Noctis Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 i think about 140m. It had been 5 years since a potter film was released on a friday. When gof opened in 2005 (the last time a HP film had a fri release date) it was the fourth highest ow of all time. And HBP had a five day gross of 160m.....also twilight managed a 140m ow a year earlier. So the 125m ow for dh1 was very dissappointing This makes no sense. DH1's admissions were within 2% of all of the other Potter movies that opened Friday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noctis Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 I actually didn't see this dropping off much. And, truthfully, we'll have to wait until Sunday to see just how much it did drop from CF's OW. But, Twilight's Part 1 in the ballpark of all the other Twilight OW, aside from the initial film of course. And, Potter's Part 1, if it had 3D, likely would've been in the $145M+ range, which isn't terribly far off from DHP2's OW. Actually, that's not true. DH2 had a 5% surcharge from 3D on its OW. Meaning it would have done $150m-$152m on its OW without 3D, and it sold a FUCKLOAD of tickets on matinee. DH1, had it been in 3D, might have gotten $132m with 3D. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walt Disney Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 106M would be... If the OW turns out to be $106M, then GOTG might have a shot at winning the year domestically. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avatree Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 "If Mockingjay follows Catching Fire's pattern from here, it will end the weekend with $106 million. That would be a stunning drop; for now, let's assume that fans simply decided to wait to see the movie on Friday or Saturday. Even with that assumption, though, this late night debut essentially rules out a $150 million weekend." http://www.boxofficemojo.com/news/?id=3963&p=.htm I must be going crazy. Read the updated article several times and didn't see that paragraph... lol. (Obviously it won't drop that much since the Thursday night shows are just fans, whereas the whole weekend includes GA.) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfirebird2008 Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Variety @Variety 1m1 minute ago Lionsgate's shares have taken a tumble following #Mockingjay's opening http://on.variety.com/11KUtmq I think that pretty much sums up what a letdown that preview number is, especially after The Wrap trolled everyone with such a good number. Hopefully the rest of the weekend plays more like HG1 than HG2 so it can at least get into the 130's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noctis Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 How do you think the GA will receive this one after the OW diehard crowds die down? It's a tradition for me to watch THG with my sister and mother. My mother said she liked it enough, but that she felt that only once it hit the last 20 minutes did she feel that something was ACTUALLY happening. She loved THG, and really enjoyed CF.

K1stpierre Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 I took my mom to is too, and she didn't even see CF. for the most part she what was going on without being told. She said she liked it, but was surprised with the little action (shocked coming from her, who despised the whole people killing people game). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ando918 Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Looking at how the movie posters have changed for Hunger Games 1-3 is interesting. They started off showing off her feminine looking face/long hair and now have her way in the distance, where you can't tell how long her hair is and she appears to be wearing body armor like a soldier. A very gender neutral poster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redfirebird2008 Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Speaking of HG1 and HG2, they both grossed $132.75m on the weekend excluding preview money. Hard to imagine that happens again. But if it does, HG3 will make very close to $150m for the weekend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
