Getting reports from industry people (producers, publicists) that it's true, not a hoax.
I noticed earlier this week that female contribution for CF was $15 million less than that for THG and I made a post on one of the threads that this is something to be paid attention to in the week to come. I think pre-thanksgiving weekend caused it to perform differently from THG and it could've broken the 2D OW record with around $180 million if it had opened in March. This is why tracking was a bit off.

UPDATE: Both #1 'Catching Fire' and #2 'Frozen' to easily beat record for 5-day Thanksgiving holiday ($82.4M) set by 2001 'Harry Potter/SS'.

Fourth weekend in a row that Harvey Weinstein has been spoonfeeding Top 10 box office inaccurate numbers to Deadline.
:lol:
Nikki Finke @NikkiFinke 10m
FRIDAY Box Office: #1 Lionsgate's 'Catching Fire' targeting huge $33M and $80M 3-day FSS and $117M five-day weekend for $304M domestic cume.

FRIDAY Box Office: #2 Disney's 'Frozen' scoring big $30M and targeting $75M FSS and $101M five-day weekend.
$400 million is a lock for CF with these numbers and Frozen is doing $300 million.
Both movies are following identical schedule but CF is doing much more. 35% is probably the low end. It can do as much as 50% better than potter which will take it over $410 million.
I am assuming it will do at least 35% better than Potter. It is facing more competition though with Hobbit and then another 10 movies opening or expanding between 13th and 25th.
So around $74-75 million weekend + 35-36 million wed/thu numbers. Catching Fire will be at around $295-296 million exactly where it needs to be to reach 400 million after the first 10 days.
+35% over DH1 after first 10 days.
DH1 made $76 million rest of the way.
76 * 1.35 = 102.6
This comes out to be around $399 million so it will be right on track for 400 million.
