ASM2 over Catching Fire club?

ASM2 have to be great, I think hard with that unnecessary movie.

[mcclaine]

Everywhere except the in US, Catching Fire is going to make up to a 100% more than THG. So i guess Lionsgate is not going to worry very much if CF ends up doing a few millions less than THG. They know they are going to make at least 300M more overseas instead.

reasons for underperformance

 

 

 

-No Taylor Swift song

-Release of Xbox One distracting audiences

-People saving their money for The Hobbit 2

-Male audiences distracted by Call of Duty: Ghosts-Adult audiences too busy watching Hobbit : Extended Edition and Appendices 

-Delivery Man stealing away audiences

-Thor 2, Best Man's Holiday and Last Vegas still drawing in huge crowds

 

 

Also Sam Claflin and Phillip Seymour Hoffman turned audiences away like they did for Pirates 4 and Mission Impossible 3 respectively

[#ED]

This needs to do 70M today to stand a chance at 160M

[Accursed Arachnid!™]

 

 

Ummm, yes.

Or more people read the books after the first one and give zero fucks now.

Bomb.

I would think frontloaded nature of a sequel like this would make 70 million equal closer to 155 than 160, but maybe 160

[Dementeleus]

I thought we were using one long thread for the entire weekend.  I want CF to hit 300 pages!

 

Oh, it will.

[CJohn]

FUCK! It may not get those 300M!

[John Marston]

FUCK! It may not get those 300M!

 

 

is it bombing in Portugal?

[Jim Shorts]

reasons for underperformance piracy

leave Captain Phillips and the Somalian pirates out of this!

[Accursed Arachnid!™]

FUCK! It may not get those 300M!

 

 

It will. It just isn't coming close to 400.

[Chewy]

is it bombing in Portugal?

 

Do you even need to ask?

[baumer]

Being optimistic, let's say it does 68 mill OD.  Give it a slight increase on Saturday, although that seems unrealistic to me, but let's say it does.

 

You're looking at:

 

68

43

30

 

141 mill

[John Marston]

Do you even need to ask?

 

 

I do actually since the first one did well 

[baumer]

It will. It just isn't coming close to 400.

 

I see what you did there.
