kyky Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 (edited) Oh dear. All the indications had been that the $5.1M on Wednesday was in addition to the $1.6M from Tuesday, which would have been pretty good. But if the $5.1M actually includes the $1.6M from Tuesday, that's not so good.yeah i'm also confused. need to investigate.i think bom made an error tho. 5.1 doesn't include tuesday Edited December 22, 2011 by kyky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrestomanci Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 yeah i'm also confused. need to investigate. i think bom made an error tho. 5.1 doesn't include tuesday No, unfortunately it looks like the $5.1M does include the Tuesday previews, here's a blurb from boxoffice.com: Sony's The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo opened with $5.07 million. It should be noted that an estimated $1.6 million of that daily figure came from late evening and midnight screenings on Tuesday night. Given that preview grosses made up a sizable percentage of Wednesday's take, the anticipated David Fincher directed remake should fall behind Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows over the weekend (and very possibly behind Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked as well). Based on yesterday's performance, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo appears to be headed for a modest 3-day weekend gross in the neighborhood of $13 million to $14 million.

Chrestomanci Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 That is fucking horrible then.Kind of expected, we had our expectations too high.I guess so. I thought my expectations were pretty modest, though -- I was thinking 17 or 18 for the 3-day weekend and it doesn't look like it will even hit that.

CJohn Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 I think it will do something like that, but most were expecting more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLK Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Yeah. 5 million Wednesday(+Tuesday evening) is a disappointing number. This movie is unlikely to have a great WOM either because it has limited appeal outside the fanbase so I'll be surprised if it manages to do TSN numbers from here on.

Chrestomanci Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 (edited) I think it will do something like that, but most were expecting more.I doubt it can get that high from an opening day of $3.5M. Fun with Dick and Jane, a somewhat more Christmassy feeling movie, only managed $14.4M for the 3-day weekend from a $3.76M opening day. I'm also worried about frontloading due to the popularity of the books. Edited December 22, 2011 by Chrestomanci Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Founder / Operator Shawn Robbins Posted December 23, 2011 Founder / Operator Share Posted December 23, 2011 The epic jump is because they included Tuesday.I meant the 15% increase from $6m to $6.9m, but I can see where I should have elaborated on that.

Ariadne Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Excellent for MI4 - above expectations. Disastrous number for GWTDT - no wonder they moved the 1.6m from Tuesday and added it to Wednesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrestomanci Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 The epic jump is because they included Tuesday.Yes and no. The original estimates, at least from Nikki, were for $8M including Tuesday. The increase to $8.9M is still a big jump from that (over 10% overall and around 15% for the Wednesday portion) and has nothing to do with the inclusion of Tuesday.

TheMovieman Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Nice for MI4 and shame for Dragon Tattoo as a Fincher fan. Still will probably see it next week. As for Tin Tin, not surprising. For me, it kind of looked creepy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ariadne Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 GWTDT essentially opened 4th with 3.45m, which is behind SH2 on 4.28m and just behind Alvin 3 on 3.5m.Really really bad. Adding the 1.6m is just hiding the fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
