  1. Why the hell is this thread still at the 1st page??
  2. Tintin's popularity in Japan is pretty much the same as in China. I never read Tintin but I heard that it got some sort of "anti-Japan" stuff (sth about Japan's invasion in China last century)Given its poor performance in those markets where it's not well-known, 50m in Japan seems a bit high. Also Japanese are very picky on animation films. They may think it's a little bit too childish.
  3. You just over-predicted. The Smurfs was A LOT more popular than Tintin, and it did less than 40m. You can't expect Tintin to make as much, let alone $10m more.
  4. I wont say it underperformed. It's never going to have a big OW like The Smurfs did. It was never that popular in China.
  5. So Tintin opened $9.39m on a 6-day. For comparison, The Smurfs did $13.79m in 5 days.
  6. BD2 will be the last chapter of the series right? Wouldn't that be one major finale factor like the one on DH2?
  7. Oh yeah forgot abou this one.
  8. Haven't seen Eclipse.My vote goes to TF2. It's the only one out of these 300m+ grossers that had a razzie right? Somehow I think TF3 is at the same level tho.
  9. BD2 will be 3D right? How much will that make then?
  10. This could only happen if the sequel turns out like a piece of shit. Otherwise I failed to see how A2, despite being released in Dec which is a good timing for legs, could have a poor 2.5 mutiplier which is worse than summer anticipated sequels or threequels like TDK, DMC, Ironman2, Shrek3 or TS3. And to think about it, some of them were considered as major disappointments, and they had a better multiplier than Avatar 2?Also, 200m OW seems a bit off as well. As plenty have explained, even for very anticipated sequel like A2, it's hard to get an extremely high OW right before Christmas holidays.So GeekFreek, no offense but for me, your prediction just doesn't make sense.
  11. No. Actually far from it. The Smurfs was A LOT more popular than Tintin, and it opened less than 14m and earned a total of 40m. Tintin will do less.
  12. Best sci-fi of all time for me is either 2001: A Space Odyssey or Terminator 2 Can't really do a Top10 because it's hard to compare, but other all time greats for me are (in no paticular order) The Matrix Avatar The Terminator Gattaca Star Wars OT Alien & Aliens
  13. I always enjoy reading news about the box office of certain films (ususally my fav ones), but I started following it since TDK because at that time I read a lot of news about how it was destroying all kinds of records and things, and how it made 500m in just a few weeks, and then I thought it was going to beat Titanic for sure. It turned out that it didn't, and it got me very curious, so I tried to search websites about box office and found out why, which eventually had me following the box office insteading of just reading news about them. So I guess I'm still a rookie.
  14. T2 is definitely not a proper comparison, but I think the sequel really have to suck (to most people) to make less than 500M.
  15. You see multiquote works fine. But it seems we couldn't quote smiley yet, as it would turn into broken url like this "./../../public/style_emoticons/default/ohmy.png"But I wouldn't complain about it, given what we've all been through on the ancient BOM forums LOL
  16. @ how I wish I could spend the money as generously as you. Damn even it's one of my fav films in the decade, I can't afford watching it 10 times in the theater espeicially the 3D ticket was very expensive at that time.
  17. Cameron's last two movies together made over 1.36 billion. That's averaging 680m a film. Now, he's going to make a sequel to a 700m monster, with the help of 4 years inflation and so on, and this sequel will be lucky to make 500m? What kind of theory is this? Oh I get it. It means "I wish it struggles to make 500m".
  18. I don't know which is more unlikely, $100m second weekend, or one billion DOM total.
