The Hobbit: the Desolation of Smaug OS Thread

[CJohn]

I would say it is slightly over in the places where they are offering 3D and 2D. Even if people don't get 2D tickets because it is sold out, since they are already in the theater, they will see it in 3D. HFR 3D and IMAX HFR 3D are amazingly well. Problem is in the smaller theaters, and there are many, they are not offering 2D at night. Last year they did that at every theater. I remember my local theater had the 2 360 screens sold out at Saturday and Friday night. This year they didn't sold out there only 3D show at Friday night. Those theaters are way down from last year.

Friday OS number about the same as TH1, So 135-140M OS opening week.

Leyla is crying

why should i    I recieve no money from the film

sadly

 

 

leyla...(Smooches)Amen.. This one is far beyond the first...I think the battle for the crown of the year is very much alive..

 

Watch out IM3 ....Its fantastic. .Be sure everyone to see the digital 4k 48 frames a sec virgins. OMG... So bright and vibrant 3D and imagery sharpness is out of this world. bees flying by my head, Signs seeming to swing in the audience... Landscapes coming alive and having so much dept..It reminded you of how grand Avatar I was..

 

 

This is the best movie experience I've had all year long.. A++ .. The lord of the rings feeling has returned to Hobbit!!! Wooohoooo

1bil is still possible with the chance that DoS follows Hobbit 3.6x multiplier for DOM and a slight 5% increase for OS total.

 

I like the film too, just that it is so awful for the song attached immediately after the final scene.

[Leyla]

yeah nothing is locked for now

Im just getting my expectatuions lower for  now b/c of decreases in some markets

 we have to wait for the bigger picture & wait for the holidays (same for DOM market too imo)

it may give significant boost 

 

I wonder how Japan will do. They moved it into the holiday timeframe so who knows it may help

 

Asia -

decent - Philippines

not good - SK, HK

waiting for other #

 

Decreases - english speaking territories - probs UK, NZ

My country should increase, as I can see the sold out is at a faster pace than AUJ. Frozen is still doing strong business, but impossible to be #1 this week. Captain Philips is doing well too.

 

But I do not think this will do below 950mil. 

 

If OS markets do 720mil before Japan, WB will do all their best to..... make it over 1 bil.

 

Target for TABA: 1.05bil.

[podo]

South Korea

 

$7.2M OW(4-day)

(AUJ - $8.4M)

So no increase. Some markets increased slightly, others decreased slightly.

 

A billion will be difficult to reach.

wow Spain's 3d share is big!

 

 

 

still hope for 1 B

We can give more money, same with China probably

& who knows about Japan

it may do better with the current slot

[Goffe]

I think Hobbit only increased here because the lack of big releases, one fucking month without any major release
