[CoolioD1]

I'm socializing ATM. Tell me there's good news.

Good news! The movie failed so now Jlaw won't be doing mockingjay and gets to free up her schedule for more interesting projects. Yaaaay. Edited November 23, 2013 by CoolioD1

Yeah IMAX is a rip off. Just walked in the theater and the normal screen is huge, probably 2 feet lower than the IMAX screen here. Theaters be st8 huslin', ya meen?

 

We need to get you in a real IMAX...

[alisson23]

Impossible.

 

impossível

Nothing is impossible. Twilight was successful then every is possible.

Well, I'm bailing for a while.  I expect this thread to be at 100 pages when RTH comes in and says:

 

Fri looking loke:  CF:  59-62  DM:  2.9-3.1 TTDW: 4-4.2 TBMH: 4-4.1

Does CF's OW remind us that we should maybe cool our heads a little bit when comes to TA2's OW? 

[Poseidon]

So just one thought:Are schools and colleges already on holiday or do they start on monday?

If they do, and HG1 opened over springbreak, maybe early numbers are not that compareable.

 

Remember Nikkis "Not a record" when "The Avengers" opened...

 

And as the Hunger Games Series has a broader appeal than "Twilight", maybe many families will come to cinemas over the holidays.

Nope.

It certainly does.

Sellouts continue to look very strong in the DC Metropolitan area.  I didn't manage to do a count today, but the showtimes were at an all time high, so I didn't think I'd be able to keep up, but at glance this is probably the strongest for sellouts I've seen in recent years for a Friday night.  I guess we're just not very indicative for this film.

With 150M from 25M midnights, guess it won't be beating Iron Man 3.

Everything you just said there is negated by the fact that this is a sequel.

There's your good news, aDIM.

[Accursed Arachnid!™]

You have to take it context.

 

There's no way you can take that picture in context, sorry.

Very slightly, it's still hitting $200m ow though so it won't matter.

[vc2002]

Nope.

 

Why not? I always thought Spiderman2 is very comparable for CF and TA2. If it's happening for CF, I suppose it will happen on TA2 as well.

Except it is easier to increase from a 150M OW than it is to increase from a 207M OW.

[spizzer]

I don't know if I'd call that good news.  But I'm positive in claiming that Friday sellouts look better relative to expectations than last night's sellouts, at least here.  That's still only one major center though, hardly indicative of the nation as a whole.

[alisson23]

How much multipler you think CF will do?
