spizzer Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Pretty strong for MJ1 and IS. Friday estimates have them on pace for 328/185 respectively, and typical holds over the weekend will adjust that to 329/186. MJ1 is definitely going to make a CF-esque slow run for #1 DOM.

filmlover Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Excellent expansions for Wild and The Imitation Game but Inherent Vice is screwed when it goes wide. It's apparently even much less mainstream-friendly than The Master was (and that movie was not at all mainstream-friendly). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frozen Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 MJ held up well against Exodus, which was its first real competition. Penguins was a kids cartoon and Bosses was an adult comedy. But Exodus was an action sci-fi type film, aimed at a similar audience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dingdong123 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Interesting how BH6's PTA is already higher than Penguins. Let's see how the holiday continues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aplandg, on 13 Dec 2014 - 11:42 AM, said: Damn! Only 300,000 less than CF on this day. I'm really starting to believe $340 is possible. Yeah, it sure looks like MJ1 will be able to challenge GOTG for #1 of the year. That said, two things to keep in mind: Just like Interstellar loses IMAX screen to Hobbit on Tuesday, Mockingjay will lose whatever other premium format screens it has to Hobbit also (though I suspect that Exodus already took most of them). Also, when comparing to Catching Fire last year, you have to remember that this was the opening day for Hobbit 2. Mockingjay gets a few more days before the big competition really hits. Just keep that in mind when comparing Day 22 of MJ to CF. And of course no Frozen to go up against either. It's easier competition for MJ all around compared to CF. We'll see, but the Christmas movies this year may not be quite as strong as the Christmas movies last year. Box office really needs either Annie or NATM3 to catch on big. Into the Woods will be big, but it won't be enough all by itself. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narniadis Posted December 13, 2014 Author Share Posted December 13, 2014 Great holds across the board. Love that hold for BH6 inparticular Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narniadis Posted December 13, 2014 Author Share Posted December 13, 2014 Makes me wonder since Exodus is acting like Day the Earth Stood Still if the rest of the December field will play out like 2008. Solid films but no big hits and the winter winner coming from a November literary adaption. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narniadis Posted December 13, 2014 Author Share Posted December 13, 2014 Which was followed by an amazing 2009 with lots of big movies and a huge December sci-fi hit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrPink Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Last IMAX viewing for IS for me starting in 5 minutes. Gotta see it again before it leaves theaters 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grim22 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Exodus majorly underperforming seems to have helped all holdovers. Hobbit 3 is the last chance this winter for a movie to be huge and exceed expectations. I don't think any Christmas releases will break out big.

DAJK Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 I'm kind of disappointed in Exodus' performance. I mean, no one really expected Noah numbers, but with a marketing campaign that relied heavily on CGI, and also Bale who is a huge name, this (coulda shoulda woulda) cracked 30M OW in theory. It would have been nice to see a hit that wasn't Comic Book, or literary adaptation, or Disney fairy tale. I'm not sure that its WOM is killing it; I doubt it would have done much better with stellar reviews on opening weekend. I think Fox should think about what it is with the marketing that didn't connect. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitik Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 I'm not sure that its WOM is killing it; I doubt it would have done much better with stellar reviews on opening weekend. I'll agree with this. If it would have been at a very good 88% on rottentomatoes, it might have had an opening day of 10-12M, but it still wouldn't have had an OW over 40M. That said, keep in mind that December is the month for good legs, not big OW's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJohn Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 If Exodus holds like Narnia 3 it can pass 100m I have seen the movie. I doubt that The drop next week against Hobbit 3, Museum 3 and Annie is gonna be brutal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zackzack Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Very bad for Ridley's next projects: Martian, Prometheus 2, Blade Runner 2. Fox may skimp on budget for Prometheus sequel. Martians already shooting Well, it will do more than Kingdom of Heaven but OS will save the day. After the unpleasant, unorthodox Noah, people, believers & non-believers, just stay away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Fox should think about what it is with the marketing that didn't connect. Who's only a draw when he's Batman or in Oscar projects/ensembles/shares billing with another big name. The only movies in the past decade that were sold as star vehicles for him (Harsh Times, Out of the Furnace) were big flops. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ando918 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Look for Wild to break out over the next month. Not only a 91% approval rating on RT and an Oscar nom. for Best Actress, but I was getting a haircut yesterday and noticed that Witherspoon is on the cover of Glamour Magazine, and one of the 3 or 4 faces on the cover of this month's People Magazine. Women love those magazines, so expect those cover photos to grab their attention. I can see Wild finishing in the 40s domestically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
