God, have just seen it. That's crazy.

 

 

Yeah, I feel bad for Anderson. That's career-ending at his age.

 

Still the GOAT in my book.

Does anyone have the Saturday numbers?  Not the projected weekend gross, but the actual numbers?

[baumer]

UPDATE: SATURDAY, 11:45 PM: The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug looks to takeboth the 5-Day and the weekend as preliminary numbers have come in. Will be another update in the AM, but quickly, estimates show a$10.5M night (+4% from Friday) for the Warner Bros./MGM sequel. Frozen, (- 2%), is expected to take $9.7M to $9.9M for Disney in what has been an extraordinary holiday run for the animated family film. Paramount’sAnchorman 2: The Legend Continues strong with an estimated$7M to $7.2M (-1%) while American Hustle had a solid night with an estimated gross of $7M to $7.2M(+10% to 13%) for Sony and Annapurna (the production co, also behind the extraordinary WBros.’ film, Her). In the fifth spot is the shoulda-been-an-NC-17 excess mess The Wolf of Wall Street with around $6.8M (+8%) for Paramount.

 

The Bottom Five (estimates): Disney’s Saving Mr. Banks, $5M (+6%); Fox’sThe Secret Life of Walter Mitty, $4.6M to $4.8M (+3%); Hunger Games: Catching Fire, $3.5M for Lionsgate; In ninth, Universal’s 47 Ronin, $3.6M and rounding out the top ten is Tyler Perry’s A Madea Christmas, $2.7M for Lionsgate. Noteworthy: Warner Bros.’ Grudge Match,  $2.7M (+14% … one of – if not the – highest percentage increases from Friday to Saturday of the top 12).  More to come in the early AM.

 

So from this I get:

 

1) Smaug:  10.5 (+4%)

2) Frozen: 9.7 9.9 (-2%)

3) AM2:  7-7.2 (Flat)

4) AH: 7-7.2 (+10%)

5) Wolf:  6.8 (+8%)

6) Banks:  5 (+6%)

7) Mitty:  4.7 (+3%)

8) CF:  3.5 (+2-3%)

9) Ronin 3.6 (+6-7%)

10) Madea: 2.7 (+8-10%)

10 Grudge:  2.7 (+14%)

Not really.  He did really well with Wolf and Hustle as their runs are not over yet and they should get there.  Ender;s game and Mitty will be close as well.  

 

No one ever gets 10 predictions right.  This is box office, not mathematics.

A bit late to the barrage of admissions but I also have not seen Frozen. Seems more like a Netflix deal for me.

[CJohn]

WoWS kinda disappointed.

[baumer]

All I can say about frozen is that I generally do not care for animation but frozen really struck a chord with me. Olaf had a lot to do with it. I think i love Josh Gad.

[kayumanggi]

WoWS kinda disappointed.

 

It's expected imo considering the competition, the long run time and the R-18 (almost NC-17) rating.

[4815162342]

As for the numbers, looks like I was right about Smaug increasing 4% on Saturday. I just was wrong with how it would do on Friday.

[DeeCee]

Actually, "R" means under 17's require a parent or guardian. It looks like in Australia it is getting a R18+ rating. This means under 18's are banned with or without a guardian.Here we go. http://www.classification.gov.au/Pages/View.aspx?sid=m7TR03icZrSnz6mVoywIJw%253d%253d&ncdctx=w121Oo8siLwFR9u2dUz0Ve%252fxuFfBA0OxPdd5AvByHU3RO1dvI9wXQJoOd2AgJ3lo6cQbEjvY5QauhztRn755DQ%253d%253dGoing by reports here I suspect the movie would have to be cut to achieve MA15+ on an appeal of the decision.

I am curious to see the rating in Portugal. Probably will be M18 (under 18 years old can only enter with an adult). We don't have any rating that bans a person from a movie.

[ChD]

The Conjuring got a IM-18 here, so this should do that easily.

Might I add that Frozen is the first movie to ever get a 2D AND a 3D screening at the theater nearest to me.

Wolf is a 16 in Finland cause here violence is considered more harmful than explicit sex. A movie will not get an 18 for sex unless its unsimulated.

The rating in Portugal is yet to be confirmed but I am curious. Machete Kills got a M-12 (only people with 12 years or over can see it) while Homeland got a M-16. Ratings are just weird over here.

Porn is simulated, is it not?

 

I mean, they are not really loving each other...
