MrPink Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Sorry, but it is. Bought my BFI IMAX tickets for opening day well in advance, ignored the reviews and...was mightily disappointed. Liked it, don't get me wrong. It was a valiant effort, but...meh. We're done. See it 4 more times 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Marston Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 I don't see Mj1 having the legs of the first two 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainbowtrout Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 I know MJ1 got an A- Cinemascore, but the crowd I saw it with last night could not have been more ambivalent about it walking out. Nobody talked about it or seemed the least bit excited for Part 2. Very different from the crowds leaving DH1 and BD1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elessar Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Which is still damn weak and Katniss won t beat Groot and co anyway so. Hoping MJ2 rebounds from this next year. The revolution is over before it even started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfirebird2008 Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 There's something odd about MJ1's drop. It has had big increases OS...even the developed markets are looking at 5-10% increases. It was more popular at an earlier point in time in the U.S. than anywhere else in the world. Even other developed markets have been slow to catch on relative to the U.S. Nowhere to go but down in the domestic market and nowhere to go but up overseas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmandeep Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 I heard MJ1 is very bleak like the start of CF the entire film. The bleakness of CF in the start was good but having an entire film like that sounds tedious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Futurist Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 The revolution is over before it even started. THG audiences are the capitol. They loved the games and they loved the glitter and decadence of the Capitol. The revolution ? What s that ...Meh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lordmandeep Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 (edited) Yeah Revolutions are overhyped anyways. I think people forget the entire reason why THG blew up to the general audiences was the games and the novelty and the entire concept. CF was pretty much the Hunger Games all star edition. This film did not have that. Edited November 22, 2014 by Lordmandeep 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THAT is tedious and was the worst part of Catching Fire. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noctis Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 As much as I love DH1, I will honestly be disappointed if MJ1 doesn't top it on OW. CF had a 2.23 internal multiplier on OW. The same multiplier would give MJ1 an OW of $122.65m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmandeep Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 (edited) That is your opinion but I think without the games its a certainty CF would not have done well as it did as there be nothing as appealing to sell to the mainstream audiences as "the Hunger Games Again All Star Edition! Personally only reason why myself and a lot of my guy friends watched CF was to see the THG again. I think MJ1 lost a lot of that casual crowd this time.

Jawa Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 I don't see why anyone is surprised. Mockingjay SUCKS. It's one of the least satisfying books I've ever read, and an awful, awful ending to the trilogy. I was still predicting 350m or so, but it seems the rest of the audience hates it at much as I do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bleakness of CF in the start was good but having an entire film like that sounds tedious. DH1 was very bleak but only fell 6m from HBP. MJ1's bleakness just isn't as absorbing as CF.
