Watching the 24 hour marathon of Christmas Story. Good stuff

Here is my guess for today's top 5Wolf 9,5Smaug 8,2Smitty 7,3Frozen 7,1Anchor 5,9

 

That Frozen number would be shocking as most animations drop on Christmas Day so I'll take a small drop/increase today. Thursday is the day where it'll jump 120-130% followed by another 35-40% on Friday.

Last year CD openers grossed a total of 39 mill, that was three films, so just for fun, perhaps that will translate into this for the four openers: Wolf:  13Mitty:  11Grudge:  9Ronini:  7

I like your numbers better. But i think they are to high

Yeah. But Frozen are out of normal thinking IMO..Im sticking with that number

In other news, Spider-Man is on TNT right now. Remember when this came out and it was special because there weren't four comic book movies a year?

 

It's still special. I don't understand this type of complaining. SH is a genre just like animation, comedy, horror... etc, yet I don't here people complaint about their yearly total. What gives?

[fmpro]

100 mill budget for Wolf..Should not be a problem

[Mango]

I wouldn't call it very special. Maybe a team-up of them like Avengers or the upcoming Batman/Superman movie but at this point it is pretty common to see a handful of them a year. 2002 was the first year there were two comic book films with Blade II and Spider-Man actually.

 

Unless you go to 1997 and actually count MIB as a comic book film.

 

Also Spider-Man is still better than 80% of the comic book movies released.

So Mitty needs 200 WW to not be a flop hopefully it gets there

[Dementeleus]

T2 19 times in theaters, bitches. Yeah, I had nothing to do that summer.

[druv10]

You may be right. It has shocked us from the beginning so what is another shock. If your scenario came true than we're looking at 350M+ for Frozen.

Wolf sold out its 3:05 showing about ten minutes ago! Awesome! 

 

Based on early business and the pattern it's undergoing, I think Mr. Banks increases to over 5 million and has an upset top five finish. Two sellouts already. This could have the best legs of the season

lol, Tele put us in our spot.

I watched T2 last night. Despite the lame hillbilly opening and some of Sarah's monologues being far too 'on the nose', it's kind of incredible. The Terminator is still the best though.

Again, you didn't answer the question why do you only want 1 or 2 SH movies in a year at most? SH is a genre so 4 to 5 movies year isn't a lot when you consider we get 600 movies in a year.

I think anything over 4 is too much superhero movies are supposed to be event movies

I didn't realize you were asking.    And I love superhero movies as much as the next geek but I have to admit the market is becoming kind of saturated. I don't know for sure if it's effecting the quality or not but I would rather have one or two SM1 or Avengers quality movies than several "okay" movies.

No offense but TBS 24 hour Christmas Story marathon has literally ruined the movie for me.
