,” which roped in $13 million."

spizzer Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Considering its a Tuesday and that 3D % has likely gone down with each subsequent release, 11.2M would be the strongest preview number of the three IMO, if it is correct. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frozen Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 What Variety is reporting doesn't make sense to me. They are saying $75 million 5 day is the best of the series, but it wouldn't be since the others made that over a 3 day. Do they actually mean $75 million for the weekend only? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about cheap Tuesday? I know it's huge in Canada, that might have made the numbers jump a little, perhaps? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
