4815162342 Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 The NFL talk is laying low for the moment. But trust me, when the right game is playing, at the right time, it will strike back. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will those be when ED's games will be played, because he is the one with biggest meltdown every night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Founder / Operator Shawn Robbins Posted December 18, 2013 Founder / Operator Share Posted December 18, 2013 Les something and Django were posting great numbers. True, but they opened a week later than Anchorman 2. DOS would be doing well just to maintain a similar 2nd weekend hold as AUJ (which faced Jack Reacher and This Is 40 on its 2nd wknd).

Those 2 were weak I know, but Les M and Django oppened in it's 12th day in theaters, and both of them topped it on their OD. They did much bigger numbers than Anchorman 2. 18m and 15m in the same day is really something big to face. 10m wouldn't be that much of damage from one movie I am guessing.

But last year on it's second weekend AUJ faced movies which made 15M, 11M, 7M and 7M. This year, with Anchorman 2, American Hustle, Frozen, Saving Mr. Banks and Catching Fire. It will likely face an additional 30-45M of competition on weekend 2 itself, and Christmas day is ridiculously crowded. DoS needed a bigger opening to finish on par with AUJ IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The market expands for Christmas Day, though. Plus, there's Hustle entering the picture this weekend too. Anchorman 2 alone will make more than the 4 wide releases combined on the same weekend last year (Hobbit's second). Then tack on another $15-25m from Hustle (also more than any new release last year). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure those movies are going to make over 20m each? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grim22 Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Are you sure those movies are going to make over 20m each? They don't need to. Anchorman 2 will probably make 30M+ by itself. Which means that the remaining movies just need to match last year's competition. Frozen will probably still do 13-16M, American Hustle and Banks should both be in the 10-15 range, and CF will be around 7M. Walking with Dinosaurs should do 5-10M as well (no idea about that one tbh) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJ-8 Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 (edited) So wait all this talk of am2 doing well and it's heading for a 10m OD which means it's around 7.7m for the day + 2.3m mids or whatever. So projected?Wed - 10Thurs - 4Fri - 8Sat 10 Sun 7That would be a 25m / 39m opening. No where near as strong as hoped?

They aren't sure fire competition. Edited December 18, 2013 by tawasal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrong weekend. That is next weekend you are thinking of. Next weekend will have Wolf of wall street, Walter Mitty, Grudge Match, 47 Ronin, Believe, Mandela (expansion) and August: Osage County. In addition to American Hustle, Anchorman 2, Frozen and Mr. Banks. The release schedule is ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
