I agree. I tend to be very conservative. It helps to be excited when the numbers break your expectations.

yeah 27-28m seems more realistic but CF is it's own animal, so you never know.

so what does the weekend look like? 65m for CF? 55m for Frz?

I think it's gonna be 22m and 14m deadline fudges numbers. Incredible for both.

They played tv spots for this during Walking Dead and the Patrioits game.Sony spending that ad money.

Title Opening 1. Marvel’s The Avengers $207.4 2. Iron Man 3 $174.1 3. Harry Potter Deathly Hallows 2 $169.1 4. Catching Fire $161.1 5. The Dark Knight Rises $160.8 6. The Dark Knight $158.4 7. The Hunger Games $152.5 8. Spider-Man 3 $151.1 9. Twilight Saga: New Moon $142.8 10. Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn 2 $141 Interesting that the top 10 openers are either superhero or YA book adaptations. Half of which include female-led films. I wonder what the next breakout female led franchise will be? It seems like the perfect time to make a Wonder Woman film. y/n?

The American Music awards are also on tonight, not sure how much that is going to affect Sunday. But Miley Cyrus, Lady Gaga and KAty Perry are performing. So a 33-34% drop is more likely. 71 53 35 159

They played the first trailer in front of Catching Fire. Sony taking advantage of the THG YA audience which is smart. But the competition is fierce with Anchorman and Wolf of Wall Street.

Despicable Me 2 is still in 295 theaters. WTF? lmao

Tokyo as well. There is room to grow the Asian market, i dont think it has reached its peak there yet.

It was heavily promoted in Europe. I think 6 premieres ( london, paris,rome,madrid,berlin,oslo) There werent any in Asia so im not surprised.

Yikes

Excellent. (even though the actuals will be less)

LG probably going with the 160 estimate, just for headlines and watch the actuals be around 157-158. It still beats the November record easily.

Slapping 3d onto any old film cheapens the use of it, plus audiences are not that dumb. They know THG franchise does not need 3d. 

52-53m Saturday estmates

We know. Thats what is going to hinder it from reaching 400m

Nice Saturday recovery. I think it hits 370 DOM when all is said and done.

Italy and France are going to have a big increases, those fans were very excited. I think they did a better job promoting in Europe than any other market.

How is 12YAS disappointing? It should make atleast 40m DOM.

What are the numbers for Best Man Holiday? I want to see if it has a shot at 100m.

lowest-145m highest-155m (which means it barely beats THG OW)

Im gonna be cautious and say it does 145m.

Atleast it didnt go down, 70m is pretty good. So... 70 46 %

how about not putting him in anymore lead roles? It's not like this guy was ever a JIm Carrey or Ben Stiller. Makes no sense to me.
