Yes, Hobbit2 will hit hard all the movies on its way bar animate.
I was looking at the Hobbit1 overseas number and the specific results country by country are mindblogging from one market to the other, from small markets to big.
If The Hobbit1 could reach around and over $80M in both Germany and the UK, $40+M in 4 big markets like France, Australia, China and Russia...hell, $30M in Spain, 20M in Italy and Sweeden and go great in small countries like Belgium ($8+M)...imagine how lethal its successor could end up ?
It has the potential to replicate and rise a little bit everywhere while breaking through in China or Japan to reach the likes of $800+M. Those German and UK numbers are mindblogging. Everything released in those countries will be hit hard.
TH2 will crush everything on its way overseas and cruise into the hollydays as the absolute favourite.
