John Marston Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Ender's Game number seems to optimistic. Hollywood Reporter says 9m Friday. To be fair though Hollywood Reporter article was published at 3:27 pm and I don't know when BO.com update was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJohn Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 If this does 35M, it will be insane. 100M DOM may happen. And a sequel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair though Hollywood Reporter article was published at 3:27 pm and I don't know when BO.com update was Their early numbers. Actual Friday numbers (which won't be published until tomorrow) tend to be higher or lower. Edited November 2, 2013 by Fancyarcher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plain Old Tele Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 If this does 35M, it will be insane. 100M DOM may happen. And a sequel. I doubt it -- it won't lend itself well to sequels. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichWS Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 As the update notes, anything over 30M is a big win for Lionsgate. It's gonna need a solid Saturday family boost to hit 35. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fancyarcher Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 (edited) yeah I know but I don't know if Hollywood Reporter tends to be accurate or not They usually seem to, but they have been wrong before.

baumer Posted November 2, 2013 Author Share Posted November 2, 2013 They usually seem to, but they have been wrong before. Dude, we know lol. Most of us have been following the box office for 5-10 yrs. By now, we're aware of how these are just estimates. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrPink Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 If this does 35M, it will be insane. 100M DOM may happen. And a sequel. I'm pretty sure Hunger Games is gonna say 'Nope' to 100m even with 35 million if Thor doesn't do the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goffe Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 For the sake of my games, I hope these numbers doesn't come true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babz06 Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 (edited) If numbers hold it seems we underestimated Ender's Game. I'm always happy for surprises at the box office. However, it's still going to struggle because of the competition in November. Lionsgate really made a mistake releasing it now. Should have tried March and pushed Divergent to summer 2014.
