Those early numbers should be taken with a grain of salt, but unless tomorrows box office improves, someone was going to start a thread called Hunger Games: Catching Fire: What Went Wrong regardless.

 

NO

Unfortunately, the mods don't like those.

Love this line from the Variety box office report. It should just be retitled "We just want to be the first to publish"

 

Based on Friday matinee sales, industry observers estimated the launch frame for the U.S. would finish between $130 million to $150 million domestically.

 

The ranges being thrown out today are amazing. 10-20M ranges.

It'll be locked.  No film that opens to 130-150 mill is worthy of a WWW thread, and the only thing that went wrong is people's inflated and unrealistic expectations.

Damn, and to think we were underwhelmed at Thor: The Dark World only having a 30% increase from Thor.

No one really has a fucking clue.

NO

 

I'm not saying the topic wouldn't be closed, but someone was going to open a thread like that, you just know it.

Glad I got that out of the way.

What about Delivery Man?

[Gopher]

that would look so bad on their part. No way

Why not dominate March/April like HG did instead of getting two weekends at the box office before you're considered old news (like all the Potter and Twilight films)? The 130-150 figure in Variety could indicate a somewhat steep decline from HG. I guess the franchise peaked in curiosity/popularity last year. Edited November 23, 2013 by Gopher

I gotta drive to Boston first thing in the morning tomorrow. When I get there am I gonna find the city in flames and aDIM and k1stpierre leading a band of cannibal rapists or something?

What about Delivery Man?

 

 

As for this weekend’s other wide release, DreamWorks’ Vince Vaughn comedy is failing to deliver. “Delivery Man,” a remake of the 2011 French-Canadian hit “Starbuck,” is poised for a soft $9 million opening.

I hope it makes it to $150M, I love the movie!

[Mojoguy]

Damn, and to think we were underwhelmed at Thor: The Dark World only having a 30% increase from Thor.

People forget that second movies increasing from a first movie is still not common at all.

[Hanamichi Sakuragi]

This thread.

Aside from CF,I'm also looking forward to Captain Phillips crossing $100M this weekend

[John Marston]

People should stop comparing to Avengers or IM. It won't perform the same

On the plus side, you'll meet Channing Tatum.
