narniadis Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Rather bland weekend in retrospect we got spoiled by the last couple of years (NM/Blind Side then HP7/Tangled) being massive with a runaway hit...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travod Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Ah, just got back from The Artist. Sold out. It should do well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Bacon Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Breaking Dawn is oscar material in comparison to some of the other "blockbusters" that have come out this year.I honestly can't think of what other blockbuster you're talking about, except MAYBE Transformers.

MrWhoopee Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 If I'm not mistaken didn't transformers get better reviews than Breaking Dawn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ithil Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Why is there an obsession with it making 300? Fourth movies usually lose business and they certianly don't increase from the last one. A 8% drop is likely and if it makes more than 280, that would be quite good.I don't know why there is. People like magic rounded numbers or something.

saywhatcuz Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Kinda disappointed with this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWhoopee Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 4th movies usually lose business correct but Goblet increases over azkaban making that for certain become a usually as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Marston Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 I think Goblet of Fire increased because it released in the same year as the sixth book, resulting in HP mania Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayumanggi Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Or maybe the audience just really enjoyed the 4th movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4815162342 Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Because Chamber of Secrets and Azkaban had progressively decreased, it isn't surprising that Goblet of Fire would then have spiked back upwards significantly in the direction of Sorcerer Stone numbers in the wake of continuing good WOM from Azkaban's DVD release and Goblet looking very promising in its marketing.

kayumanggi Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 I think the audience also enjoyed the idea of the Tri-Wizard cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ariadne Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Great bump for BD1, hopefully it continues to compare favourably to NM over the weekend to make up a bit for a disappointing Wed/Thu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jawa Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 I think Goblet of Fire increased because it released in the same year as the sixth book, resulting in HP maniaI always thought the draw for Goblet of Fire was that the "kids" were all starting to grow up. That's how it seemed at the time, anyway. It helps that the book was probably the most popular in the series before Deathly Hallows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
druv10 Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 (edited) No doubt about Tri wizard cup. It brought in casual fans. Edited November 27, 2011 by druv10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayumanggi Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Yeah, even the overseas grosses rebounded from POA's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishstick Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Great bump for BD1, hopefully it continues to compare favourably to NM over the weekend to make up a bit for a disappointing Wed/Thu.I think $300 mio is still in the cards. Holiday season will continue in December and it`s lucrative for everyone, new stuff and holdovers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ball Lightning Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Yes it's holidays, but why does that mean it'll have better legs than NM which was at the same time period.. Especially after it had worse legs on wednesday and thursday.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishstick Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Because NM wasn`t as loved as this? See I`m using my head. It recovered great yesterday so obviously a weekend movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
