The Lion King is still #1 in The Netherlands on its 7th weekend after a 16.3% drop. Its total is now a stunning €27,165,374. Titanic is all-time #2 with €23,572,868. Can it reach €30M?

A small update from The Netherlands: The Lion King dropped a mere 3.3% this week (Thu-Wed): €4.2M from €4.3M last week. Its total is now €21.7M, which is 3rd all-time behind Bohemian Rhapsody (€21.9M) and Titanic (€23.6M). Summer vacation in The Netherlands will only gradually end in the next 3 weeks, so it should not have any problem becoming #1 by a significant margin.

To reach $1B domestically TFA needs another $456M. The past week (Mon-Sun) it made $296M. Therefore it needs 100 / (1 + 456/296) = 39% or better weekly drops, starting next Monday. If it holds well this week (say 20% - 30% drops) then by the end of the week the required weekly holds for $1B do not seem completely unrealistic.

It made $38.6M this week, still needs $25.2M for $800M, so even if it drops 60% now it will still reach $800M.

IM3 is currently €0.4M behind TA after 3 weekends, but IM3's 3rd weekend was higher. If it has a few good weeks it can surpass TA.

IM3 weekends in The Netherlands: Weekend 1: €1,094,611 Weekend 2: €746,665 (-31.8%) Weekend 3: €600,843 (-19.5%) Total: €3,414,211 Other totals for comparison: IM1: €1.8M IM2: €3.4M TA: €5.2M

BOM has IM3 at $525,800,000 now, $21M more than Sunday.

IM3 made €2.5M after 2 weekends in The Netherlands. For reference: IM1 made €1.3M and IM2 made €1.8M in total.

In The Netherlands The Hobbit is still #1 in its 5th weekend (€624,712). It is now the 2nd best movie of 2012 here with €10.5M, behind the amazingly amazing Skyfall (€18.2M).

I don't think it can beat Avatar. It can increase a bit in the next 2 weeks and it may have great holds early next year, but that still would not bring it close enough to Avatar to have a real chance. I'd love to be wrong though, and Skyfall has already surprised here beyond imagination.CR did not have anything like The Hobbit to contend with, so it's difficult to compare them.

To make $1B as the 24th movie in a franchise, when previous movies never made more than $600M (unadjusted) would indeed be amazing.

Indeed. It will need to be 10 x as successful as Taken 1 to make a dent though. I see it gets just 69 screens (compared to Skyfall's current 209 screens), so I guess they are not expecting much.
