Weekend Actuals: Mockingjay - $121,897,634 (It Went SO Wrong!)

[Empire]

Me and Nebula/Karen Gillan are so getting married. Like, Im in love with blue redheads now thanks to her. Lawd.

Better hope your girlfriend doesn't find out you said that.

[The Futurist]

I honestly don't know how to answer to the What Went Wrong question. It is one hell of a mystery. 

 

Me too, it doesn 't make any sense and all the explanations I ve read didn't convince me, at all.

So, I take it it's pretty much time to go into a box office coma until Avengers 2 comes out?

[MovieMan89]

again there are many reasons why it won't hold as well as  CF. Making 40m more has nothing to do with how it will drop 

It has everything to do with how it won't drop over 60%. Unless some SM3 level WOM is incoming.

What went wrong?

The film was shit.

[Hatebox]

Meanwhile, Interstellar's overseas estimate increased by $1.6m and it's over $451m worldwide.

That # for MJ1 pretty much guarantees GOTG to win the year.

Furious 7 will be huge and might have a bigger OW than MJ1 just did.

Eh, I think that's a tall order...

Dunno about that, but I think JW will have a bigger OW than MJ1.

[Empire]

I think so too, but some on here have predicted a 125M OW.

[AJG]

Eh, I think that's a tall order...

Nah. I'm telling you, CGI Walker will get butts in seats.

I'd like think the Hobbit could pull it off but I see it tanking out around 305M

weak marketing

 

Plus the fact that the title actually includes the words "Part 1", thus implying that if you're stupid enough to pay money to go see this, you're not even going to get a full movie with a beginning, middle, and end.

Don't forget about The Hobbit.

[CloneWars]

but nothing went wrong

What the fuck! I'm sorry but a film that grossed $424M and then making less than $300M is seriously wrong. Even from a studios perspective that is fucking terrible beyond terrible. I mean this isn't John Carter bad, and yes this still makes a shit ton of money, but this is not reaching its full BO potential by any stretch of the imagination. Something seriously went wrong here.

Maybe it is. Flixster rating is already down to 79%. That's crazy considering how early in the release timeline it is and the fact that most of the people voting on it right now are big fans.

 

I enjoyed the movie a lot, but I can understand the complaints about lack of action and whatnot. It is a very dialogue-heavy movie and I could easily see a lot of people getting bored with it.

I would love for The Hobbit to do it, but it's highly unlikely. 300m should be the goal for The Hobbit.

Kitik's post was sarcastic and directed at me.

Although, if MJ1 can decrease 40m between installment OWs, who's to say Hobbit can't increase 20m on OW over installments? A 95m OW would indeed put it in the race for #1.
