    Me too.

    It's amazing how we are able to accurately project end run grosses based off of the first four days. When I talk to people about boxoffice projections and say XYZ movie will probably gross $140-150 based on Monday's gross, they are like "how can you know that??"

    The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey

    in Review That Movie! (Spoilers Allowed)

    Posted · Edited by lilmac

    I thoroughly enjoyed Hobbit I. There were alot of ideas taken from LOTR (score and other scenes lifted from the previous trilogy) I didn't particularly care for but which I think will help three years from now when we can watch all 6 movies in 8K HD. I didn't at all think the story was drawn out unnecessarily or that it was bloated. The critics got it wrong IMO. Hobbit I isn't as good as the LOTR movies but it belongs in the same room. I hope the IMDB ranking, FWIW, stays in the top 100, it is very deserving.Judging by the reviews on the various discussion boards and talkbacks, I think WOM is better than the RT would indicate. I hope that translates into ROTK legs (one can hope) but at the very least $301 million +

    I never liked the second trailer much myself, especially now that I've seen the movie. They played up the Bomber fat jokes and whatnot when that kind of thing is barely even in the movie. I thought the first trailer was perfect, but after that the marketing was very weak.

    Agreed. I think he was going to have a bigger role. I doubt we'll see much of that in the 2nd and 3rd movies since, I assume, they will be more somber and weighty in tone.

    Its rare for a film to regain the top spot but it does happen. It's rarer for films to debut at 2 or 3 then gain the top spot which has happened a number of time with films like Aladdin, Tangled, There's Something about Mary and A Fish called Wanda.Lincoln is doing superbly and is days from reaching $100m. It's a slightly tougher sell OS but I think it could do around $100m too.

    Off topic but that's why E.T.'s boxoffice run remains the most impressive boxoffice performance....ever (even adjusting for the advent of HV). It was in theaters for 6-7 months and regained the #1 (albeit at a lowly $6-7mil adjusted).

    Weekend#s BD2 $43.1M/$227M, Skyfall 36/221.7, Linc 25/62.2, Rise 24/32.6, Pi 22/30.2, Ralph 16.8/1

    This, I think that eventually what'll stop it from doing 150m is theatre loss during the holidays. There's no way it can keep 2000+ theatres or keep expanding with the holidays coming up. I suppose it could expand again next week before Hobbit comes in an takes everyone's theatres.

    I see $135 - $140m for Lincoln. With robust HV & TV revenues to follow we have another profitable quality product from Spielberg. The man is amazing.
