B J Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Friday Update: Sources tell BoxOffice that Frozen will push The Hunger Games: Catching Fire out of first place this weekend. Disney's latest animated flick is headed for as much as $36 million during its second weekend of wide release, which would put it at nearly $140 million in North America. Catching Fire looks poised to make as much as $34 million, and that means the $350 million domestic mark is not far off. Out of the Furnace could rope in $7 million during its first weekend of wide release. More coming soon... that would be good but seems optimistic. That would require some damn impressive Friday increases, but BJ likes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spizzer Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 (edited) how big a Friday would CF need to reach that number That would need like a Friday healthily over 10M 10.5M Friday 14.7M Saturday (+40%) 8.8M Sunday (-41%) 34.0M weekend. Not happening, that's a 250% Friday increase Edited December 6, 2013 by spizzer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could happen for Frozen but not CF I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spizzer Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 that sounds like over 200% jump. Could happen for Frozen but not CF I think Yeah, 250%. As I said on the last page, I don't see anything under a 65% drop. Have it projected for 24M (-67.6%) as of now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spizzer Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 ya nevah know, could happen Yeah but that might be more impressive than last weekend if it does. I'm much more comfortable predicting Frozen to hit 30+ than CF at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
commonsense88 Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 (edited) If CF matches GOF increases, it will gross $31.55 this weekend, if Frozen matches ToyStory2 increases it will gross, $27.71 this weekend. I think the 34 million and 36 million number is way to high, To reach those numbers CF wil have to increase 260% Friday and Frozen over 300% Friday, I would go with an optimistic $31 million for CF and $30 million for Frozen Edited December 6, 2013 by commonsense88 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lilmac Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Its a long shot but definitely not outside the realm of possibilities.Besides you can never fully gauge these early December weekends for family films off one day. It might have a 240% increase today but end up going up 120% Sat. They are rarely consistent with other films.I haven't given up on $30 million. Not yet. I'm assuming a 200% increase on Saturday. You need $7.5m...like you said...we'll know soon enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mango Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 (edited) frozen$7.5m157.5Its definitely not dropping 50% Sunday. More like 30-35%.I think it'll do- Fri- $7.1 (+280%)Sat- $13.8 (+95%)Sun- $9.1 (-34%) Adds up to exactly $30 million.

BiffMan Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Have to think the ice storm is going to curtail at least some of the Friday business. Hopefully a good recovery jump for both on Saturday, but can't see today being a mammoth jump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
