The Hobbit: the Desolation of Smaug OS Thread

[Elessar]

Lets see what happens in Japan first.

It could surprise us

 

Eh, Frozen is probably gonna dominate...

[John Marston]

 

They absolutely gave Bilbo a samurai look LOL

 

EDIT: The Chinese poster is awesomeness, but this one's better than the US posters too.

are they showing off the dragon a lot?

[peludo]

Let's say that with Chinese performance, DOS will reach 700 OS, what seemed impossible before Chinese release. It could even outgross AUJ OS (714 million)

[Leyla]

I really dig that Japanese poster

 

btw the exchange rate seems to not be in our favour so I still predict 15-20 mil + frozenatics will eat our Smaugy on March 12

Box Office Mojo ‏@boxofficemojo  46s

'The Desolation of Smaug' opened to $32.7 million in China, which is up 74% from the first 'Hobbit'

[John Marston]

Domestic: $256,644,000 28.7%+ Foreign: $637,100,000 71.3%= Worldwide: $893,744,000

[Olive]

A big $32.7 million opening weekend in China boosted The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug to a $637.1 million overseas cume. The Hobbit took over the Chinese market by claiming first place from approximately 5,500 screens. It is the biggest 3-day opening for a Warner Brothers film in the market and is already outpacing the first Hobbit film by 74%. The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug has grossed $893.7 million worldwide and will open in Japan on February 28.

 

It broke a record.

Man, so 960-975 million perhaps ... I wasn't expecting that given the returns over the last month.

ugh, maybe WB should give it some kind of re release to get it over that billion. I mean as long as they admit that is what its for. Or maybe get Peter Jackson to put some extended scenes back in now and re release it

[Leyla]

wow I never thought Id see the words 'record' & DOS in the same sentence 

aw

They should push the crap out of it in Japan, maybe that would be enough to make it past $1b.

China is more interesting this year, 2014 should be a better year for US blockbusters, particularly with Transformers 4.

Good for DOS, and a good omen for Hobbit 3.

Amazing and surprising chinese opening! Awesome!!
