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

[narniadis]

Nope everything I said is accurate. You just don't want to listen. The first one dropped 61%. This will likely drop a bit harder since it is a sequel

Actually I was showing how your use of the calendar wa wrong but obviously you cannot read on top of being a negative bore. Catching fire will drop around 65% next weekend before having another dive during the post thanksgiving frame. It's know-it-all young pups like yourself that take the enjoyment out of following box office.

'Catching Fire's international total reached $64M on Friday. It will be over $100M by the end of the weekend:

Yes. I agree. And this may be a controversial question but it makes me ponder if the Avengers would have been as successful without RDJ as Iron Man? Hmmm.

So maybe it was Iron Man and best friends. I add best friends since people want to see them but they might not want to pay to see a movie when they are just solo. 

[The Stingray]

That was always completely expected, IMO. Downey, Jr. is the star of Marvel right now.

Thank you!

 

When I said that I was pissed on, ridiculed and laughed at.

[kayumanggi]

So around 280 M worldwide opening?

[ecstasy]

I agree. He should've been fighting in Bolton or Swindon. Would've been substantially more epic.

 

[ecstasy]

Thank you!

apologies.

[CloneWars]

Sucks, as Gravatar/Gravatanic is a bloody awesome movie yo.

I think it will get a nice boost come Oscar time if WB is smart. I can see them getting it back on IMAX and 3D and make a point of that it needs to be experienced on the big screen.

[narniadis]

And if anyone really thinks that Catching Fire will have a great hold next weekend you might as well sign your looney cards now if you haven't already. Minimum 60%.

Everyone cool with this number

[Ruthie]

Worst.

Death.

Ever.

Well I wasn't talking about Iron Man. I was speaking specifically about Robert Downey Jr.

 

Say if he couldn't do Avengers and they had to replace him with another actor, would it have been as successful with another actor as Iron Man?

[John Marston]

It won't drop as hard in the second weekend because of Thanksgiving, though. It isn't Twilight. Plus, it has great WOM no matter how many times you try to shout and deny it, EVEN AMONG NON BOOK fans. It'll drop massive on December 7th but it'll do well for itself over the five day

 

 

so did Harry Potter and the DEathly Hallows or Prisoner of Azkaban. Yet they still dropped hard, because they had their set fanbase

[Kvikk Lunsj]

Everyone cool with this number

It was blood bath last night. A lot of members are gone. Capitol was playing dirty tricks on the forum members. 

[ecstasy]

Everyone cool with this number

 

Definitely. And it will pass the first movie's OW. And everyone should be cool with that too. People just had to come to terms with it not breaking any records.

[The Stingray]

apologies.

lol. No worries. Don't even remember who said it.

[Jack Nevada]

Jesus Last Vegas was bad. I could've spent those two hours laughing at the meltdowns here.

[CoolioD1]

Everyone cool with this number

Cool. Cool cool cool.

[ecstasy]

lol. No worries. Don't even remember who said it.

 

I'm sure it wasn't me but I do want to apologize on behalf of my fellow Marvel fans.

[DAR]

We know you're cool Coolio
