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

Again, MJ1 will need some serious liberties taken from the book if they're gonna make a big success out of it. Even if CF had done 500m I still would have been concerned about MJ1.

Hunger Games hype is already waning it seems. Mockingjay 1 will likely not reach 300m simply because of the type of film it is. Part 2 should have a small increase. 

 

You're like a broken record.

I'm more worried about Futurist. 

Atleast we kind rest for some days from his gifs.

I'm sure he's fine . Wounded, but fine. And NO. I forgot who said it, but I am NOT starting fires in Boston or riots......

 

You love the movie, right? That's all that matters

Thanks, E, for posting those updates, but while the sellouts are good, they aren't spectacular. It's performing about as you might expect a 130-150m opener to do -- about how the Twilight and HPs did around here.

 

okay well you got the spreadsheet. Just wanted to keep hope alive.

[grey ghost]

All it needs if it opens to 150m is 2,67x multplier to reach 400m.

It's gonna be frontloaded.YA sequel.

You think it's going to have the same multiplier as the first one?

 

This is a sequel in a YA film franchise. No way.

That's not exactly "all". 2.4-2.5 is probably more realistic unless we see signs of strong legs.

Yeah, now that you mentioned it, haven't seen him posting in this weekend thread 

[tawasal]

so is 70m the maximum it can hit?  

[tawasal]

Well, we are not going to figure that out this weekend, as it will be like all sequels before it. 

[tawasal]

I am not saying it will, but with over 150m OW and some holiday boost it could very well do it. 

[Impact]

I was closer with my original predicts for this...

Well no 400M film has had the next one increase, and well that has not changed again.

Congrats to Clarke for reaching his 100 in the first Ashes test match.

Exactly I'm not butthurt at all. I'm disappointed it didn't or isn't going to get the OW we thought. But the film is amazing and that's all that matters. I'd be so butthurt if this film were terrible, despite it having good numbers. I'd vent out on this page so much, I'd probably be banned lolThis kind of reminds me of THG, though reverse. I'm glad it did so great.......but I'd trade the numbers in for a better made movie...O.O

[grey ghost]

Looks like the the Mockingjay 1 over Despicable Me 2 club should've been the Catching Fire under Despicable Me 2 club.

[tawasal]

I dunno for sure, but I think either baumer's club is gonna survive, if it keeps going down. 

[JohnnY]

First I thought that opening below THG would be weird, but isn't the fact that THG managed to open 150+ even weirder? I still don't get how this thing was so popular last year.

[Impact]

MJ1 has always been going to be the lowest grossing of the THG films.

Anyway-no need to panic IMO.
