Yh although i thought the 1st was overrated it was way better then twilight the last few twilights have made over $50 mil each so $60 mil is possible for CF.
Catching fire will do twilight numbers maybe bigger thats why I predicted $60 mil it's popularity has shot up since the 1st the 1st was not popular relatively it benefit from a lack of other big movies during march last year. It is now the big movie for young women it is also more popular among men then twilight due to there being more action then twilight and being less soppy lol! So i think it will be top 5 of the year here.
I think it can slightly iwas well received in the Uk compare to the US from what i heard i personally enjoyed. What kept people away from the 1st was lack of much going on which will be much different with the 2nd so i predicting a small increase based on more happening and smaug.
I was expecting it to be huge because i could not escape people talking about it during january maybe it's just people i know but £40 mil is huge still should be top 5 for the year unless a load of movies over perform.
I honestly thought Les mis would be bigger but still $47 mil and counting is impressive. Iron man 3 should scrap in will be like a diet version of The Avengers Hobbit 2 will increase slightly i think. Catching fire to do $60 mil here books have exploded in popularity.
1 TH 2 - $90 mil
2 MU- $ 80 mil
3 iron man 3- $65 mil
4 CF- $ 60 mil
5 Les mis- $60 mil
Very true i remember Toy story 3 was released a month or so later in the Uk then it's US release but i suppose this was to take advantage of children's holidays in the summer.
Cannot understand the huge wait for disney animation when it is a huge market for disney particularly for it's animated films look at toy story 3 one of the biggest movies in Uk history for example!
Good trailer but look's like it show all the best bits! Anyway i'm going for $525 mil OS for it incredible total for a 2d film film $600 mil is a bit much for it fan base is not that big surely and there is plenty of other films OS during that time.
Bond always been huge in Britain so was always one of most likely candidates to pass Avatar eventually i think the Olympic opening ceremony stunt which was watched by everyone in Britain propel it over Avatar IMO. Even without that i think due to the quality of the film it would of flow passed $100 mil in the Uk.
Surely Return of the king did more as some markets such as russia and China where virtually non existent compared to today. Still even if favourable exchange helped in 2003 do they explain the big increase between the two towers and the return of king?Anyway were comparing ROTK to Skyfall and Skyfall has benefit from increase in tickets by large amount in major markets such as the UK and much of europe.
What went right with this movie? Why did it do gangbusters compared to the other 2 movies DC did? CR and QoS were both hits, but nothing on this level!
So many factors good movie, 4 year wait built up anticipation, 50 th anniversary of bond films in 2012, the stunt in the olympic ceremony extc.
