    You are jaded.

    What's so difficult to understand here? Yes, studios are out to make money, i never denied that. But unlike jaded individuals i still believe in honesty in some people. When PJ says the incentive to make 3 movies came from the filmmaking team, i believe him. Again, the studio won't say no to additional profit.

    From a 300 page book that could have been 600 pages had it been written in the same style as lotr.

    No, you are are jaded individual, who thinks every decision is about money. Well, yes, the studio probably didn't have a lot against making more cash due to 3 movies but it was the filmmakers approaching them.Sorry, fishnets, i don't read you posts. Reading the same crap over and over is tiresome.

    Hear, hear!

    $900m are saying that. Studios have made sequels for much less reasons.Btw, it wasn't a studio attempting to rake in more cash, it was the filmmakers wanting to tell more of the story.

    You guys are hilarious.

    No, not bad.

    So about as much as last week.I checked ROTK. It made $126m on its first 5 days, then $142m the week after from the same markets. With Australia opening, maybe Hobbit can increase, too...

    Where do you see it at the end of next sunday OS?
  11. Elessar
    I'm already taking into account holidays.
  12. Elessar
    Do you still see $700m as possible? From $284m to $700m is a LOOOOONG way.I don't see it, not without a big breakout in China.

    So is next week as great overseas as in North America box office wise?
  14. Elessar
    Meh, didn't hit $100m.

    Batman? Have you watched Batman & Robin?While many top earners are in 3D, they still sell only a fraction of total tickets in a given year, plus the 3D share of said movies are less than 50%.
  16. Elessar
    It does work that way, sometimes. Look at Toy Story.Why should 2011 be up 126%? Only a fraction of all tickets sold are in 3D, the vast majority of movies are in 2D.
  17. Elessar
    And i don't. Last time i checked $400m is much less than $550m. Even without 3D ROTK adjusts to close to $500m.
  18. Elessar
    If ROTK can manage $550m adjusted for 3D / inflation DOM and probably around $1.8b (including market expansion in countries such as China and Russia) WW, then predicting something like $400m DOM / $1.4b WW for Hobbit is not out of whack.

    The term bombing is not applicable to a movie making such amounts of money.
  20. Elessar
    I schooled you, didn't i?
  21. Elessar
    I think that's a great exaggeration. There was no Twilight level hate going on. Women and men went in great number, old and young.
  22. Elessar
    No, you are just having bad taste.
  23. Elessar
    Hyperbole.
  24. Elessar
    No, the hold during the week was already bad. The Friday increase is normal for this day as seen by other movies also increasing little.
  25. Elessar
    People are twisting words. The school argument was in relation to the Monday drop. Had it held better during the week it would have had a respectable weekend drop as well. Nobody said the Tuesday increase was weak due to kids being in school.
