Lumos Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Looks like COS was the perfect comparison. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talkie Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 If Catching Fire plays like DH1 exactly it opens to 132m I'm gonna kill a bitch. I'm done with America. Again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewy Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Wait what did I miss? Why are people going sub 150? Rth said it was playing like DH1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noctis Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 I really don't care right now if this goes under the first. I got an excellent film. At the end of the day, lionsgate is still going to have a nice big payday coming to them. You are such a liar. You so care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockNrollaDIM Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 This is The Hobbit all over again. Just because Lord of the Rings grossed a lot, people expected The Hobbit to gross 500M DOM.Same goes for Hunger Games and Catching Fire...Don't you EVER compare Katniss to that trash. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dashrendar44 Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 But Star Wars Episode VII is going to be huge. Some part of me wants SW7 to act like AUJ domestically just to bask in SW fans epic meltdowns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Marston Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 do you think maybe they will convert the Mockingjay movies to 3D or move them to summer? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChD Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Don't you EVER compare Katniss to that trash. For me, it's exactly the other way around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dxmatrixdt Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Projections I have midnight 25M the rest of Friday 44.75 Saturday 46.84 Sunday 35.39 Total Opening Weekend = 151.98 it SHOULD have a legitimate shot at 400 million as HG will nicely counter / compete with The Hobbit.

ChD Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 do you think maybe they will convert the Mockingjay movies to 3D or move them to summer? Converting them. Maybe even moving them. They're gonna panic. They're gonna panic big time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichWS Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 do you think maybe they will convert the Mockingjay movies to 3D or move them to summer? What rash decision will be made before opening night's over? We'll find out soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same goes for Hunger Games and Catching Fire... That's maybe the weirdest comparison I've ever seen Direct sequel one year later = prequel with few of the characters a decade later The hell?

ainsleyb Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 (edited) IF it does open to less than THG then i don't think it will be a major surprise to anyone but the crazies on here who were thinking $200M+ was possible. The truth is the first film was lightning in a bottle type material, it had enormous amounts of hype and acted like a sequel in the fact that everyone rushed to see it on opening weekend, whether they had read the books or not. Whilst the first film was well received, it in all honesty just wasn't anything special. A lot of interested third parties who saw the first film probably won't be coming back for a second time. I'm in no way trying to bad mouth CF, i saw it last night and thought it was a much improved film but people are too quick on here to go into meltdown mode. Once the international numbers come in no one is going to care if it makes $50M less domestically. Edited November 22, 2013 by ainsleyb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won't get close to 400M. Weaker legs. Much much weaker legs. I'd say 350-370M maximum... If it gets to 150 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heretic Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Just saw it. Fucking brilliant. I liked THG, but this was a whole other level. By far the best blockbuster film of the year. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Converting them. Maybe even moving them. They're gonna panic. They're gonna panic big time. HUGE PANIC over at Lionsgate. "Goddamn it! This movie is only going to make an absurd amount of money and not a redonkulous amount of money. What the fuck were we thinking?" 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
