Empire Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 I thought Lincoln Square showed it. Weird.It may have. However since it wasn't an IMAX release they probably didn't charge extra, so IMAX didn't help Sith's gross. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cedarpoint1111 Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 So are this box office disappointments a result of the box office actually disappointing? Or just us not using common sense and blowing predictions out of proportion? It is disappointing..... The first hunger games made more and it actually opened at midnight. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jandrew Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 After spending the last three weeks bitching about your schedule, I think you should go see the movie. Sarcasm, trying to join the early fun... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyGossamer Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Between the two looks realistic. I'm feelin 130. This IS more of a weekend movie than those franchises. I just never thought it would fall short of BDP1's OW, let alone DHP1's OW. Like last year, I'm sure it will stabilize. I'm thinking $135M+ OW for MJP1. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grim22 Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 I wasn't following BO back then. 125M was 23M over the previous series record. How much were people expecting it to do?! Order of the Phoenix and Half Blood Prince both opened on a Wednesday and made around 150M by Sunday. I would guess that was the number people were expecting.

filmlover Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 I wasn't following BO back then. 125M was 23M over the previous series record. How much were people expecting it to do?! The 5th and 6th Harry Potter had Wednesday openings, diluting the weekend demand. Obviously their openings would've been bigger than 4th had they been released on a Friday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redfirebird2008 Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 140 would be a very good weekend after that preview number. I'm curious to see how the holdovers do. They might have dodged a bit of a bullet compared to Catching Fire. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
