DAR Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 I guess it depends on the franchise, but anything that opens to 150+ will always be good in my book 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neo Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 The first did 20M only with midnights. But not much growth as CF and MJI did nearly exact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plain Old Tele Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 I'm really surprised -- not necessarily because LA didn't seem to track for that number, but other areas also seemed significantly down from CF. I guess even though sellouts were way down, the shows were full enough to basically come out even. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FilmBuff Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Holy shit that's huge!! Bigger than Avengers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyGossamer Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 (edited) Awesome start for MJP1. Well on it's way to $150M+ OW... Hoping it somehow manages $75M OD, including the $25.2M of course. Edited November 21, 2014 by JohnnyGossamer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K1stpierre Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Wow! Is this officially??? I don't want to get my hopeS up if it isn't. I was expecting a bit over HG like 22/23ish. This is off to a great start! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually bigger admissions than Catching Fire when you account for the lack of IMAX this time around. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

La Binoche Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Frozen didn't affect CF. Frozen originally appealed primarily to kids/families in its opening weeks. Frozen came out a few days after CF and grossed over $400m. Of course it had some effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is off to a great start! HG-19.74M, CF-25.25M, MJI-25.2M, down from CF, but up from HG. Edited November 21, 2014 by Neo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4815162342 Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Midnights are not the key. It is the Saturday and Weekend 2+3 holds. Makes sense midnights were not far off from CF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfirebird2008 Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Is anyone else reporting this number? Would like some verification of it. Tele makes good points. They had similar show counts and CF had a lot more sellouts plus IMAX. How could they possibly have come out identical? Maybe Lionsgate imitating Paramount's fudge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fancyarcher Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 (edited) Good numbers. 150m+ opening weekend seems possible. Edited November 21, 2014 by Pokearcher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAJK Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Wow! I am actually really surprised and happy with that number! I asked in the MockingJay thread if 25M was possible, but then started to doubt it as the night started. I tried avoiding all those meltdowns however Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see the point, as overall holds would significantly be worse and total as well. Legs would look horrible with any significant fudging on previews and on OW.

The Stingray Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 (edited) Great number! I'm hoping for the best, but I've also learnt my lesson about not putting too much stock into midnights. Edited November 21, 2014 by The Stingray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spizzer Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Didn't expect this number at all considering sellout reports, lack of buzz, and lack of IMAX (this might have actually pulled larger attendance than CF). Does anyone have a show/theater count breakdown for this and CF? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narniadis Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Provided these numbers are right then it's a fantastic number. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
