The Hobbit: the Desolation of Smaug OS Thread

[htall90]

For reference:

So will DOS make $110 mil OS this weekend then?

[Elessar]

Wait, let me get my crystal ball...

[peludo]

BOM says 423.8 million OS

[Elessar]

What the... By thursday it was neck and neck and after sunday it's supposed to be $40m behind? How's that possible? 

 

EDIT:

I guess AUJ's numbers were as of Wednesday, not Thursday. Well, so long, billion...

Huge $98M intl wknd for #Hobbit, new totals at $423.8M intl & $614.1M global. 9th best ww hit of 2013, China opens FEB21.

WW is 70M behind TH1.

Third weekend for AUJ. "It remained in first place in Germany (up 16 percent to $16.7 million), the U.K. (up 12 percent to $10.9 million) and France (up 23 percent to $8.6 million)." 

Apparently DOS dropped in all three markets.

HOBBIT 2 highlights: Down Under debuted w/ $12.8M. GER ($61M) UK ($48M) FRA ($38M) RUS ($29M) ESP ($18M) KOR ($15M) ITA ($15M)

[Gazz]

Is DOS open in all the same markets AUJ was at this point in the release schedule? 

[Elessar]

All except Japan.

[peludo]

According what Elessar and juni78ukr have posted we have this:

 

Germany (3rd): AUJ $60m vs DOS $61m

UK (3rd): AUJ $57.7m vs DOS $48m

France (3rd): AUJ $31.2m vs DOS $38m

Russia (2nd): AUJ $27m vs DOS $29m

Spain (3rd): AUJ $22.4m vs DOS $18m

Korea (3rd): AUJ $19.5m vs DOS $15m

Italy (3rd): AUJ $17.9m vs DOS $15m

 

Total (7 markets): AUJ $235.7m vs DOS $224m

 

Japan was at 11.3 million by 3rd weekend, so that would already 23 million gap. Sadly, extrapolating I find logical the 40 million difference.

[Gazz]

Rightio! Cheers for the breakdown!

 

Looks like DOS probably going to make less than AUJ in the international market save for it doing some incredibly surprising business in Japan.

Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug is keeping pace with An Unexpected Journey. The second entry in The Hobbit trilogy collected $98.3 million from 15,800 screens in 62 overseas markets this weekend, an 18% drop from the previous weekend. Smaug has now grossed $423.8 million overseas and $614.1 million worldwide.

 

The Desolation of Smaug earned $12.8 million in Australia after a strong Boxing Day premiere. The film finished the weekend in first place with a 51% marketshare among the top 5 releases in Australia. Smaug jumped 8% in Germany to take $15.8 million from 1,460 screens. The strong showing in Germany boosted the film's market total up to $61.3 million, making it the biggest release of 2013 in Germany. The film is also the top grosser of 2013 in Sweden with $14.3 million.

 

Other top performers for The Desolation of Smaug include the United Kingdom ($9M Weekend, $48M Cume), France ($8.8M Weekend, $38.4M Cume), and Russia ($6.1M Weekend, $28.9M Cume). The film will be released in China on February 21, 2014 and Japan on Febraury 28, 2014.

I do not count with it. I will be fine if it is able to make another 18-20 million. And I am even pessimistic with that range.

Who wrote that? That's just not true. And a weekend drop? As far as i know, it increased very slightly compared to last weekend.

I'm surprised how much it lost ground in the last 7 days, especially during the midweek (from -$10m i think it was by last sunday to -$40m this sunday). The weekend itself is only $8m behind. I don't get it.

Doesn't look that bad when you break it down like that. UK is clearly the biggest disappointment

60m from China would not happen if the date is 2.21. (maybe 50m)

 

Underwhelming English speaking territories and .... South Europe... always dragging back sequels.

Variety..

[sensui]

Maybe it's having weaker weekday numbers than weekend numbers?

 

Opened 135.4

next week 278.4

this week 423.8 (estimated)

 

seemed to stay flat this pass week (145 million, only a 2 million increase from past week to week of 143 million).
