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

[#ED]

No need to take shots at IM3, it was great.   

No.

I was hoping Rth's next post would troll us and post just the numbers for holdovers and Delivery Man, but that works, too

[Heretic]

I have little idea what RTH just said, but whatever. LIKE.

This is what denial looks like.

I'll stay in denial then until CF proves everyone wrong with its multi.   Remember, I was one of the few people here who said THG would have a great multi and hit 400 after that awful 2nd weekend drop. And I stuck by that like I will stick by CF having a greta multi.

[druv10]

based on Thursdays Thor 2 number, that is very unlikely

 

You really are a beacon of light.

West coast night shows still to come, but #CatchingFire trending towards low to mid 60s. Wknd may be < 1st HG.

 

 

This just gets better and better!

What do you mean no huge storm surge?? Did you miss "Storm Watch" after .26 inches of rain http://youtu.be/iBlDU8e7om0

 is that kind of coverage common after a bit of rain?

First Hunger Games had way less competition and was the first installments. Sequels are more naturally frontloaded

Someone needs to translate Nikki-speak into English

my expectations dropped after the lack of sellouts. I haven't expected legs all along and I see no reason to change that now. This needed a huge OW to get anywhere near 400M.

[Heretic]

I love meltdowns. They're just way, way, way, way, WAY more entertaining.

[druv10]

No.

 

Yes better than TDKR.     

[CaptainJackSparrow]

Catching Fire doesn't have much completion for a couple weeks... Then around Christmas time however..

And everyone said THG was acting like a sequel already and had too big of an OW to go above 2.5x multi. So we'll see if this franchise can continue to buck the trends. Remember, adults don't rush out to see movies, and THG acquired a huge adult audience in the end.

In LA, hell yes. Rain = endless hours of "woe is us" news.

Mockingjay part one if it is based on the book will be truly awful as the first half of that book deals with katniss's psychological problems and any action is strictly off screen. But for this movie anything less than the first is a disappointment, it is not a failure by any means but it is disappointing as even the most conservative estimates prior to today were over 160 million. It is not meeting expectations and that is a problem especially since the fact that the next movie will undoubtedly be boring

[Ozymandias]

Futurist has been noticeably absent for awhile.

Since when is 150m not a huge OW, especially outside of summer? I refuse to say 400m is out of play unless we get some number  <130m.

Strong business in San Diego, strongest west coast city so far

[Shawn Robbins]

I'm afraid to even attempt reading this thread. Still thinking my $159m predict is slightly possible, but at this point... *shrug*
