Weekend Estimates: The Hobbit - 73.6M | Frozen - 22.2M | Madea - 16M

[Impact]

^Nevermind that-I was think BN was higher then 6M.

[druv10]

so is that 27m number final?

 

How would it be final, we still got 4 hours till west coast hits midnight so this is more of a early guesstimate.  

[Jandrew]

I know nothing about Hobbit, but $4 MIL FOR MADEA?!? Damn, who did Tyler Perry piss off last year to get 2 bombs in a row out of all his previous success? Christmas theme, more diverse cast, no Madea in 18 months, only major Christmas movie this month - Tyler's about to deck somebodys halls at Lionsgate...or theyll be decking his, Sharkeisha style.

 

Sharkeisha noooooooo!!!!!

What do you mean commercially? Are you saying it won't make a profit?

 

LOL I know it probably won't make 150m but as far as it being a commercial success I don't know. I don't know what the budget is. Do you?

IDK the budget. I mean a surprise hit like J-Beebz was wanting. Pretty sure a 70M (which would be mindblowingly great for Davis) wouldn't be necessarily a hit

Lions does not care-they are counting money THG is making

[Captain Craig]

So what I'm hearing is that H:DoS is officially out of the running for the US Domestic crown then. 

[MovieMan89]

I was afraid DOS was gonna miss 70m. The hype wasn't there, even I knew it. Hoping it plays less Friday frontloaded than AUJ over the weekend though. If it does it could still hit 70+. Then from there it will be up to WOM to save it. Not gonna beat AUJ now though.

You mean Temptation? That was a success.

Was it ever remotely in the running?

[Empire]

Shut up ijack

[Impact]

Sad part is-only 4 films will be above 3M this weekend.

It has been out of the running since the beginning of May.

[ecstasy]

It'll be for the best Hun, it'll be for the best. If it tanks, think of it like it's a metaphor of Wolverine having to gut Jean in order to save the World.

I'm sorry E, but after reading some stuff about where the Fox-Men money's budget is actually going, suddenly the cheap looking figurine and sets started to make sense. I hope to be wrong, but if I'm not, the good news is that the X-Men will be heading home soon.

 

 

What are you reading? Where is this bit of info?

[druv10]

Madea number is the bigger shock. Holy crap, only 4M.

You're forgetting Peeples with the fabulous Craig Robinson.

This year is not a great year and next year looks even worse-but then the hurricane of 2015 comes.

[Fancyarcher]

Perry only produced that (yes his name was over it, but it w a different story, it wasn't Tyler Perrys, it was Tyler Perry presents).

You know there were a few still clinging to that nugget. You'd see the rare mention in the CF vs IM3 discussions "don't rule out DoS just yet" 

[druv10]

Less pressure at Texas as well. Mack has underachieved given their talent, yet he has had a very long leash there when you look at how big his salary is. Bama has been spoiled by Saban's success and they expect him to win it every year now, which is an insane standard.

 

It's always fun to lol at UT and it's entitled fanbase.

No I never saw any of that. Maybe one person on page 186 of random thread X said that. But one cuckoo does not a nest make.
