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

[Hatebox]

Because it's the first one and because a bunch of us were 8 at the time, it's got some serious nostalgia value.

 

Probably. I was 16 when I saw it at the cinema. Between the main trio's acting and the frequently awkward pacing, it didn't stand much of a chance with me. But I was impressed at what the series mangaged to evolve into.

What is the worst case scenario here, not even 300 ? I don't see it exploding OS either, it is getting crushed by Gravity in China.

Most people are seeing ~350m (which I think would be phenomenal considering its OD).And who cares about China? It's doing really well in Europe and Australia.

The Futurist looking at the weekend chart on BOM tomorrow will be like looking directly into the ark of the covenant for him.

Remember this IM3 opened to 174 million

 

If it had the same 3d Share as TA it would have done 181 

[theultimatebiu]

That is what confuses me. Twilight was able to hit so hard but it was trash. A overlong franchise in which the protagonist's only concern was who was going to fill her snatch.

Only reason TA's 3D share was so much higher is because it had a 1200 fewer screens and a fuckload more sellouts, so people were forced to watch it in 3D.

[Heretic]

With this tragedy, the level and consistancy of the Twilight movies success remain a mystery that scientists will study for generations to come.

I don't see it touching 800m ww, 750m ww tops, which is only 50m higher than the first one. Wall Street analists predicted 900,950m ww for CF ...

 

Oh Boy ...

 

The big paradox is that the movie has an even better critical reception from audience and critics than the first one.

 

What is happening would be a good start for a Twilight Zone or X Files episode.

 

Dark Times.

 

 

I don't believe in legs anymore, for whatever reason, this is resonnating less than Twilight with GA.

Chill. 800m WW is still possible. Infact, quite likely.

I knew a disapointment was possible but not of that magnitude.

I agree, but shouldn't this have shown up in home video sales compared to THG? The biggest home video sellers tend to be animated movies. Can't get any more "family audience" than animated flicks like The Lion King and Finding Nemo.

 

TA sold butt load more B/R over THG. B/R just isn't properly tracked but it easily doubled THG.  

[#ED]

67.5M!?!?!?

[The Futurist]

Plus the first movie had kinda great legs and managed to crawl to 408m ...

 

Hope CF will have decent legs and manages to crawl to 350m, but the holiday season is stacked ...

It always is.

They are keeping track of it nowadays. 5.1m DVD's and 4.9m Blu-rays for Avengers. 7.9m DVD's and 2.9m Blu-rays for THG. Do the math. That's 800,000 more units for THG, which makes THG2's performance that much more shocking this weekend.

Avengers 2 should drop slightly in OW and 20% domestic. 1st time is a charm and 2nd time around there isn't anything spectacular about the ensemble. I dont see 2nd phase having that strong an appeal to GA that origin movies did for 1st phase. Unles Guardians explode(which looks so remote), Avengers need something new to sell. Plus competition should be there even though currently it looks light.For example nothing is scheduled for 5/8 and its impossible that it stays that way.

Is there a real number yet?

Shocking for sure. Maybe release date, needs to be back in March. I really got nothing as to why CF dropped the ball this badly.

Yeah, maybe just the release date. Hopefully it has a really good hold over the holidays next week.

Domestic:  $292,324,737  35.2% + Foreign:  $537,360,640  64.8% = Worldwide:  $829,685,377  

 

 

Ladies and gentlemen, the biggest Lionsgate/Summit movie for the next 10 or 15 years.

 

Mockingjay part 1 : 230m. 550m ww.

Mockingjay part 2 : 280m. 600m ww.

What kind of legs can we expect? It doesn't have competition til Hobbit in three weeks.
