filmnerdjamie Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 ROTS BD2 if you go by its total, not just domestic. And you have no idea what the Friday is at this point. You have no idea what the weekend is or what the multiplier will be. I'd argue against Revenge of the Sith since it still failed to trump Phantom Menace. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceroll Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 somewhere in the Lionsgate marketing department is a person whose sole job is to say the word “wider” once a year. pic.twitter.com/x5MFVWPp1N — david ehrlich (@davidehrlich) November 21, 2014 <script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> I really wish they'd went with the blue theme for Mockingjay though: All these posters just blend in and you couldn't tell which is for which movie. The blue would have made it more distinct and appealing IMO. Another marketing miss :/ 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dementeleus Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 I'd argue against Revenge of the Sith since it still failed to trump Phantom Menace. But still, it was a significant jump over AOTC... 80m without the benefit of format changes or wildly different theater counts is impressive no matter how you slice it. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empire Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 I'd argue against Revenge of the Sith since it still failed to trump Phantom Menace.It still had a finale bump since it increased from AOTC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockNrollaDIM Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Oh But Singapore might be nice. Heard it's the safest country on earth, even though privacy might not be so valued as in the US. But I'd like to go there. I think you should do it. How often would any of us get the opportunity to go abroad for a year and get paid to do it? Well that's a great opportunity but Singapore is pretty conservative and homophobic just FYI. You've probably done some research already though. There's certainly alot of plusses and minuses. It would be great for my career and resume (this is a huge responsbility), lucrative financially, cool life experience etc. But I already did an international assignment last year, and that was only 5 months and I was getting homesick towards the end, when you do something like that it feels like you're putting your real life on pause the whole time. A year is a very long time and I don't think I want to commit to that. I want to do something different and this would certainly be different but I think the easier solution and one that will make me more happy is to just to find a new job. Side bar, is Singapore really that homophobic? I didn't know that. It sounds like some kind of expat paradise from what I've heard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZappBrannigan Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 I feel like this is deja vu all over again. I remember the same freakouts for Catching Fire's OD, but this is happening even earlier with the preview numbers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Yup. Thinking MJP2 has a fair shot at next year... DH2 rebounded very well from DH1's somewhat underwhelming OW... Of course, it was a great OW, but the expectations were very, very high then. I wasn't following BO back then. 125M was 23M over the previous series record. How much were people expecting it to do?!

redfirebird2008 Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 The Wrap one is real too, the headline: ‘Hunger Games: Mockingjay’ Takes Flight With $25.2 Million at Thursday Box Office http://www.thewrap.com/hunger-games-mockingjay-takes-flight-with-25-2-million-at-thursday-box-office/ They took down the link. hahaha 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redfirebird2008 Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Still want to know where they got 25m from.... Were they just guessing? They put the same estimate as Catching Fire. It is possible someone at The Wrap heard from a studio source "pretty much the same as Catching Fire" and ran with it instead of actually confirming the real number. It's also possible someone at The Wrap decided to copy and paste as a good troll. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clones added IMAX late in its run and it added another 8.5 mill to the total. http://boxofficemojo.com/movies/?page=releases&id=starwars2.htm 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
