I don't see the correlation.

 

Look at the week-to-week drops over the last few days:

 

CF Sat-to-Sat: -46%

GOF Sat-to-Sat: -45%

 

CF Sun-to-Sun: -58.8%

GOF Sun-to-Sun: -54.5%

 

CF Mon-to-Mon: -72.4%

GOF Mon-to-Mon: -69.7%

 

CF Tue-to-Tue: -74.9%

GOF Tue-to-Tue: 76.2%

 

CF Wed-to-Wed: -85.5%

GOF Wed-to-Wed: -86.2%

[Shawn Robbins]

I haven't had a chance to comment on the BO this week, but it definitely looks like CF won't be able to avoid a 60+% drop this weekend. Expected.

Hobbit won't make CF drop more than 45%.

 

Nah, it'll probably do that on its own.

[iceroll]

Lots of movies had pretty harsh 20%+ drops today so considering it had an 18% increase yesterday this is pretty good.

We should learn to treat holiday films such as CF much in the way that individuals that use steroids are treated.

 

Sure, it's all flashy and looks appealing as fuck at the outset, but in the end you're left with depression, wrinkly skin, and suicidal thoughts.  Let the demise of CF begin.

 

IMO.

That post is hilarious, but Catching Fire is having a great run regardless of how it finishes. It's a lock for $400m, which is a pretty good spot to be in if you're Lionsgate.

[CoolioD1]

Might see Frozen tomorrow.

 

 

Might not.

 

 

So that's what's going on with me.

 

 

Fuck, it's windy today.

So it's come to that when a movie is heading towards +400 fucking mln dom wise it's more about depressive, wrinkly and suicidal impression it give rather than its opening, wom and box office run

[B J]

Good hold for CF, hoping Frozen has a monster 15%+ increase today.

[iceroll]

Romeo and Juliet's $2 PTA

[B J]

Nah, it'll probably do that on its own.

I'm hoping it can avoid dropping over 45%

[BoxOfficeFangrl]

Romeo and Juliet's $2 PTA

For real, how is that possible? I guess it's in twelve theaters and some (most) of them were empty all day? That's a Zyzzyx Road kind of number.

Look at the week-to-week drops over the last few days:

 

CF Sat-to-Sat: -46%

GOF Sat-to-Sat: -45%

 

CF Sun-to-Sun: -58.8%

GOF Sun-to-Sun: -54.5%

Ah, I was looking at the daily drops instead;  Mon-Tues, Tues-Wed, etc.  

[baumer]

I knew Philomena would drop softly.  It was freakin sold out in my small city yesterday.  

[CJohn]

Time for leftovers! LEE DANIELS' THE BUTLER will return to 1,000+ theaters this weekend.

[wileECoyote]

A little steeper drop for Frozen than Tangled but considering the good hold yesterday its ok. Thor still chugging along

[lilmac]

Time for leftovers! LEE DANIELS' THE BUTLER will return to 1,000+ theaters this weekend.

 

 

Forrest Whitaker will be in 3 movies in the top 20 next weekend (Black Nativity, Out of the Furnace, The Butler)

[Jack Nevada]

Time for leftovers! LEE DANIELS' THE BUTLER will return to 1,000+ theaters this weekend.

Harvey's going for that Oscar. He's such a glutton for that shit, he's got like 5 movies he's pumping up for awards.
