Dementeleus Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Here's the Thanksgiving number for last year: http://boxofficemojo.com/daily/chart/?sortdate=2012-11-20&p=.htm Huge increases on Tuesday, followed by huge increases the next day. Now, I realize that there's only one film on that list that's making a comparable amount of money to CF, but it's pretty clear CF is nothing like the Twilight franchise. I can also accept anyone who thinks we have no idea what's going to happen. This number is the biggest November weekday in history, by a considerable degree as far as I can tell. These be uncharted waters. This year the Tuesday/Wednesday situation is even more extreme. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
druv10 Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 (edited) Thor went up a gargantuan 35%-40% Thor recovered very nicely. It should be at around 188M after the weekend and finish around 210M+. Not a bad result after all of the doom and gloom.

ecstasy Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 I agree with Biggestgeek This is uncharted waters. I am content to sit back and watch the CF do it's box office thing. There's no franchise to compare it with because it's not like any other franchise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's basically HP with somewhat better legs. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Founder / Operator Shawn Robbins Posted November 27, 2013 Founder / Operator Share Posted November 27, 2013 Great increase, but it needs to keep up a consistent string of larger than normal drops for something like Tuesday's bump to have any real significance in the long run.

B J Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Erm, I disagree. It's basically HP with somewhat better legs. That bodes very well for CF then because Potter7.1 on a wk to wk basis held as good as Potter4 throughout the first three wks of December before falling behind in wk 4. Potter4s Christmas boost was quite impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dementeleus Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Well if it has better legs then it's not HP at all. I'm not saying it's HP... I'm saying you can compare it once you adjust. There are very few franchises that earn the distinction of "being unlike any other" (one of them, I'd say, is AVATAR, because we have no idea *who* exactly comprises that fan-base as a whole). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Founder / Operator Shawn Robbins Posted November 27, 2013 Founder / Operator Share Posted November 27, 2013 huh I'll rephrase: although I know there's not much I can do to stop the fan pendulum of expectations for legs, taking single day drops and using them to drastically change one's projection for the final gross is the quickest way to be disappointed in the long run (unless you're lowering your projection ).
