    Weekend Numbers (Jan 2-4)

    in Numbers and Data

    Posted

    Happy to see Mockingjay Part 1 potentially getting the #1 highest-grossing movie of 2014. Also interested to see how well-received American Sniper is. Who knows what'll happen on MLK weekend? And let me also say that I am very satisfied with Hobbit 3's #s. Regardless of your opinion, potentially earning $270M+ along with even more worldwide is a good number. What, it not being the biggest smash hit is suddenly wrong? Expecting it to be on the same level as Return of the King or even Fellowship set your hopes up way too high already. But that's just me. :)

    Y'know what I'm surprised by? Not the legs of Hobbit or Mockingjay, but how people are "surprised" at WiB2's performance being better than they thought. Hasn't horror movies in the first week always have a decent opening weekend for the past 4 or so years? While not fantastic, they do fine on the first weekend. Marked Ones, Texas Chainsaw 3D, Devil Inside. Course they all drop down hard, but still.

    Into the Woods

    December 30th, 7:10PM

     

    Crowd: Around 60%, lots of women, girls, and families.

     

    Trailers:

    Black or White- no reaction (Mom didn't say anything)

    Selma- no reaction (Mom's thoughts: "Eric, do you know the reviews for that? It looks interesting.")

    Pitch Perfect 2- some big laughs (Mom's thoughts: "Oh come on Eric, that was funny!")

    Paul Blart 2- big laughs (Mom's thoughts: "Y'know honey, the first was a really cute movie.")

    Tomorrowland- couple murmurs (Mom's thoughts: "Seems interesting.")

    Cinderella- no reaction (Mom's thoughts: "Eh, not a fan. But the effects look decent.")

     

    Movie had fantastic first two acts, but a decent, though not nearly as strong third. But it was easily the worst theater experience I had there. Three girls behind me laughed and talked with themselves through the entire movie, people in the audience moved everywhere, my seat felt kicked, some kid was bored so he/she had his/her Sketcher shoe light up throughout the movie, it was just obnoxious.

    Birdman

    December 6th, 3:45PM

    Crowd: 25%, mainly middle-aged couples.

     

    Trailers:

    Wild-no reaction (Mom's thoughts: "I think I want to read the book first.")

    The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel-some faint laughs (Mom's thoughts: "I thought this already came out.")

    Inherent Vice-little whispers and a couple chuckles (Mom's thoughts: "This seems like a must-see! It's kind of like that Bradley Cooper 70s movie.")

     

    I think Wild and Inherent Vice look entertaining, but I'm clearly not the target demographic for Marigold.

     

    The crowd seemed to really like it. There were huge laughs at appropriate times, as well as a gasp here and there from Mama.

     

    The movie was fantastic. The editing and direction are fantastic, and the acting is out of this world. Definitley a must-see.

    Does anyone rembwr Delgo? I had never heard of it, but apparently is had a budget of 40M, made 500K on OW at 200+ theatres, and only remained in theatres for a week...

    I've only seen two ads for it in my entire life. One time on TV, and the back ad for Nick Magazine. I believe the movie was in development hell for 10 or so years.

    I am looking forward to the box office for the rest of the year though. Apart from the weekend after Thankgiving it should be a fun end of the year

    Yeah, this fall easily makes up for one of the most boring summers in a long time. So many successes both critically and financially to count.

    Y'know, I'm mixed on the character designs, but I feel like the only one who enjoys the live-action sequences. I think they're just as funny as the animated segments. They both have the same wit and charm the series always had. Seems people only hate the live-action because "ZOMG CG DESTROY MOVIE!!!!1" Of course I'm the only person on the Internet who likes modern Spongebob (I know, I know), so probably take my words for a grain of salt.

    Wasn't WB planning on making a new Flintstones show with McFarlane? And he walked off the project when they asked him to make it more like his Fox comedies instead of like the original?

    I might have some facts crossed but I seem to recall that being the jist.

    Pretty much. Fox president at the time enjoyed the script, but didn't approve of it, but Seth didn't want to restart everything, so he abandoned the project. But I believe WAG is planning to make a Flintstones animated movie produced by Will Ferrel and Adam McKay. That sounds pretty cool. And I know WAG has other movies besides Lego, but I can't remember off the top of my head what they're called or what they're about.
