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

[kitik]

okay seriously, whetre the hell is the actual?

[CJohn]

Wow. If MJ1 opens to $120m, it will need at least a 2.5x multiplier just to hit $300m. Even that is going to be really difficult, IMO.

Pretty sure I said this on Friday and someone laughed...

Maybe a WWW MJ1 Dom thread kind of makes sense. WW, of course MJ1 is doing fine. A $100M decrease though is massively massive, especially when the previous installment was so well-received.

And Divergent is splitting part 3 into two part finale as well. Hopefully, The Maze Runner doesn't follow suit and just keep theirs as a trilogy ala the original Star Wars trilogy.

If Allegiant happens you can bet it will be one movie only.

An IS WWW thread was completely pointless. Even for AUJ.

It's almost evening on the East Coast, how the FUCK have they not released actuals yet?

This. I'm already thinking about heading out for dinner in an hour.

How about instead of calling the threads "what went wrong" just call the thread "why did it fall under everyone's expectations"

[redfirebird2008]

Wow that's a really dumb reason to not watch it

 

Not really. My favorite part of the first season was the acting by McConaughey and Harrelson. It was a one-off season anyway and that's how I'm treating it. Besides, I don't even have HBO. I watched a couple episodes at my parents' house during a visit and then ended up torrenting the rest of the episodes as the season went on. Not doing that this time around.

The Maze Runner finale is not going to be split.

Good to know.

What's up with NA having dinner so early? lol

Nah, it's only around 4 in the afternoon on the East Coast.

LionsGate not announcing numbers until Stock Market closes today

 

Yep. Good analysis.

[kitik]

It dropped more than expected domestically and it increased overseas. I'm saying it's not worth having a special WWW thread, not that we can't talk about it.

 

 

Didn't it only increase a small amount in some markets (like UK?)

 

I think you're making too many assumptions about it's final overall take.

LionsGate not announcing numbers until Stock Market closes today

 

 

omg, you're right!

LionsGate not announcing numbers until Stock Market closes today

 

This may be a good assumption. Lionsgate and Dreamworks movie performances are basically wedded to their stock prices since they are not as diversified as other studios.

WWW threads should be reserved for unexpected bombs - it's pretty dull to discuss mild disappointments.
