I don't think this locks up a gross over thg yet.Looking into the past will likely make 66-70% gross by Sunday.

I don't think this locks up a gross over thg yet.Looking into the past will likely make 66-70% gross by Sunday.

It depends on what it's grossed after 10 days. But, yeah, I do expect Catching Fire to have amassed about 70% of it's domestic total by weekend's end. So... If Catching Fire has $285M after ten days, I will likely surpass Hunger Games and gross $410M or better. And, right now, it could go as high as $300M domestic in ten days. So, honestly, even it's as frontloaded as Goblet of Fire's opening ten days, it will still easily pass Hunger Games' domestic haul.

 

Now, if Catching Fire's opening ten are as frontloaded as Deathly Hallows Part 1, it could come up short. Seems to appeal to a wider audience and is drawing more raves from your average moviegoer for that to happen.

Obviously lordman the first 10 days of huge releases is like 70 percent if not more of there gross.

[#ED]

Those of you interested, some blu rays just went on sale Bestbuy and amazon.

[Lordmandeep]

Of course that is why I was saying thg domestic total should still be the target for the film.

I just got Gatsby and GI joe Retialation in 3D for 14.99 each!

[JohnnyGossamer]

And, that's why I'm saying, if Catching Fire's at $285M+ after Sunday, it will still trump Hunger Games domestic. Even if it's grossed 65% to 70% of its domestic total.

[htall90]

I thought it always was matching the previous movie is the target for most movies lol!

[htall90]

Yeh true johnny but nothing is certain maybe first 10 days are incredibly front loaded lol!

[jacquelinejane]

Deadline's saying 23 now for CF and 17 for Frozen.

 

[kayumanggi]

Don't forget The Conjuring, y'all. It ain't everyday that a little horror movie makes 130m.

 

And 300 M plus worldwide. Take that AFTER EARTH and THE LONE RANGER! lol

There's now a Frozen > Smaug club

I like that other gif where the guy in specs keeps on staring in the camera with a straight-face, while others around him go batshit-crazy.

Yeh I agree gravity run was much more shocking then this.

What's cool about Gravity is it isn't done yet, if it can stay in theaters till Oscar buzz it could come back and sink in about 30m or more similar to Argo.

I'm not very certain about animated holiday releases... How much, on average, have recent animated 3D films opening over the Thanksgiving holiday increased from Wednesday to Friday? In short, what's Frozen likely to gross this holiday weekend?

Expect a massive Friday boost.

IM3's OS run was unbelievable.....think most OS audiences thought it was basically TA2. As Thor2's rather meh run has shown, RDJ is the heartbeat of MCU.

[htall90]

After IM 3 it's hard to imagine how massive TA2 will be OS!

[LexJoker]

After IM 3 it's hard to imagine how massive TA2 will be OS!

I am pretty sure Iron Man and RDJ will still be the prominent figures in TA2 trailers.

After waking up, 22M number is still there for CF and 15-16M for Frozen, unbelievable. I love to see huge grosses period but seeing them for movies I've enjoyed is just amazing.
