Nov 22-24 #s CF: $158,074,286 actual | Dark Knight triumphant after all

[AdamKendall]

We live in a world where after the last couple hours, 153 now seems like an AWESOME achievement for this film.

[Lordmandeep]

If CF had 5 million more in previews and 2 million bigger only opening day it does not end up beating THG I think.

Nikki's decided t weigh in:

 

Nikki Finke ‏@NikkiFinke35s

My sources: 'Catching Fire' around $70M domestic for Friday (incl $25.25M previews) and $153M weekend. First 'Hunger Games' $152.5M.

 

Good to see that Nikki has impeccable math as always.

It is called Catching Fire for a reason. The OW is just the spark to the flame. Can't wait to watch this baby multiply like Jon and Kate.

I feel like I just caught a STD

Yeah but he only really stuck around for Superman. He'll be back for B/S and the Avatar sequels, I'm sure

 

Heh, figures.  The hell happened to Battle Angel?  He was going on about that for some time back in like 08.

 

It's funny, for the longest time, I had no idea he was referring to a Cameron movie with his Avatar talk, always thought he was talking about the movie on the Nickelodeon show.

Desperation.

Well we should still live in a world where that's an awesome achievement for any film. Excluding Avengers 2 anyways.

Hi everyone, I'm new here. Just stopped by to let you know how much I'm enjoying this thread, you guys are hilarious. I'm supposed to be studying for an exam I have tomorrow morning but for some reason I can't leave this thread lol I mean, I'm not exactly happy about the numbers for CF but everything else here is awesome. Well, back to lurking...

He just posted about an hour ago and said Gitesh's numbers looked "about right".

Based on numbers uptil evening. Should go up with his next revision.I may be wrong though.

64M OD 130M OW 310M DOM. Yikes............

[Lordmandeep]

Yes. His post indicates that afternoon shows were weak. But that also means night shows will show a bigger jump, and hence the final number should be higher than his current projection.

 

When did THG become a superhero movie?

Made some decent internet money on HSX by shorting HGAM2 today. It is already down 6$ today and will probably end maybe 15-20$ down by the end of the day.

That's what I expect as well.  Every update has come before reporters would have access to the even the earliest East Coast evening figures.  Hardly indicative at all.  I'm not taking anything seriously till we have a concrete figure tomorrow morning, be it 50M or 90M.

[rockNrollaDIM]

Might as well just cancel Thanksgiving...

How were you and Tele able to do this?  I haven't been able to do anything with CF stocks at all today.

[kayumanggi]

Lol. Catching fire could end up making only 50m more than gravity. Who would have predicted that 2 months ago?

 

Eh? No one thought GRAVITY would be 250 M huge.

I feel like this whole thread caught a StressTD. Y'all are melting down way too soon. Save it for 47 Ronin people.
