MovieMan89 Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 (edited) The time will come when 2014 will look like a pretty decent year. Then the DOM theater industry is straight up fucked if that's the case. We'll all be confined to home movie watching by 2024. Or flying to China to watch our blockbusters the right way...

John Marston Posted December 19, 2014 Author Share Posted December 19, 2014 Anchorman 2 jumped 70.6% though after only a 35% drop from Wednesday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grim22 Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 A- Cinemascore. Same as DOS, AUJ had an A (how it got that I don't know). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MovieMan89 Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 (edited) ^^^ Because it's so far and away the best of the trilogy it hurts. I really don't understand the Wednesday move for this in the first place though. It was perfectly fine in its original Friday date. Especially since the first two were Friday openers. The trilogy wasn't like the LOTR movies with their Wed openings. Edited December 19, 2014 by MovieMan89 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
picores Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 (edited) Well, the number is awful but expected given the huge previews. The weekend is gonna be the key. I'm expecting something like: WED: 24.4 THU: 9.8 FRI: 14.7 (+50%) SAT: 19.1 (+30%) SUN: 16.2 (-15%) 50.0 3-day 84.2 5-day I think 250m is not out of the question yet as competition looks softer than last year and the final factor could give it more repeat viewings.

Elessar Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 I was right on the money... TTT dropped -37% on Thursday if we exclude midnights and ROTK -36%, pretty similar percentages. If BOFA follows suit it would do a $8.5m Thursday. Considering previews were already starting on Tuesday this time, it may take away some of the frontloadness for Wednesday but a Thursday around $10m wouldn't surprise me at all. Let's hope Friday increases will be a lot better... Yeah... let's hope for a good Friday increase... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 I said this would be a struggle to hit 200 mill and it really might be. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elessar Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Weekend will be probably around $45m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plain Old Tele Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 A- I don't think this number is particularly bad, given the OD. In fact, it held better than ROTK. B- Even assuming the Friday jump is only around the same as the LOTR movies, it's still well on pace for 240 or so. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fancyarcher Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 (edited) I don't think that's a bad drop, it's decent but not amazing. I still think BOTFA will end up around 230. Edited December 19, 2014 by Saintarcher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keysersoze123 Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 I think friday increase will be better than ROTK. I think 50-60% could happen. I am finding it hard to believe it wont even gross 50M 3-day OW. I am thinking 16m friday and 52M 3-day and 86M 5-day. It should finish between 225-250m. Nothing great but close to DOS. On the other hand if it grosses sub 45m it will look at TASM2 level domestic which would be horrible for the franchise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessie Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 (edited) The signs were there right from the start that this would drop from DOS. I'm actually baffled that people are shocked Edited December 19, 2014 by jessie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noctis Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 I said this would be a struggle to hit 200 mill and it really might be. Unless it does below $45m this weekend, it'll definitely pass $200m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm actually baffled that people are shocked The odds for it dropping a bit from DOS, increasing a bit or doing the same were... well, the same. Could have gone either way. I believe not many are shocked if the former turns out to be the case, just disappointed (if one wants it to do well, that is).

I believe not many are shocked if the former turns out to be the case, just disappointed (if one wants it to do well, that is). There's very little chance of it passing DoS at this point. It would need an enormous Friday increase (80%+) to give it a chance. But it's almost guaranteed it won't do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree, sequels haven't been magically increasing much lately, unless they are good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
