CaptainJackSparrow Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Thanksgiving really is the kiss of death for DWA, aside from HTTYD2 DWA has had an awful year and 2015 doesn't look it is going to improve for them, Agreed, really worried about their future. At least Penguins and Kung FU Panda 3 will do gangbusters overseas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Panda Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 I love this site. So many knew how good or bad a movie was going to do AFTER the first day's numbers come out. Hindsight bias in action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayhawk the Hutt Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Hope everyone is having a great thanksgiving (at least the Americans here)!! Good #'s for BH6 and IS. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted November 27, 2014 Author Share Posted November 27, 2014 Nah. I just hate Madagascar movies. And I hate how DW would rather make garbage, when they have potential to make great movies. Strange, I'm not sure what garbage you refer to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

water Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Antarctic wednesday: POM 400m, MJ1 260m, BH6 80m, HB2 50m, IS 45m (remember there's no thanksgiving in antarctica) ((all values in pebbles)) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aplandg Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 I loved Madagascar 3! Didn't care for the first two though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fake Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 MJ1 gross till now is pretty similar to DH1 and now its Wednesday gross is also similar. If it follows CF from here on, it will finish with 299.6m. So this time the fight is not for 400m, but for 300m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJG Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Another flop for Dreamflops Flopimation. I remember when DWA thought they could go to war against King Disney. That was cute... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babz06 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 (edited) I wanted 16 for MJ1! Oh well, hopefully we get some decent holds this weekend. And those numbers are pretty awful for Horrible Bosses 2 and Penguins. Those pebbles really must have a poor exchange rate. I wonder when the boxoffice will rebound... My guess is February when 50 Shades of Grey is released. I mean it could still rebound around X-mas but it doesnt look like 2014 is going to be a year to remember at any point. Im not expecting Hobbit 3 to explode and the family films will probably hurt each other. As for next year, 50 Shades can't save February by itself, it looks dire for the entire month. Jupiter Ascending, Seventh Son going against each other? LMAO Spongebob Squarepants? The first Spongebob adaption didnt do great. Then a Will Smith dramedy to end the month? Boring. I think March is when the box office will really start to pick up. Chappie, Cinderella, Insurgent, Get Hard all look like pretty big hits.

Late December-mid January seems like a rebound to me: Exodus Hobbit 3 Annie Into the Woods Unbroken Selma Taken 3 The Wedding Ringer American Sniper Night at the Museum 3 and The Interview should both do decent as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAJK Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Yeah happy thanksgiving to everyone is America! Too bad the #s aren't as good for the holiday. I'm really feeling bad for DreamWorks, and hope the numbers pick up over the weekend, and hiyo day legs carry Penguins to 125 domestic, and hopefully 370+ OS...

This whole year has had a number of movies that seemed solid on paper but ended up underperforming. I expected November to be much bigger. I predicted... Interstellar $240-$275 Mockingjay $375-$400 Horrible Bosses 2 $100-$125 Penguins of Madagascar $125-$150 Edited November 27, 2014 by Aplandg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitik Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Numbers will go down today for football games. Horrible 2 will be hit the hardest, while animated movies will hold the best. Last year kids movies dropped the most, while adult movies had the best holds on Thanksgiving. Please tell me why you expect the opposite to happen this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinHood26 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 how much did Penguins cost? They have there own TV show. Never expected the movie to do that much to begin with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
