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

[lab276]

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.

How did HP1 and SM do on DVD? Really well presumably. They still dropped.

With this tragedy, the level and consistancy of the Twilight movies success remain a mystery that scientists will study for generations to come.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.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. :unsure:I don't believe in legs anymore, for whatever reason, this is resonnating less than Twilight with GA.

This is a tragedy of epic proportions. It is a sad day for us Lawsbians :(Did you at least see the film yet? It's a masterpiece.

SM1 was huge. 15m or more when you factor in VHS (lol, yes it was still around!).

[druv10]

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

 

I'm hoping for the same thing. I really liked it and it was much better than THG.

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

 

We're bleeding for Katniss and still we stand tall'Cause maybe we've seen worse and RTH will save us all, yeahWith so many weekdays to go and doughs to be found(To be found)I'm sure that we'll all miss her soIt's the final Meltdown!

But with the frontloaded market, the drop on OW is a mystery to me. Tracking and buzz completely flubbed CF.

I reckon if more people tracked the box office like I did, disappointments like these will begin to wash over you. The act of going to the movies is in decline. It will keep declining for a while yet and will never recover. You'd get used to being disappointed real quick.

The market is always getting more frontloaded.

That sounds like a shitty way to track box office tbh.

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.

No major movie is going to get scheduled for 5/8.Avengers steamrolled everything for weeks the last time.But I agree TA2 is going to drop around 20%.

Exactly, so drop on OW makes no sense to a well liked movie with super high awareness. This worries me greatly for SW7 and TA2. 

[Lordmandeep]

I think TA 2 wll do a Spider Man 2.

 

Biggeer opening but fall domestic. 

[The Futurist]

People can say whatever they want but what is happening is a mystery to me.

 

One of the weirdest OW for sure.

DreamWorks CEO Stacey Snider keeps presiding over bad box office. 'Delivery Man' her 7th disappointment. Why, given studio's small output.

lol, Nikki. As usual Queens on top of her game.

Twitter is the best thing to ever happen to the Queen.

I can't think of it any other way. And like I said, you get a very Que Sera Sera attitude to it all.

[theultimatebiu]

MJ1 will be the lowest grosser of the lot. I can't see that hitting well with audiences at all

Bigger opening? You mean OD? I guess with a Friday release would have done 120M+ Aren't most expecting this? I can't believe the recent 200M OW and sub-200M OW I have seen today. With 225M+ OW beating TA I would say is a 70% lock and anything above 240M and TA is going down.

Well, there's not much you can do should that happen, so it's best not to worry.

If CF doesn't crack 380, I don't see MJ1 crack 300 especially without 3d.
