Superbowl Weekend Numbers (RTH updated Sun#s pg 14)

[a2k]

Yeah these are legs that would be impressive in any era.  Had Frozen had a early-mid December opening, we might have seen something like a 40-45M OW and 425-450M total.  The Thanksgiving release makes it look more frontloaded than it is.

 

I don't think it would have a 425-450m total. Just because it had a 10-11 multiplier from pre-Christmas weekend does not mean it would have had the same multiplier had it opened then.

But that's the standard for your typical Western these days anyway so TLR as that would have provided nothing new or overly interesting. Verbinski should've gone The Full Rango.

Well yeah, but Verbinksi would've done it well. I wasn't a fan at all of the cannibal rabbits.

Just from skimming the conversation, I really need to see TLR. It sounds cracktastic.

Also, the only thing anyone seemed to be talking about in line to get in to the screening was Jesse Eisenberg. Everyone seemed to have an opinion, consensus seems to be that Eisenberg was not what people had in mind, but they can see how he can do well in the role. There was a good group discussion about the SuperBat movie in line actually. A lot of internet rumors were being repeated as fact like Josh Holloway  may be Aquaman and so on. After today's announcement, I think it is time to start discounting internet rumors about the Superman/Batman movie as no casting rumors have been true.

The big climax in TLR is seriously awesome. Like, when I was watching it I was just thinking, "this is like a completely different movie."

... But not in an interesting way. It just feels like a mediocre/bad would-be blockbuster a lot of the time, interspersed occasionally with a much better, more interesting movie.

If Josh Holloway is in any upcoming franchise tentpole, it might as well be Star Wars.

I always thought The Princess and the Frog opening in mid December was one of the big reasons it didn't make more money. Families that would have jumped at that movie with a Thanksgiving release ended up being distracted by Alvin and the Chipmunks 2 which was released in few weeks later. Alvin also ended up grossing more money. Disney learned a painful lesson that year.

 

So yeah I think mid December would have been bad for Frozen.

[Blankments]

How is that great news?

Because it helps my like count go up

Oh haha how did you do in it?  Imagine if there was a box office prediction portion on that exam... the curves would have to be crazy for people to pass.

[forg]

Looking good for Frozen!

 

Speaking of Alladin, I finally found a copy in video stores albeit a VCD copy but still good enough for me. I will show it to my 5-year old nephew

The title of the thread seems so wrong. It feels like

 

[MovieGuyKyle17]

That Awkward Moment when a film entering its 11th week could beat your movie.

I lived in the one place where you never guess TLR was a bomb

Anyway-slow weekend, but Groundhog's day is on Sunday, so it will repeat itself of course
