iceroll Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 I don't know why everyone's so glad about Alvin's low number. I'd rather have some movies do well to keep box office interesting than to have everything disappoint. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fake Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Yeah I don't know who Moriarty is and the marketing team has done a pretty bad job of convincing people like me why he's an interesting character that would make this movie worth seeing.You don't know who Moriarty is?

blackspider Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 This Winter sucks. I expected around 60m for SH2. Let's hope Ghost Protocol can break out when it goes wide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Marvel Fanboy Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Breaking out or flop, both can keep box office interesting to observe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cedarpoint1111 Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Umm wow..... 40s for SH?? I expected 65m to be quite honest.... what a disappointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spizzer Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 I think The Hobbit is the most under-estimated film next year, at least on a DOM level.+1As for this weekend, we're definitely seeing that the market hasn't that the market hasn't really improved at all from last year (if anything its gotten worse) and that the better summer was a result of there being 14 more films than the last summer, as there was a 2.6% increase in gross but a 8.5% increase in volume of films released. Barring Bridesmaids, Fast Five, The Help and a few other breakouts, this year was filled with underperformers. At this point, it doesn't bode well for 2012, though I really hope we see a recovery 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceroll Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 You don't know who Moriarty is? First time I heard about him was when he was announced as the villain in SH2. I dunno I just never read/saw and Sherlock Holmes related material before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gopher Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Alvin is fine. It's looking at 8-10m today, give it the same multiplier the original had in 2007 (with a better Sunday drop from snowstorms) and that's a 28m-34m weekend. Holidays will take it to 140m-160m- not what the last two did, but even without a sucky year for kidpics, it couldn't keep doing 200m forever. Sherlock 2 will have a Tron Legacy type of run and 500m+ worldwide. It's also fine. I want to know if that 4.1m MI4 figure includes the 1.1m from 9PM/midnight shows. Everything's still in place for a breakout movie. Will it be MI4 when it expands on Wednesday? Will it be Dragon Tattoo? War Horse? Tintin (probably/definitely not)?

AniNate Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 If there's a Sherlock Holmes threequel I really hope they find a new director. I'm certain Guy Ritchie is the reason behind the franchise's inability to expand beyond the audience of the first movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magic Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 At least OS box office is doing fine. Domestic has been a real let down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spizzer Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Alvin 1 opened to $44.3 million in 2007. Alvin 2 had a Wednesday opening in December 2009. Considering its 4 day was $60.4 million, Alvin 3's looking even more disappointing. Even if today is underestimated, and this somehow shoots over $35 million, this is still a massive drop. As has been said, this probably won't go too far past $160m, and I think there's potential for it to fall short not just of that, but $150m as well, if its opening drops to the high 20s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
druv10 Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 SH2 dissapoints while Alvin's number is okay considering the weak market for animation/kid's flick. Great start for Mission Impossible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travod Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Is there still no chance of a yearly chart that doesn't include domestic? AKA http://boxofficemojo.com/yearly/?view2=ytdcompare&view=releasedate&p=.htm but with OS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wboxoffice Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Meanwhile, 20th Century Fox toon "Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked" will likely rank second, with observers putting the family film's Friday take at around $10 million, putting it on course for a $30 million three-day gross. More reserved estimations, however, peg the pic's weekend take slightly lower. I just don't understand how from a 10 million friday it's expected to do 30 million or slightly lower. IMO friday will be its lowest day for the weekend. Parents & their kids will go see this movie on saturday and sunday, not friday night. You'll see!
