The Hobbit: the Desolation of Smaug OS Thread

[IndustriousAngel]

PTA in Germany and Austria seems to be higher than part 1, so the missing Wednesday might be countered by higher daily grosses until Sunday; the total on Monday should be about the same as AUJ (+/- 5% I'd guess)

Im expecting better legs so an equal opening to TH1 would be fantastic

[John Marston]

anyone have any idea how this is looking to do in the UK?

[Olive]

It's like 4-5am in UK, shows haven't started yet.

[Ball Lightning]

Watch my new music video "A Hobbits Tale", an adaptation of Jason Mraz's "I Won't Give Up"!

 

I hope you enjoy it and feel it is worthy of a share. Now to wait 2 weeks to see the movie

How's the exchange rate compared to last year?

How's the exchange rate compared to last year?

In Eurozone is a bit higher. About 1.31 $/€ last year and 1.37 today.

Germany + Austria will hit $100M

[IndustriousAngel]

AUJ did hit 100Mil US$; it's just that some weeks later the Euro dropped a bit, so now the sum is 97.4mil at BOMojo. So, yes, I suppose DOS will hit it too or get very close, depending on legs of course.

I am conscious it is difficult to know, but we should know if it is comparing the same markets? I say it because if I am not wrong DOS is being released in less markets than AUJ OW, so data would be better than it seems.

I know it's not opening in Japan but I don't know the rest

[Elessar]

Still such small numbers for a franchise that used to be huge OS. While AUJ was still rather big in the end, it's surprising how subdued the early rush to see it is...

 

I take it they mean 11% bigger in the same markets.

I had read somewhere that in some Latin America countries is not opening this weekend.

Well, it is a Wed+Thu number. Many countries like UK, Germany or Spain have still not contributed.
