Friday numbers (page 12) THG 12.7-12.9, AR 9.3, Titanic 7.1
Hatebox replied to Ezen Baklattan's topic in Numbers and Data
Titanic and Star Wars underperforming would definitely make other studios think twice about this 3D re-release ploy (wonder how Universal now feel about Jurassic Park) but it's hard to imagine LOTR not giving it a try, particularly with The Hobbit set to remind people of the franchise. -

200 domestic was always crazy talk. -

No one should shed any tears for AR's performance. It was the sequel nobody asked for. -
It's a decent enough opening day. I always found the 150m DOM predictions ridiculous.(Although it's still a Cameron film so even now I have a slight hesitation in completely writing that figure off.)
-
Avengers would surely beat that figure, unless it's a really bad film.
-
Man, just read this entire thread in one go.Regarding what makes an 'impressive' performance, it's true that front-loading is now the norm. But to me, that actually makes a film with good legs more impressive than a massive opening weekend, because it's so damn rare in this environment.Still, when the OW is 150m for a film that was totally unexpected to get it then that's something in itself.
-
It was always going to be frontloaded. As mediocre as the other two openings were, they still combined to make 50m worth of competition for the young males and family demos.
-
That 55m doesn't make sense given the supposed Friday number, but I'd say it's safe to rule out 70m + for the weekend.
-
Well, the second weekend record is out the window.
-
Wrath went up.
-
lol, now it's 55m?!
-
Gitesh Panda has THG at high 60s, but that was 6 hours ago.
-
Anything over 70m will be great for THG.Expected to poor numbers for the other two big openers.
-
I'd be surprised if it's that high.
-
I guess this proves that even with gigantic openings, 400m is still a tough milestone.
-
I dunno, in this day and age great legs are more interesting to me. Not that anyone can take away from THG remarkable opening.
-
I fully appreciate it's good for March. But the 2nd weekend will be more interesting.
-
Decent number, but the phenomenal weekend didn't quite spill over into the week as much as some may have hoped.
-
*resists making a 'captain obvious' joke*
-
So a million less than its estimate. Catastrophic.
-
Interestingly (or not) this hasn't opened especially big internationally. Be interested to see how big the inevitable WOM makes it, though.
-
Have to admit I hope it doesn't beat TDK in the actuals, but great number. If you'd predicted that a month ago you'd have been laughed off the forum.
-
I agree with the thrust of Shawn's point. Another example woulf be Inception's OS take.
-
If it makes studios think twice about insane budgets then I'm glad JC failed. That might be optimistic, though.
