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

[bballman24]

The only difference here is that IM2 is the dullest, least memorable blockbuster in years.

I hate that turd.

In one hours time there will be confirmation or denial about CFs OW

[Heretic]

I won't see the film until tomorrow, so I can't comment on the quality comparison yet. But the box office situation is eerily similar between the two. Catching Fire's opening weekend was just a bigger version of IM2's, both in expectations and actual performance.

 

IM2 - Expected to make $150-160m, made $128m

THG2 - Expected to make $180-190m, made $155-160m

 

I am hoping that the holidays this week will help THG2 hold a lot better than IM2 did.

True, but THG was already a HUGE success with less room to grow, whereas IM2 had a lot of room to grow, but underwhelmed massively.

 

I'm sure the holidays will help though, coupled with excellent WOM, 375m could still happen.

When actuals come out, please let TDKR LOSE!

 

[luxneji]

I really liked CF I'm no a fan of the Hunger Games, but now I am, the movie was very eel directed, even though i prefer TDKR I would like this to really well so we may movies of this caliber more often, I think i will hold nicely just because its quality is pretty good. 380m

[iceroll]

.And now he's saying that CF did 32-33.

He made that indication a lot earlier in the evening though, most showings were done by the time he gave the Sunday estimate so unfortunately it's gonna be a lot closer. He just tells us the numbers, he has no spin and he's objective which is why he's so essential to the forums.

[The Stingray]

Am I the only one worried about Futurist's health? He ain't around here no more.

[The Stingray]

I believe Rth works for Nikki.

[Bob Violence]

Come onnnnnn, actuals! Supplies are running dangerously low here!
