Dementeleus Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Help! Could anyone tell me if the imax version of Smaug is in 2.35:1 or 16:9(full screen) ratio? IMAX versions should be either 16:9 or squarer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmonaut Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Help! Could anyone tell me if the imax version of Smaug is in 2.35:1 or 16:9(full screen) ratio? It's Scope, 2.39:1(2.35:1 ratio long gone) There are only 1.89:1(few, some OM) and 2.39:1(most, Hobbit incl.) in Digital "IMAX", same for 15/70mm, except it can be up to 1.43:1(CF), most movies are still in Scope. More than that, there are plenty of digital "IMAX" theaters with 2,39:1 AR screens. IMAX today is 99% fake. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peludo Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 And apparently we could have a nice surprise from China. Olive has posted this in Chinese forum: DOS midnights 2.1M yuan vs AUJ 1.14M. Good increase. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leyla Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 with all the stuff we got (decreases & all) lets see how it holds up cautiosly optimistic for now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peludo Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Chinese thread: The Hobbit is heading to $8-9M OD... If it follows the same run than AUJ, it would finish with about 70-80 million $. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peludo Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Could it be? Could it? I wish you are right, but I think it is nearly impossible to reach that amount. It needs 140 million. Excepting China and Japan, every market is nearly already done. China could take 80 million, but remember that AUJ did not even reach 20 million in Japan. Let's say it will finish with 965-975. Anyway, never say never Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
picores Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 1B is out of reach imo, lets wait to There and Back Again which should do it easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leyla Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 well considering I thought it wont get even to 920 even 950 will be a great result hmm what about Japan btw guys Is it possible to outgross AUJ? the release date ppl said is LOTRish but ugh Frozen opens in March & i see it doing 150 mil (sadly for me ) hopefully diff demos play a role & DoS can at least gross more than AUJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Marston Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 how is it being promoted in Japan? Are they focusing on the dragon like what it looks like they are doing in China? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fmpro Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 If it breaks out in Japan also like in China and reaches 40-50 mill 1B will happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elessar Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 I kinda don't like it breaking out in China. Now it's gonna miss $1b only by a hair, which makes it suck that much more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They absolutely gave Bilbo a samurai look LOL EDIT: The Chinese poster is awesomeness, but this one's better than the US posters too.
