druv10 Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Domestic Box Office Record Follows Previously Announced Global and International HighsBURBANK, Calif. - December 16, 2013 - On Saturday, December 14, The Walt Disney Studios reached a new all-time high at the domestic box office, breaking the company's previous record of $1.547 billion set in 2012. The accomplishment makes 2013 a landmark year for Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures, which has already surpassed all previous years at both the international and global box office. http://www.boxoffice.com/latest-news/2013-12-16-walt-disney-studios-announces-record-setting-year Banner year continues for Disney. I shudder to think what 2015 will bring in TA:AoU, SW7, FD, Ant-man and etc. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Stingray Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 I feel bad for JC, man. His ego really got the better of him back when he was big in the early '90s. JCVD: They offered me a three-picture deal. 36 million dollars. 12 million per picture. But I said, 'I want twenty, twenty, twenty like Jim Carrey'... And they hang up on me. I totally fucked up. I was on the blacklist for years... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peludo Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Box Office does matter on many aspects such as what kind of movies get sequels and which directors studios will put faith on etc. In this case, the third part is already made and Tolkien family will not sell the rights for more books, so there is no problem with that. Said this, in spite of the disappointing run in US, it is still going to make more money than most movies this year, fighting against DM2 for #2 WW. Disappointing? Sure. Failure? Not even close. This will be the first trilogy ever earning 3 billion in box office and people will still claim that it is a "floppit". Many "cool" and "fresh" franchises still dream to make what this flop is doing around the world. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Stingray Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 You know, I have only seen the very first of the Hobbit movies, the one from 2001. And that was because of a girl. And I didn't even get some at the end of the night. I mean for Christ's sake, friends don't handfeed each other popcorn! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many "cool" and "fresh" franchises still dream to make what this flop is doing around the world.This is true. I'm not a fan of the franchise, nor a hater. I'm just indifferent towards it in general. But you really can't deny the success it has BO-wise around the world. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kalongbat Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 (edited) uggg, what a terrible number. I really enjoyed the movie - seeing these numbers are utterly ruining the experience for me. It actually physically hurts me seeing it performing like this, to the point where I need to get out my anti-depressant meds to cope. Is there something wrong with me, in that I am one of only a few who enjoyed the movie and most everyone else think it is an abomination? What am I failing to see? :( Edited December 17, 2013 by kalongbat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What am I failing to see? :( Whoa, calm down. Nothing's wrong with you. Don't think like that. People just have different tastes. Besides, many of your fellow fans here enjoy the movie as well.And BO numbers are just that, numbers. There's absolutely no reasons to get depressed about it. You love the movie, that's all that matters. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was on suicide watch after HBP's opening weekend. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: Sorry. That was uncalled for. If you really do feel that way, I'd advise you to seek help though. Just talking to someone and getting it off your chest can work wonders.
