TLK Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 I don't see CF dropping big against the Hobbit at all. It will lose most of its IMAX screens + regular screen count will also suffer against a big opener. A 50%+ drop will most likely happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Marston Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 CF should drop around 60% this weekend. Even Potter movies that dropped sub 50s on Thanksgiving fell about that much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moviefanatic Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 (edited) It will lose most of its IMAX screens + regular screen count will also suffer against a big opener. A 50%+ drop will most likely happen. And I am already aware of that. I still don't think TH2 is going to make CF drop 50%. You all can continue to doubt or be cautious about this films run...I will not. 50%+ drop this weekend is going to happen but I will not be surprised if it doesn't drop 50% for the rest of the December weekends after that.

IMAX loss is quite significant for big movies like this. That's 250-300 theaters with high ticket prices that are no longer playing your movie. While I think a sub 50% drop is possible I won't be surprised with a drop that is around mid 50s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Nevada Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 I'm 17, but I've been actively going to the movies for only three years now. I have to say.. 2013 has made me really fall in love with film, and the experience of going to the movies. It's been such amazing year. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think imax is playing that big a part for CF. Even OW was muted and I did not see them even selling out that much. I guess LG did not market it that well enough or its audience base do not care about iMax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to say.. 2013 has made me really fall in love with film, and the experience of going to the movies. It's been such amazing year. I've loved movies since 1977, but I'll agree that for some reason I have just seen a ton of movies in 2013. And I've enjoyed most of them. I'd definitely agree that it has been a good year for movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mango Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 I've always enjoyed going to the movies but I think 2008-2009 really made me a big film fan. It helped that interest really came about when I was in my freshman year of HS (really the big start of someone's journey to "find themselves" I guess) and coming off of films like Iron Man, The Dark Knight, Wall-E, and Gran Torino really made me start to gain interest in the film industry like never before. And yeah, 2013 hasn't actually been the best year for me for various reasons but as far as moviegoing this year things have been really good which definitely helps.

Obsession is a good word. I feel like seeing all kinds of movies all the time, and I love doing it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that why gravity dropped so hard this weekend The Hobbit didn't cause any big drops last year and I don't see this one opening any higher so im predicting a 40-45% drop.

Biggestgeekever Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 TDKR made $3.6m in IMAX during its fourth weekend, and that opened 50% higher in the format than CF. I doubt losing IMAX screens will cost CF more than a million during the weekend The Hobbit opens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mango Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Catching Fire and Frozen managed to buck trends all week so hopefully they can keep going and have some smaller than normal drops this next weekend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noctis Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Speaking of Gravity, it's now at $249.7m, which means it's passed Prisoner of Azkaban's $249.5m to be the highest grossing film of Alfonso Cuaron's career in the States. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mango Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Wonder if RTH is going to give us his updated numbers tonight? Well at this point we pretty much know how the weekend is going to turn out. Normally the margin of failure for the estimates is fairly small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally the margin of failure for the estimates is fairly small. Yea that's true. I remember when Disney said 200.3 million for TA and that number turned out to be 207 million. That was awesome. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
