baumer Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 And again, some of these posters are mods. And again, no they are not. Not the post I am referring to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cmasterclay Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 I post on a box office message board several times a day and I loved Catching Fire, yet somehow I still kinda forgot this was coming out this week until I checked Fandango yesterday. The buzz just isn't there. I know this sounds like revisionist history already, but last year, I knew a ton of people seeing CF at midnight, and I went with a big group. This year, nada. Not a peep from most people I know. It just seems like deflated hype, and I think it is entirely because it is a part one. Period. It completely and totally drained my anticipation for this movie, even after the great last one. I don't care to see it for at least a few days. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 its about expectations, look what the bad outcome of matrix reloaded did to revolutions. And look at what happened to DH2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfirebird2008 Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 (edited) Holy shit, so Tele and I were right in our suspicion? Did The Wrap just copy and paste CF's numbers from last year or something? Ridiculous. Edited November 21, 2014 by redfirebird2008 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K1stpierre Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 For all we know we could have FANTASTIC OD and SAT and SUN numbers!!! It's not over! PUNY COFFEE. GOOD. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Well in other news I got rejected from that job I was interviewing for, only took them 4 weeks to let me know. And then the next day my work asked me if I want to join a project where I would have to move to Singapore for a year. And I have until Monday to decide. So. Yeah. 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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyGossamer Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 So I guess the leaked JLaw pics/photos did damage the marketability of the franchise. I kid, I kid... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then the next day my work asked me if I want to join a project where I would have to move to Singapore for a year. And I have until Monday to decide. So. Yeah. 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? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Besides Potter, who else legit got a bump domestically from "finale factor?" 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
straggler Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 I'd be patient. Won't know until the end of thanksgiving weekend how this goes and overreacting to every bit of data is silly. This franchise behaves in its own way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that's a great opportunity but Singapore is pretty conservative and homophobic just FYI. You've probably done some research already though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hasanahmad Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 (edited) And look at what happened to DH2. DH2 was based off one of the best books in the series (top 3 in many lists of potter book rankings)..... This is based off the worst Edited November 21, 2014 by Hasan Ahmad 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 And look at what happened to DH2. ? DH1 had a good reception. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayhawk the Hutt Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Yeah it's what I thought, the curse of higher expectations. If THG and CF had opened to around this we would be saying it was a solid opening. If it "only" makes 125m that would still be great, with the #1 spot of the year still very much in play. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyGossamer Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 In other box office and on topic news, looks like TDKR will remain champ at 2D OW. 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grim22 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 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that anyone cares, but I'm staying out of this thread. The gloating, doom and gloom, meltdown, hyperbole, antagonism, trolling and just plain ignorance is really confounding at times.
