lab276 Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Top BO: #1 MOCKINGJAY ($123M) #2 BIG HERO 6 ($20M) #3 INTERSTELLAR ($15M) #4 D&D TO ($13.8M) #5 GONE GIRL ($2.8M) — Exhibitor Relations (@ERCboxoffice) November 23, 2014 <script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> It's when you look at it like this where the "it's still pretty big" comments grate for me. The top five made 174.6m, off 12% from last year. That's bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lordmandeep Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Has the OS numbers kind of reach its peak for this franchise or do you guys think there's still room to grow for potentially 1B for Part 2? 3D should happen. Unlike this year Bond will be big competition next year as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eXtacy Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Is that really a huge number OS, not much bigger than Catching Fire debut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAJK Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 A 62% drop is exactly what I predicted for DaDT. Not surprising, considering the cult fanbase came out last weekend. With a CF multiplier, MockingJay gets to 330 DOM. I think with a smaller OW, the demand could be less up front, and make up for mixed reviews. I think a multiplier similar to CF is in play, and a total of 330-340 is imminent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deep Wang Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 I'm not saying it doesn't belong in the same conversations but I'm saying those three films you just listed have MUCH greater factors working in their favor than this franchise EVER will. When you draw straight line comparisons (i.e. CF had the worst multiplier of the 4) between them it seems ridiculous to me because of course it was going to. The fact that it's even in the conversation when those films had so much more going for them is the feat. I honestly don't even remember what the whole point of this was. So I don't even know what to say to this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAR Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 So basically it's like a quarterback/forward throwing/scoring 25 touchdowns/goals in a season instead of 30. Still a good season just not as good 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmandeep Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 I think before writing off MJ1, should see how it holds over Thanksgiving. However unlike CF, the WOM won't really convince casual audiences to show up as before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfirebird2008 Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Not really. The only people who really cared about Paul Walker knew him from Fast and Furious - and I have a feeling Fast and Furious fans might be watching F7 either way People try to compare him to Heath Ledger but it's just not the same, Ledger was a diverse actor who was in the public spotlight. Plus, Ledger only died a few months before TDK, whereas Walker died 1.5 years before Furious 7. And Ledger gave arguably the greatest performance in any big budget movie. Walker hasn't shown anything in his career that makes me believe he's going to give us something like TDK's Joker. Ledger had already shown that talent in Brokeback Mountain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
straggler Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Disappointing opening, no way around that, but far from a flop. I don't think so. It is a Part 1. And the market has been saturated with the Hunger Games for three straight years. In three consecutive years after two $400 million grossing films some level of fatigue will set in, less so in OS's markets where the films were not such a big phenomenon. I think it will have a lengthy run and show the same staying power as the other films. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ajde Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Is that really a huge number OS, not much bigger than Catching Fire debut It is, given it hasn't opened in China, where CF grossed like $13milion during its debut weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
