I agree about Kili/Tauriel and i have griped about it before. I do not agree about the rest.

I found it in the Hobbit.

Some emotional depth.

In relative terms and as far as i'm concerned, it's true.

I have never cared about anyone in a Marvel movie. They are fluff, you forget about it the moment you leave the cinema. Hobbit is a cinematic masterpiece compared to that.

wtf, you spaniards! shame on you! Maybe this weekend is not as box office friendly and it'll stay flat next weekend. Any idea why they didn't release it last week?

And we all know why.

You read a lot about it debuting better in a lot of markets (in USD), yet looking at its total, it kinda doesn't show. Seems like higher weekend drops to me....

Sure but even in a market like Spain, how much would 2nd week gross amount to, $5m? Saying it's doing about the same as DOS so far (in USD) seems not to be far from the truth.

I know about the exchange rate. Just saying.

Hence not apples and apples. But i don't see BOFA doing better than previous entries to be honest. About the same. So far. It needs that China increase for the billion.

Dunno what to make of it. It's less than both AUJ and DOS at the same point in time ($288.5m, $278.4m) but it's not exactly apples and apples.

BOM has the dailies up. 90m should be the correct number.

wtf

Alfrid pretty much had that part.

Good number for Hobbitses!

I still use my phone primarily for... wait for it... making phone calls!

Sorry, it's too soon to say anything. Had the exchange rates been like last year, than yeah, i would have probably sang the same tune. Right now, it could go either way.

That applies to all Marvel movies.

That's still very much up in the air.

But its 3rd weekend (and a couple days after) will be substantially lower. It will likely come short of DOS.

Well, i hope. LOTRs did increase less. But they also did increase less on Friday, so... *fingers crossed*

Even better.
