Hypothetical Box Office Runs

[mahnamahna]

This game is about predicting a perfect box office run in terms of ticket sales, hype and quality working on all cylinders -

 

For this first one, I'll do Frozen (which obviously has performed like a monster but hypothetically it could have soared even higher)

 

[*]11/22-11/24: $3 million (platform release) - 9th place  [*]11/29-12/1: $74 million/$108 million 5 day ($112 million) - 2nd place [*]12/6-12/8: $40.5 million ($163 million) - 1st place [*]12/13-12/15: $33 million ($204 million) - 2nd place [*]12/20-12/22: $28.5 million ($243 million) - 3rd place (Anchorman 2 should have hypothetically opened with $35-40 million over its first weekend) [*]12/27-12/29: $41 million ($326 million) - 1st place [*]1/3-1/5: $27.5 million ($392 million) - 1st place [*]1/10-1/12: $23 million ($423 million) - 2nd place  [*]1/17-1/19: $17.5 million/$24 million ($452 million) - 3rd place (Nut Job should have done $15 million over the 4 day)  [*]1/24-1/26: $14 million ($469 million) - 2nd place [*]1/31-2/2: $16.5 million ($492 million) - 1st place (the Sing-A-Long hypothetically should have caused an increase)  [*]2/7-2/9: $12 million ($508 million) - 3rd place [*]2/14-2/16: $13.5 million/$18 million ($530 million) - 4th place [*]2/21-2/23: $10 million ($542 million) - 4th place [*]2/28-3/2: $9 million ($555 million) - 4th place [*]3/7-3/9: $9.5 million ($568 million) - 6th place [*]3/14-3/16: $8 million ($579 million) - 5th place [*]3/21-3/23: $6 million ($588 million) - 6th place [*]3/28-3/30: $5.5 million ($597 million) - 7th place [*]4/4-4/6: $5 million ($605 million) - 5th place [*]4/11-4/13: $3 million ($610 million) - 8th place [*]4/18-4/20: $3.5 million ($615 million) - 8th place [*]4/25-4/27: $2.5 million ($618 million) - 9th place  [*]5/2-5/4: $2 million ($620 million) - 10th place

 

Add in $10-15 million after the dollar theater runs dwindle down in August-September... 

 

Frozetar has a near-perfect: 

 

$74 million opening weekend

$636 million DOM total 

8.54x

So ... predict for movies like you're Neo?

[Hiccup]

Frozen did its max potential. 636M is way too much

[Asyulus]

Frozen number is too high

[Blankments]

Fifty Shades of Grey:

Week 2: 63M (232M)

Week 3: 27M (281M)

Week 4: 16.5M (305M)

Week 5: 10.5M (320M)

Week 6: 5.5M (331M)

Week 7: 2.5M (335M)

Week 8: 1M (337M)
