The Stingray Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Can't it just mean that it isn't as frontloaded as, say, Twilight, and that it picks up during the rest of the weekend? Isn't that what IM3 did? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lab276 Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 It would need a really good Saturday hold to reach much more than 150m from a 73m Friday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessie Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Blinded by fandom? THG dropped quite steeply it its second weekend but from then on, it had great holds. Twilight movies tend to free-fall right after they opened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmnerdjamie Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Honestly my prediction was 155. So i still think thats on the table. I just dont want tge Katniss loonies jumping off any buildings. Absolutely nothing wrong with the grosses so far. But put it into perspective and yeah it should have done (a lot) higher. This could be Chamber of Secrets after The Sorcerer's Stone after all. Too early to know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fake Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 3D will really help MJ1/2 in oversea gross, maybe even leading big improvements in Asia markets. 3D will also give bigger OW DOM. I don't think addition of 3D is gonna help this franchise very much in Asia now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 52m rest of day55m Saturday 38m Sunday 170m beat case scenario. Don't see it dropping below 160m, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People don't seen to get that sequels are more frontloaded 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just dont want tge Katniss loonies jumping off any buildings.

redfirebird2008 Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Nikki is full of shit. Or rather, she's eating the shit some IMAX exec is feeding her. I tracked over 40 IMAX showtimes in LA. There was one IMAX sellout. ONE. Yeah, she's full of it. The new IMAX screen we have here didn't sell out either of its two showtimes last night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmandeep Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Lol I am going to sound like a THG lonnie but It will be backloaded Fri: 25.5 +52 = 77.5 Sat: 55 Sun: 38 Weekend: 170.5 Lol I thought I was low balling it but I have a sense it will be backloaded.

redfirebird2008 Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 I wish this film the best, but are 8pm Thursday showings counting towards the Friday? Because that's patently ridiculous.. Yes they are counting towards Friday and yes it is patently ridiculous. But there isn't a damn thing any of us can do about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Stingray Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 I'm no expert, but to me it seems anything under 160m would be very disappointing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
