  1. I think It would be a great move OS, i really want MJ2 to make more than BD2 OS.

    I'm fairly confident it will regardless but I agree, it would be a very smart move. I wonder when we'll hear confirmation of a 3D China release for MJ1. Wonder how much that will help with penetration into China's box office market. MJ2 could look very cool in 3D. If there was ever a HG movie to be 3D, it's obviously MJ2!

  2. Do you guys think that Liongaste will announce MJ2 in 3D after Insurgent?

    I think it depends on how much it helps Insurgent. If Insurgent opens over $70m and has a 30%+ 3D percentage, then yes. Also, if Insurgent increases a good amount from Divergent overseas.

  3. Hobbit 3 now grossed 207mln in 17 days, thats very high number.

    I wish it could cross $300m but the expected $22m for this weekend makes me think $280 might be a better place to aim. I was hoping for $25m+. I really wanted three movies to cross $300m for the year!

  4. $4.5 million ($331 million)

    $3.5 million/$4 million ($336 million)

    $2.5 million ($339 million)

    $1.5 million ($341 million)

    $1 million ($342 million)

    $347 million DOM

    That'd be a great finish. Especially since everyone thought $275-285 million after MJ1's OW :lol: they should know by now Hunger Games is a leggy franchise.

    That's the number I keep reaching as well. I tried to be a little more generous with one of my calculations and got $348.7m. I'll still pull for a finish across $350m in the meantime.

  5. Mockingjay! 340m is a lock, and 345m is a distinct possibility if it continues to hold better than CF. Even 350m isn't out of the question just yet. Very impressive legs, even with the holidays.

    That would be incredible! $350 was on the low end of some peoples MJ1 predictions prior to release. No one expected it to go below $350 though.

  6. I was expected $8.5m this weekend for WiB2. Definitely surprised this could cross $6m in it's opening day. Was it marketed very well? Because I haven't seen any tv spots or trailers for the film. Either way, as stated above the legs will be bad but it will still end up making nearly double what I was expecting for it. So that's good I guess.

  7. The thing about MJ1 is that, the one thing it for sure does well no matter what you think of the entire movie, is set up Part 2 perfectly. I can't see the people that have seen the first 3 skipping this one (especially after seeing the trailers it should have), and those who skipped MJ1 in theaters will probably end up seeing it at home before MJ2 is out.

    It may not beat CF, but I think 400 is quite doable. DH2 increased almost $90mil from DH1. It's certainly not impossible. PLUS, if it kicks as much ass as it should (and they fix a certain gripe), the WOM should be wild.

    Which certain gripe?

  8. July 2016 looks like a good date, not much competition till Apes 3, and then Suicide Squad in August

    July (Details)

    The BFG (BV) - 7/1

    Tarzan (2016) (WB) - 7/1

    Star Trek 3 (Par.) - 7/8

    Ice Age 5 (Fox) - 7/15

    Untitled Next Bourne Chapter (Uni.) - 7/15

    King Arthur (2016) (WB) - 7/22

    Power Rangers (2016) (LGF) - 7/22

    Untitled Planet of the Apes (Fox) - 7/29

    I think Power Rangers is being underestimated.

  9. Beyond the 2012 renovation? I don't believe so.

    Honestly, I haven't seen anything at the PACCAR in probably 20 years, well before the renovation. So I have no idea what it's like in comparison.

    I saw the First Hunger Games in PACCAR because they had The Lorax in Boeing. This was post renovation and it still looked bad. And the seats didn't curve but were in a half hexagon shape that made the viewing experience odd.

  10. The Pacific Science Center in Seattle is keeping Interstellar on the Boeing IMAX screen. The Hobbit is playing on the smaller PACCAR IMAX screen.

    I wonder if they're just going to keep Insterstellar there for the forseeable future. There's a planned renovation for the Boeing theater in the spring, so they may play it until that happens.

    It's going to get a new screen, laser projector, new sound, and so forth. I'm not entirely sure they're going to keep the 15/70 projector after that, although I hope they do. Their site (http://www.pacificsciencecenter.org/Future-Ready/the-future-of-imax) isn't entirely clear. Although, aside from that, it sounds really cool. The renovated Cinerama with Atmos and a Christie 6p projector was really nice for the Hobbit (2d) marathon yesterday. Good time for movies in Seattle.

    Any updates for PACCAR? That theater is not the nicest.
