Chrestomanci Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 'Dragon Tattoo' kicks off holiday B.O. Sony pic takes in $1.6 mil on Tuesday Kick-starting a packed Christmas frame, Sony's "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" earned $1.6 million from late-night Tuesday screenings, starting at 7 p.m. "Dragon Tattoo" will play today at a total 2,914 locations - not all of which screened the film Tuesday night. Paramount also boosted ticket sales, with "Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol" earning a total $3.7 million on Tuesday, of which $2 million came from evening and late-night show times. The film's existing large-format locations (at 425) contributed $1.7 million throughout the day; pic had approximately 2,400 additional theaters last night. "Ghost Protocol" and "Dragon Tattoo" are expected to jockey for first place this weekend, with projected six-day domestic bows at around the $40 million mark. "Dragon Tattoo," which received an A CinemaScore from Stateside auds, also launches this weekend in Scandinavia, including Sweden, where the film is set and has scored rave reviews from local critics. Sweden's largest evening newspaper, Aftonbladet, described "Dragon Tattoo" as "a hell of a ride - crazy, nasty and sexier than the Swedish original," while the country's largest pubcaster, Swedish Television, compared it to the original, calling the remake "a much better, much tighter thriller. Hollywood wins." Prior to its release, some B.O. pundits questioned whether Sony's "Tattoo" adaptation would play internationally, as the first film became a major B.O. hit overseas, grossing more than $93 million outside the U.S. Up next for Sony's "Tattoo" are the U.K. and Russia, set to bow the pic over the next two weeks. I wonder which six days they mean, Tuesday through Sunday or Wednesday through Monday (which most people have off due to Christmas Day falling on a Sunday).

Chrestomanci Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 (edited) I'm curious how many theatres played Tattoo. According to boxoffice.com, it was ~2600 theaters. Edited December 21, 2011 by Chrestomanci Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrestomanci Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 (edited) so tattoo did $1.6 from late night while MI4 did $2 from evening+late night hmmm not that good for MI4. thanks Chrestomanci No problem. But no matter how the article phrased it, TGWTDT's shows were also evening + late night -- they started at 7 PM. And when you add in that the fans who seek out these early showings are generally those who want to see the movie in question as soon as humanly possible and that those fans for MI4 already had the chance to see it over the weekend . . . I don't think those numbers reflect unfavorably on MI4 at all. Edited December 21, 2011 by Chrestomanci Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MovieGuyKyle16 Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 at my local theater, while walking down the hallway to the theater showing Dragon Tattoo, I passed two theaters playing Mission Impossible (showings were at 7:30 & 8:10) I checked both theaters just curious to see how many people were in them. 8 people in the 7:30 showing, 5 people in the 8:10 showing.

Ariadne Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 I didn't realise MI4 was expanding Tuesday night! I thought it was Wednesday - not good for Survivor purposes. But I think 3.7m is excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
