redfirebird2008 Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Oh damn, what did you rate it and your friends good buddy.. When you predict a domestic tally so low for a big even Nolan film.. I know you likely didnt feel your seeing the mans best work. :-O!!! Actually my prediction for the film's box office has nothing to do with what I personally thought of the movie. I've been predicting it would struggle at the domestic box office for well over a year. It's hard sci-fi. That's a tough sell no matter how good it might be. Personally I think it's one of Nolan's 3 or 4 best movies along with Memento, Prestige, and Inception. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TalismanRing Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Exhibitor Relations @ERCboxoffice 2m2 minutes ago INTERSTELLAR topped BIG HERO 6 on Monday--$5.2M vs. $5.1M. That is a great number for BH6! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plain Old Tele Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Predictions sir for IS vs Big hero 6 Domestically and OS Tele? What do you think and can Big Hero catch up or IS wins the domestic battle? BH6 will easily beat IS on both fronts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalel009Shel Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Mockinjay is winning the year by a country mile. As I said on the other thread Interstellar isn't a blockbuster film, shall not be compared to Prometheus or Gravity. Its opening rollout and its whole run is unique. It was meant be seen in IMAX and was focused heavily on that format. Now you can say that it's underachieving in conventional theatres somewhat, but it's keep doing great figures in its intended format. So which one do you judge the film's power then? If it keeps selling out in IMAx I think it's a proof that WoM is brilliant and it will drive the film to a healthy total. OS business guarantees that it's a box office success anyway and will make profit - for WB at least lol LOl lol Alfred at that last part. Yep WB proably spent the least right? lol Welll hopefully it rebounds OS nicely and yep going to see it in Imax.. And you know me Im a sucker for a have decent epic that can take your mind on a ride on those IMax screens. Did you see yours in those UK giant Screens my friend of 50-60+ feet or even bigger? I think you all have the Super Imax in London like NYs lincoln Square right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's got a $165m production budget, a huge marketing campaign, and A-list actors. Sure, Nolan was given some freedom with releasing the movie on film 2 days early, but that means nothing - it doesn't make the film "unique". How can you say "it was meant to be seen in IMAX" yet say "shall not be compared to Gravity"? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plain Old Tele Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Lining up comps for day-to-day comparisons (and adding in IS's film-only preview numbers), IS is currently $1,298,337 behind PROMETHEUS and $3,605,883 behind I, ROBOT. I'm open to adding other comps -- any suggestions? I picked these two because they're both science-fiction aimed at a slightly more adult demo, and both are in the range of IS's expected final gross, but obviously they're both summer films so the comparison isn't great. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Night movie... or perhaps early-ish Spielberg as well. Shouldn't SIGNS and CLOSE ENCOUNTERS be considered blockbuster efforts? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#ED Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 (edited) So BH6 should increase more than Interstellar today, but those Wednesday drops will be horrid. Edited November 11, 2014 by #ED 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goffe Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 hopefully IS will have a drop under 50% this weekend. 46-47% is my prediction 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TServo2049 Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 (edited) Mon-Tues is basically a two-day holiday (some schools/etc. observe Veteran's Day on Monday - my commute was lighter than usual yesterday, though not as light as today) so yeah, Wednesday will probably drop hard due to the holiday observance being stretched out over two adjacent days.

TalismanRing Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Wow, that is a huge bump from Rth's number for BH6. Veteran's Day effect or just great legs? Madagacar 2 (2008) had a softer than usual Mon pre Veteren's Day drop of -71.4% (and a 90%+ jump on Tues). In comparison it did $5,146,972 off a $63m opening w/e so BH6's drop is better. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalel009Shel Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Hobbit is the only one that could do it, but the chance of that is looking slim. At the start of the year, I predicted $1.15b for Hobbit but I'm not so sure now. It should do around $1b, but honestly, the idea of it doing $65m more than An Unexpected Journey, which was a return to the beloved Middle-earth without negative reception, is a little hard to believe. Still, if it has great WoM (and it helps that Desolation was well-received), then it could theoretically beat Transformers. It is the last Middle-earth film from Peter Jackson we'll ever see, after all; that's got to stand for something, right? Anyway, only The Hobbit has even the possibility of beating Transformers. Mockingjay doesn't stand a chance, even if the overseas audience has grown substantially. I think it's interesting that this year has had a significantly lower top end ($1.1b) than previous years (2013 = $1.3b, 2012 = $1.5b, 2011 = $1.3b), yet the bottom end of the Top 10 has increased (the year is guaranteed to end with less than 2 films below $700m, which has never happened before). Love your positive spirit Tree friend and yes indeed I would love PJ to go out with the bang of being king of the world, especially when frankly Transformers 4 is proving to be almost as bad as part 2 was.. I dont think this Transformers deserves the top law dawg crown. With a little help from us fans of PJ and LOTR..., we may yet score a victory. So TR4 is at 1.1B.. Hobbit needs a very strong domestic and powerful OS run to take the crown. It can be done. Im wondering if we may have some suprises left that could also do stellar box office. 2014 is Definitely one hell of a weak year for those of us looking to track incredible runs.. EEP!
