2016? It will be a forgotten old relic by then, they have to be insane. Lucky to get $80M DOM, even if the games are still around then, if they aren't it will TANK, less than $30M.
-
We have to remember it is christmas.. Even a December record in many countries would only be 5th or 6th for the year at best. The current December US record is would only be 6th for 2012, even $100M is still only 5th.

I dont think Man of Steel will do that well here. It will do ok, but it wont be near the biggest of the year.

For TH.. At my local cinemas the 2D Thursday showings are 90% full, with Friday and Saturday still only 60%. This isnt unusual though and the bookings are picking up fast. We have more screens than we really need here. They rarely sell out, they didnt for BD2 ,TA or TDKR, even Skyfall had free seats for walk-up trade.3D is still slow in the older, larger cinema, but thats usual. The newer Vue is filling up well now and HFR is picking up slowly to.EDIT:3D at Vue is now at 90%, with only one VIP (premium) seat left on Thursday. Friday is at 75%.3D HFR is at about 50%, but it was way way down. I think the reviews might be putting people off the HFR, but not the movie as a whole.

LOL you are out of your mind if you think that.Hobibit wont catch up Skyfall OS, probably not even WW.
-
Thats because Bloom has such a narrow range. He is ok as an elf, and as himself, thats it. Playing yourself in everything is fine if you have a personality. it didnt do Judy Dench any harm, but Bloom was at his limits playing an elf.

There isnt enough 'like' in the world to cover this..#Skyfall now bigger than DarkKnightRises at Intl BO w/ $656.6M. $918.2M global, Sony's top grosser ever beating Spidey3. -
Well he was trained to do that sort of thing, that's all the explanation I needed. If you want to know how he did it watch Batman Begins..No, you really do need more of an explanation than that. Unless what you're saying is that any hero in any movie can do anything, which I strongly disagree with.
-
Its amazing how people pick apart TDKR yet leave TA alone. I mean the entire movie is one massive plot hole after another. That doesnt stop it being entertaining.As for the 7/10 for Skyfall, thats fine, but it means Battleships and BD2 should be under 5.. Under 3 really.Bruce got out of the pit because he's Batman. End of, you need no more explanation than that.

Claiming a movie is 'better' than TDKR is one thing, but giving Battleship 9/10, BD2 9.5/10 and Skyfall 7/10 is a crime against humanity.

Very happy that one of my local multiplexes has just announced its showing in HFR 3D. Its only 300 yards from my house! Its the only one within about 80 miles to do so.

You can try to break it down country to country, but the easiest way is just to check the LOTR splits. It was about 35/65. Given that the international market has expanded a lot more than the US market, its a shorter movie, its gained awareness over the last 10 years and that 3D does better internationally i dont think its unreasonable to expect a 28/72 split this time round, as many movies do. Just feed in your DOM gross of choice.350M = 900m OS400M = 1.028B OS450M = 1.157B OSThis follows the trend of Fantasy generally. Harry Potters split slowly increased toward the OS gross as the years went on, as did LOTR. The only movies that dont do this are the American cultural icons like SW, TA, Batman, Spiderman etc, they are relatively less popular OS.

We've had a real lack of disaster movies this year, a totally wasted opportunity.

I never really understood why that came out in 2009. Wouldnt it have been better to release it in, you know, 2012??But I'm totally gonna watch 2012 in a couple weeks. Fun.

Ok, 'accept it' then..Darwinism and the word "believe" don't belong to each other I am sorry.
-
Let them, its Darwinism, which is pretty ironic really given that most of them are religious nuts and probably dont even believe in it.But how will it end? Aliens, natural disasters or meteors and shit? I read that NASA is receiving letters and emails from people that want to kill their kids because they don't their kids to witness the apocalipse, and from kids themselves that want to suicide to not see the end of the world.

He already had his banker for the 2012 awards, Moneyball. Sorry, just dont like the guys style.How the hell would you get a "give me an Oscar" feeling from Brad Pitt's performance in The Tree of Life?
-
Depends if you like his thing or not, i dont. Its just the feeling i get every time i see one of his recent movies.That's bullshit.
-
Problem is all these movies he's doing just end up feeling like he is saying 'Gimme an Oscar.. pleeease.'. Its almost desperation and you can see it in the movies themselves.Even if they arent making a lot of money, I'm glad Brad Pitt's doing some more unexpected films like The Tree of Life and Killing Them Softly, instead of pulling a Johnny Depp
-
So. You said, specifically, that TA2 and SW would cause TH to drop out the list. Dont back-pedal, it makes you look weak.
-
Not really. Its going to get a 28/72 split give or take a little, thats a bit more OS than ROTK, which is expected given 10 years of international expansion. Feed in the likely DOM figures and you get your answer..
-
Lets wait and see shall we. The only way it will happen is if for some reason SW and TA break from their usual 40/60 split and there is no reason to suspect they will, even a huge event movie in 2012 couldnt break the pattern. Given that Fantasy always splits nearer 30/70 or even 25/75, TH is going to be right up there for some time.Simple fact is you massively over estimate how much the international market likes Americana. SW and TA is that, TH, Potter, even Avatar are not. Toy Story, very American, low OS gross, Ice Age, nationality neutral, huge (relative to DOM). Your bias isnt allowing you to see the big picture!I just dont see the next Avengers matching the first WW, not by at least $250M and SW has no chance, simply not going to happen.TH will go down wether you like it or not.
-
I see TH landing over DH2 worldwide maybe matching TA, due to a high OS split, I dont see SW7 or TA2 doing that, they dont have the international appeal. TA2 wont get within $100M of TA DOM.I don`t care because there will be an epic meltdown. I already see TH predix that "if tracking is slightly behind TDKR at this point and it opens like TDKR, $500 mio is happening." So, yeah, looks like fanboys do care about NA market and want TH to beat superhero movies. Well, too bad TH blows its load in 2012-2014 and after that it`s superheroes turn to push them down.I never said they wouldn`t be successes. It`s impossible not to be a success with such built-in fanbase. i`m just saying that there will be epic meltdowns when all 3 start slipping down the charts fast. I mean, look at Ringer psychology. While other fandoms have no problem pitting the boxoffice from one movie against another from the same fracnhise, you won`t see any TH Over ______(insert LOTR movie) Club. It`s as if they don`t want to face the fact that it inevitbaly means LOTR is falling down. So we get TH Over DH2 even though it really means TH Over Shriekapoo. But, pssst, we don`t talk about that, lets close eyes and ears and pretend it isn`t happening.
-
Superhero, SW and comic book movies NEED the US market to be a success. TH and Avatar dont. Look at the splits and you wil see how relatively less successful hero movies are internationally.Don`t you worry about that. TH fans will have epic meltdowns when TA2 and SW push all 3 TH movies off the cliff.
Skyfall OS thread - 1,000.2M WW (289.6M+710.6M)

So what do we think skyfall needs OS to pass the attendance of The Avengers? I realise its almost impossible to calculate, but estimate of $780M?
