OK, nobody has asked yet so I will, where are the Bieber numbers!?

 

I'm having so much fun watching Frozen's success, but a part of me also wants to revel in the total failure of the Bieber film.

I beliebe Beiber can go buck himself.

Its 4th weekend was in the top 20, it could have had a 25% drop and still made the top 10 for the 5th weekend chart.

is Wolf really that provocative anyway? I assume it would be not even half as disturbing as Nymphomaniac.

Not really, it's just shocking for the GA who went in expecting a typical comedy.

Their earlier holds were high because of the holidays making later holds be able to stay high, Frozen also had to go through the death week of the first weekend of December.

 

They're holds after the holidays is a different thing. You can't compare christmas boosted holiday weekend to weekends outside the christmas. Its great frozen is doing so well, I loved it giving it an A score but Frozen's potential 30m 5th weekend is a pale comparison to the achievements of Avatar and Titanic 5th weekends.

Bieber film won't definitely hit the top 10 for sure

That's just like your opinion man.

Did the GA not see the trailer before going in. What did they expect?

Leo to adapt a wolf cub who he names Jack and raises on wall street. the cub helps everyone including saving an old lady from a mugging. on it's 5th birthday, a car driver runs over it and the wolf dies. it turns out the driver was that same old lady it saved earlier. everyone cries. Leo says "come back..come back...come back jack"...screen fades out to "Wolf of Wall Street"

Not opinion, fact. You've been around since October so your relatively new to box office. Once you've been following it for 5 years let me know.

I decided that instead of making some spreadsheets, I would instead work on this 40oz Holiday Cheer I got. It's so delicious!!

[yjs]

as impressive as it is, I guess no one here thinks Frozen's run is actually comparable to that of Avatar or Titanic anyway.

And exactly how many of those that have been following it [box office] for 5 years predicted Frozen's current run... Christmas or not?

 

That's right.  None.

[cory]

All three movies benefited from holiday weekends early in their runs. The earlier in a movie's run a boosted hold is, the bigger the impact that it has on the total run of the film. 

In Frozen's case, it's almost like the movie looped back to its second weekend, which is impressive in its own right. Frozen's sixth weekend could be bigger than its third, and it's not like it didn't have a big opening to begin with. 

 

edit: I was predicting about $220M for this, just a smidge above Tangled. The trailers were weak and it looked too much like they were drawing from the same formula again.

You weren't getting any of my references were you.... 

 

Eight year olds dude...

[Deep Wang]

So, Frozen making about 30m on its fifth weekend isn't that impressive because it's happening during Christmas?Let's look back at all the past movies whose fifth weekend was during Christmas and see how many of them made $30m. Hmmmm, none even close it would seem.

[eXtacy]

Jeez guys, all I'm saying is keep in mind its heavily boosted by the Christmas weekend. Its fourth weekend only ranked 20th.

[Elessar]

Oh, well....

[wileECoyote]

No you can't the 5th weekends were after the holidays.

 

Avatar's and Titanic's 5th weekend fell on MLK Jr Day weekend so it did receive a boost.  Maybe not as much as it would during Xmas but still a boost.
