[rockNrollaDIM]

I'm so glad I'm drunk. Otherwise this could be a looooooong night. My poor Katniss.

300m might be gone...  Worse Friday business than Deathly Hallows Part 1 for crying out loud.

 

 

Calm down, it's going to hit 300M with Thanksgiving coming. 

[Chewy]

That Friday business is barely 10M higher than Thor's. Just brutal

[Dementeleus]

Ya know, a little historical context.

 

$60 MILLION FUCKING DOLLARS IN A SINGLE DAY?! That is amazing. I mean, that's what THE ABYSS grossed in its entire run.

 

 

 

(What's that, you say? It's not 1994? Hmmmmm.....)

Every THG fan in this thread right now:

[spizzer]

With 60M

 

25.0M Previews

35.0M Friday

37.5M Saturday (+7%ish)

25.5M Sunday (-33%ish)

 

122.0M OW

 

With 65M

 

25.0M Previews

40.0M Friday

43.0M Saturday (+7%ish)

29.0M Sunday (-33%ish)

 

137.M OW

 

Saturday increases will likely be stronger with that kind of Friday business. I'd say 130-140M is spot on if 60-65M for Friday holds true.

If it does 122 mil Hobbit 2 will have a great chance at topping it.

[Lordmandeep]

Lol imagine in April one said CF would have an opening day below IM3 

[Talkie]

The Hunger Games: Catching box office

Shouldn't that be: The Hunger Games: Catching Cold? 

[Dementeleus]

So in other words the best case scenario is scraping by NEW MOON's record? Wow.

[Lordmandeep]

It makes sense THG did 8 sellouts at my theater last year, this year it did 2 99% sellouts.

[redfirebird2008]

I remember this line of logic being used when IM2's Friday came in way under expectations. It was a "sign" that Saturday would be bigger than expected. And then the Saturday number sucked too.

Unless we see a big jump in Friday estimate anytime soon?  Yeah probably.  

[Cmasterclay]

I will literally bet you 50 dollars cash that CF still beats the Hobbit, no matter what the opening is.

Those are awful. Damn, this movie deserves so much more. 

[Mojoguy]

Did they wait too long to release CF? Should it have been released March 2013?

CF is better received than IM2 doe

[MovieMan89]

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.

So I noticed that we can get "likes" by posting pretty much anything as long as it's in this thread right now. Great time to hoard the likes
