John Marston Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 (edited) like I said it seems sequels with bad critical reception outgross the first. Transformer 2, Pirates 2, Matrix Reloaded, Rush Hour 2, The Mummy Returns, Hangover 2, American Pie 2, etc. Edited November 22, 2013 by John Marston Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmnerdjamie Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 So, Frozen on top next weekend? Nah. Catching Fire still wins next weekend. Following one, maybe not based on Frozen's WOM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichWS Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 It's funny how people always forget Iron Man 2. I constantly forget about that movie. So has the rest of humanity. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Transformer 2, Pirates 2, Matrix Reloaded, Rush Hour 2, The Mummy Returns, Hangover 2, etc. That's because critics have zero effect on how a sequel performs. A sequel performs based on how well the first film was received by an audience. But in CF's case, like Potter and Spiderman and Empire Strikes Back, just to name a few, when the first films blows up, the second has nowhere to go but down. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redfirebird2008 Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Actually Hangover 2 made less in the domestic market than Hangover 1 despite opening around $100m bigger. Hilarious turnaround when you look at their openings and totals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4815162342 Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 So, this is what I have sensed about the progression of the second half of this thread http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LweHiZLH9s The slow path to total self-annihilation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Marston Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 what I mean is that it is weird that the sequels with positive critical reception should have an advantage, yet they don't Iron Man and Transformers made the same amount of money pretty much. Iron Man 2 had better critical reception than TF2. Yet TF2 increased while Iron Man 2 decreased Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChD Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 I'm not going to lie. If this ends up below 135M OW, I'll be the happiest person on earth, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mango Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 The way I see it as long as this does $300- 350 million here, overseas will take care of another $400 million and it will actually top THG's worldwide gross. No loss plus it didn't hold bad for the sequel to a film that has most of it's success to thank from ungodly uncommon hype. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
