Heretic Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 So bad for The Muppets. Looks like it won't even hit 100m? What's going on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fmpro Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 So bad for The Muppets. Looks like it won't even hit 100m? What's going on? If it drops 20-25% next weekend it still has a chance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stripe Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 why should drop in the 25% range? INMHO families will continue to support Hugo and AC. The hard competition really killed Muppets chance to 100m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Marvel Fanboy Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Well, should we add The Muppets to the official what went wrong thread... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TLK Posted December 4, 2011 Author Share Posted December 4, 2011 I think scheduling has been awful and that is the reason for subpar showing of family movies. All of them opened at the same time s much so that Hugo had to reduce its screen counts and stagger its opening. Five movies are to open on 21st and a couple of them will definitely get lost considering Alvin and SH2 will open 5 days earlier. Movies like The Darkest Hour and Dragon Tattoo should've opened either this weekend or the next one not on the 21st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baumer Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Maybe the Muppets is doing exactly what history indicates it should. The Muppets hasn't been popular for decades. So now this looks like there is a renewed interest but a reserved one. If this is as good as were being told it is then the sequel will be huge. I don't think competition is really hurting it. Hugo is not a kids movie an AC isn't doing well either. As for BD1funny enuf it opened to around 8%less than NM and its making about 8% more. 300 is not dead at all.

wildphantom Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Too many family movies to choose from for Muppets to have held better. The marketing campaign might well have made it first choice for most families last weekend, but whilst WOM is apparently excellent, so it also is for both Hugo and Arthur Christmas. Happy Feet is in there as well. If anything, this is our biggest indicator yet of the impending Misson Impossible, Tintin, Dragon Tattoo disaster. TOO MANY RELEASES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJ-8 Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 wow... the muppets have fallen a bit.. thats a pretty big collapse compared to other thanksgiving family openers (such as enchanted or even tangled which opened a lot bigger)Looking at some comparisons on where this might be heading...Enchanted (well obvious) got to 127m but made a 16m at the same point and was at 70m.Four Christmases got to 120m but made 16.7m and 69m at the same point.Unbreakable (yeah ok not same genre) got to 95m but made 14m (66m running total)correct me if i'm wrong but by sunday the muppets will make about 11m ? and a runnign total of 56m. Unbreakable had a very non family type run from this point on, but the muppets seems to be collapsing here... 100m does appear gone, but it's 100% sure yet.. next weekends hold will tell us for sure. - 20% it's back in a chance, and 40% or more and it's gone.I'm thinking around 80m maybe 90m finish for muppets at this stage.surprisingly better for BD1. i expected a heavier drop this weekend. 300m is totally gone but i think 290m appears where it's heading still.

BD1 will still need to make a further 8m back up after this weekend is gone. before it thinks about 300m. (it still trails new moon remember, so this is a start but it's got some way to go before 300m becomes a better chance again).- jajang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

druv10 Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Another great hold for BD1 while Muppets Saturday increase was fine. Its the Friday increase that killed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
