John Marston Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Wtf happend to hobbit franchise in japan compared to Lotr???Was'ent it a 80-100 mill grosser 10 years ago Japan rejects Hollywood movies now for the most part. The fact that even something like Gravity is doing mediocre numbers there shows that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peludo Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Wtf happend to hobbit franchise in japan compared to Lotr???Was'ent it a 80-100 mill grosser 10 years ago Japan is the main tragedy for Hobbit. It has dropped an 80% even with a 40% stronger currency than in 2001-2003 (there has been no inflation). The drop is even bigger than it seems . About 85%. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peludo Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Its absolutely insane LOTR movies were released in late February and AUJ was released at Christmas. This year, DOS is coming back to LOTR release date, but I do not think it is the reason of the drop. We will have to wait and see how it performs with the new date, but I will be fine if it is able to manage AUJ's numbers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leyla Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 (edited) well they like musicals strange AUJ didnt gross more Maybe there should have been more songs lol PJ should have hired Hathaway to play an elf along Lilly so she could burst into a song in the middle of a fight here & there Edited January 5, 2014 by Tauriel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
picores Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 700 million should be the target if there are not more surprises (China 50 million and Japan 20). Agreed. I'm still hoping for 30-35 in Japan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

htall90 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 If we just accept one simple fact it makes sense, the Japanese are a weird bunch.
