I'm a fan of the long range forecast, though I can never seem to find those weekly articles that were updated with new release forecasts.More accessible BO numbers if possible. Shawns weekend analysis is really good, maybe an International small analysis weekly.
There is nothing more satisfying then going to a theater knowing you are going to get an entertaining film and coming out of it satisfied. This is why TA is finding legs.
I would hardly call it horrible but more underwhelming, it was released in winter when OW rush factor isn't as in full effect as it would be in summer, DH1 made up for the OW with it's legs, people were predicting 270m total after that OW.The films were on a downhill trajectory after GOF so selling less than 40m tickets isn't much of a surprise.
Yes Noctis corrected me on this on facebook, regardless DH1 acted normally, DH2 was an over performer. We wouldn't be hearing a word about DH1 under performing if it made a dollar over 300m, us Potter fans are just obsessive about that milestone because it eluded us so many times.
