MovieMan89 Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 (edited) The sad part is this year looked like it could be really promising at the box office when LEGO and Ride Along broke out way beyond the Jan/Feb movie norms. Too bad those will end up two of the most impressive box office runs of the year. Even March and April were going pretty well. Fucking TASM2. That stink bomb cursed the whole rest of the year.

jacquelinejane Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 That's because you don't live in the US. A movie ticket costs as much as 2 months of a netflix subscription and concessions are ridiculous prices and no reserved seating means you need to get to the theater early. For a family of 4 it is not just about money, but convenience starts playing a huge part. Dude, if you think going to the cinemas in America is expensive then don't EVER come to Australia. Student tickets are $16.50, adults $20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fake Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 If MJ1 follows CF from now on, it will finish with 332.6m. If MJ1 follows DH1 from now on, it will finish with 308.1m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disney will probably find some BS way to get GOTG ahead again if MJ beats it by just 1-2m. Edited November 23, 2014 by MovieMan89 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitik Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 3D for Mockingjay 2? Would it really help that much domestically, though? The cost of converting to 3D is usually covered by ticket prices, isn't it? It sure doesn't seem to hurt. Here's the big problem though: November (Details) • Bond 24 (Sony) - 11/6 • The Peanuts Movie (Fox) - 11/6 • Friday the 13th (2015) (Par.) - 11/13 • The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2 (LGF) - 11/20 • The Good Dinosaur (BV) - 11/25 • The Martian (Fox) - 11/25 • Midnight Special (WB) - 11/25 • Seth Rogen/Joseph Gordon-Levitt X-Mas Movie (Sony) - 11/25 December (Details) • Krampus (Uni.) - 12/4 • The Nest (Uni.) - 12/18 • Star Wars: The Force Awakens (BV) - 12/18 • Kung Fu Panda 3 (Fox) - 12/23 • Dirty Grandpa (tentative title) (LGF) - 12/25 • Joy (Fox) - 12/25 • Mission Impossible 5 (Par.) - 12/25 • The Revenant (Fox) - 12/25 Next November and December are much more crowded than this year's. That's just about the strongest 2 months of movies you'll ever see. Bond is certain to be bigger than Interstellar, and while Peanuts may not put up BH6 numbers, Bond should be more than able to make up the difference. Good Dinosaur should be a lot bigger than Penguins. And then Star Wars, MI5, and KFP3 will easily be bigger than whatever the top 3 of this December turn out to be. For very obvious logical reasons, over the past year people have been predicting that HG4 would increase over HG3. But when you look at that schedule, there simply might not be room for a huge increase. The heavy hitters crammed into those 2 months could probably just about cover an entire regular 4-month summer season. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I said earlier this one really should not have been a two parter. I mean yes they make more money either way, but it's just going to look so underwhelming if both of the last two movie only do around 330m compared to the first two. And all it takes is Bond continuing off from Skyfall's momentum (which I don't think it will but is possible) and that could totally upstage it in November. It may not even be the #1 November movie now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CloneWars Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 (edited) I really don't see Bond following in Skyfall's steps. That was an anamolly. I'm thinking around $250M which is still fantastic for a Bond film. Edited November 23, 2014 by CloneWars 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitik Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Exodus over 400 million! Exodus seems like the type of movie that might not have a huge opening, but may have really good legs over Christmas break. Disney will probably find some BS way to get GOTG ahead again if MJ beats it by just 1-2m. That seems like a strange suggestion, based on how little Disney seemed to care earlier this year when WB was doing their best to keep fudging Lego Movie ahead of CATWS. Disney doesn't care about records, they've always got another behemoth right around the corner. They're usually one of the more accurate estimators every Sunday morning. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm inclined to agree, but even still it would be stupid to assume that as fact. It could very well have at least a huge opening after Skyfall's success. It's coming first too and has the only two weeks of the season without huge competitors, so it doesn't have the market fatigue to worry about.

We are talking about disney not paramount: btw they don't even do efforts to fudge ther number, they just leave it at 99M so they won't. I can see liongate do that tought. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miketheavenger Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 MJ1 continues to underperform. IMO it's quite likely now that GOTG will win the year, which would be one of the biggest upsets of this decade. Pretty good for IS as well. Another sub-50% drop gives it a real chance at $175m. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
