RTH for the love of box office PLEEEEEEEAAAAASE GIVE US NUMBERS!

[BenedictL11]

Yesterday was dead.. Kind of expected.Today has already sold more tickets then last year. TH doing great, Les Mis is ok to decent, WIR is next doing ok to not great.$5 hobbit, $2 LM, $2 WIR currently from my sites numbers.Will refine later

Did you mean to say $2M for LM? If so, that's a decent number for Boxing day.

Did you mean to say $2M for LM? If so, that's a decent number for Boxing day.

No, no. $2 for Les Mis. It's going to sell 1/8 of a ticket.

[Fake]

No numbers?

[Robertron]

No numbers?

Of course not.Australia: Where bigger numbers = less reporting!

TH did about 55% of Avengers 2D admits here, but equalled its 3D admits. So roughly 80% of the attendance of TA opening day, but only lost in 2D, so it won't be as harsh a drop (if my site is to be believed).So I'm pegging a $4.5-$5m OD for it which is great!Les Mis did about the same as TH in 2D. So it will be around $2m.WiR should be pushed over $2 by 3D, less admits then Les Mis.Once again, my site may be way off

[Robertron]

RTH.....Hellooooo??

[Robertron]

Les Mis from the International Thread:Australia has had 3 days of previews, grossing $1.3M from limited sessions. The film opens officially today and early results indicate that it will be the biggest opening day ever for a musical, 45% bigger than the opening day of MAMMA MIA!; the biggest opening day for a Russell Crowe film and the biggest opening day for a Working Title production along with being Universal's 4th biggest opening day of all time.

[JJ-8]

[John Marston]

ah, finally a country that is supporting The Hobbit right from opening day!

[JJ-8]

3rd biggest opening day ever in australia behind only the Harry Potter which played for 24 hrs straight and had a crazy market penetration that day and of course the avengers which opened this year to 6m. (barely above the hobbit)we could be in for a very special weekend now given this...... remember fellowship managed nearly 10m after a 4m OD.

ah robert... we have some news....http://www.courierma...m-12265440092615.9m Opening day for The Hobbit!!!!!!!!! woohoo!

Thank you, Australia. Hopefully 50M+. :)

I was expecting more for LM.

[Omario]

Sweet. Some good news for Hobbit:)

[riczhang]

I was expecting more for LM.

Better than Mamma Mia, so that's good news for me.

[Olive]

50M for TH, 30M for LM, C'mon!

[JJ-8]

I haven't even gotten to see this in cinemas in australia yet (my $ so far went to the NZ takings ) that will change soon enough though

[JJ-8]

2012 has been insane here... if TH does indeed have good legs here and makes it to 50m. Given prior to 2012 we only had Avatar, Titanic, Harry Potter 8 and Shrek 2 make it past 50m here... Suddenly we have The Avengers, Skyfall is toying with the number and The hobbit has opened huge

[Olive]

Better than Mamma Mia, so that's good news for me.

MM made 29M+ from its entire run, hope LM will have better legs.
