Except for IS and MJ1 pretty meh numbers. Wake me up when The Hobbit opens.
Happy Thanksgiving to all you Americans btw.
-
BH6 = 220M??
Sounds reasonable IMO.

Nice increases. IMO it's still too soon to make a precise prediction for MJ1's total though. We'll know more after this weekend.
-
Solid number for MJ1. Nothing remarkable in either way.
Nice job at the forum translation btw, folks.
-
As long as MJ1 stays over 9m, it's a solid number.
-
I think 500m should be the goal.
-
The only movies that over perform are Marvel movies.
LEGO is not Marvel.
-
I'd like think the Hobbit could pull it off but I see it tanking out around 305M
I would love for The Hobbit to do it, but it's highly unlikely. 300m should be the goal for The Hobbit.

So, I take it it's pretty much time to go into a box office coma until Avengers 2 comes out?
Don't forget about The Hobbit.

That # for MJ1 pretty much guarantees GOTG to win the year.

Wonder if it's too late for an "Interstellar OS > TDKR OS" club.
Do you mean TDK OS, because even with those great holds there is no way this is going to make over 600m overseas.

Did anyone notice that this is the last weekend thread on this forum and it's also one of the craziest (at least earlier on) and one of the biggest? It's not really important or anything, I just noticed it.

I think I just heard Saruman say Leave Floppingjay to me!
That may sound mean, but now I want The Hobbit to beat MJ1 domestically. Would be so LOL to see the meltdowns.

no, if it performs like DH1 it will make less than 290m.
Which means that GOTG wins the year.

This year we have had
3 R movies over 150m
22 Jump Street
Gone Girl
Neighbors
And 2/3 of them were comedies, which shows that the R-rated-comedy genre is in pretty good shape at the moment (last year also had We're The Millers and The Heat for example).
-
Ouch at that D&DT drop. I guess that mediocre WOM set in. Obviously disappointing opening for MJ1, still a huge number. Also overseas looks to make up for the domestic drop. BH6 once again with a pretty good hold and IS falling less than 50 percent should also be considered a win.
-
IMO Mockingjay's numbers are certainly disappointing compared to its predecessors, but it'll still make quite a bit of profit for Lionsgate. That means it's not a flop. There's a difference between "disappointing" and "flopping".

MJ1 continues to underperform. IMO it's quite likely now that GOTG will win the year, which would be one of the biggest upsets of this decade. Pretty good for IS as well. Another sub-50% drop gives it a real chance at $175m.

Sorry but young adult fiction remains a great kind of fiction: Harry Potter, Hunger Games, Marvel, Star Wars...
Those franchises may have been created as young adult fiction, but they attracted more than just young adults.

honestly i think mj1 was kind of a weird movie, but there was a huge action sequence before the halfway point, then three or four more large action sequences
- district 8 bombing
- attack on district 5 dam
- district 13 bombing
- capitol infiltration
- peeta attacking katniss
that's as much action as the first two movies, with the larger ones being of larger scale and the smaller ones having just as much emotional punch. this is why i don't really understand why suddenly people are saying it was BORING of all things, like thin plot.. ok you can get away with that. criticizing the split, fine. it certainly wasn't as glamorous as the first two. but it was definitely not boring or lacking in action.. which is where my main "critics aren't being truthful" thing comes from (and people on this site too), since they're not criticizing any actual shortcomings and instead making things up. and even the infamous the first half had lots of humorous, emotional, and/or interesting scenes, it was definitely not boring enough to *cough* feel the need to go on your phone during it. i mean interstellar's equally "boring" first half is like as long as the entire runtime of mj1, but people respected that. hence the bias i'm talking about.
That's not quite true. Many people didn't love IS and/or its first half.

Speaking of unobtainium I googled it and someone wrote this up. lmao
At first I thought that Kal might have written that, but it doesn't have enough spelling mistakes to be his work.

55M for MJ1 is not that great, but it's at least better than Variety's 51M estimate earlier.
-
After reading through the ENTIRE FUCKING THREAD I have to say that I'm traumatized.
About the numbers, looks like around $130m weekend for MJ1, which is better than it could have been after the preview number. I'm also happy for BH6 and especially for IS Managing a sub-50% drop again.

Kelli was right. This is turning into the sex thread. I'm off to sleep.

Terrible for HB2, not much better for Penguins, decent for MJ1.
