PK is awesome, would highly recommend watching it to anyone looking for a good movie as well as an intro to Bollywood movies.

Great concept and very well executed, it will definitely have good legs for a Bollywood movie in the US.

Ray Subers (BOM) is now saying likely 280m+ DOM for Hobbit. Thats definitely a bold statement

 

I don't know whether it will go that high. But it will do a lot better than most people here think or did think till its weekend performance became apparent. Most predictions/projections were thrown off course by its Wednesday release impact. 

[kowhite]

Why the great legs?

Satan.

[picores]

Last year Anchorman 2 had a 3.17 multiplier from his 5-day OW on this same weekend. If estimates holds, that would put Hobbit 3 at 287m. If we take Anchorman 2 OW alone the multiplier is 4.77 which means 267m. Not apples to apples, but....

 

To outgross Desolation 259m looks very very likely.

I was expecting a little bit bigger thread for The Hobbit. 25 pages for a weekend thread Pre-Christmas is a little sad.

Ended up as a solid 5 day for BotFA. Thank god those weekend increases were big cause I was in panic mode with the Thursday drop. Will be the third biggest 2014 grosser DOM. Not that that's saying much, but at least it shouldn't decrease from the last.

Ouch at Gone Girl though. That huge theater loss really hurt it. Sub 40% drops for 3 months straight to a 60%+ one. Hopefully it gets a re-expansion for Oscar season since I think it can still keep going for awhile with a solid theater count.

Guess expectations were low or anticipated so it was a thread full of surprises by members if it did really well.

Its been out for a long time now.

I think it's because John Huston had some hallucination that he was the new Vincent Minelli. 

 

The only great American film musicals in the last three decades have been animated.  Other than that only handful are even good.

 

Sad since this used to be a genre at which Hollywood once excelled.

High School Musical 2 says "hello".

[Wrath]

Aladdin and South Park are tough competition.

It's been out for a long time now.

Not long enough.

 

The dollar theater here in Laredo only has three showtimes, and it's problematic because they're not accessible to ass AT ALL.

 

Been trying to force family and friends to go, but can't seem to find the right time.

Ouch?  Really?  It's run its course.  

[Leyla]

so with the release of Annie I guess I have an excuse to spam some  Rose

Rose Byrne is stunning.  I can't get enough of her.  I first noticed her in Knowing.

2 was my least favourite of the 3.

The Interview drama stole its thunder among the forumers here

[Jessie]

It doesn't define shit, lol.

Completely eclipsed by so many films this year. Interstellar, Dragon, 22JS, DoFP, and CA2.

 

Dragon 2 was a melodramatic bore, no wonder it did poorly. 22js was funny, DOFP was meh, had a couple of good scenes but totally forgettable and CA2 was pretty good 2, either way they are all completely different to GOTG so why are you comparing?

 

The critics know it, the audience know it and deep down inside you know GOTG is awesome.

 

p.s its better than those stupid potter movies , that's right, I went there

Well, GotG was cinematic trash so your point fails It's probably the worst Marvel movie since the last Hulk and that says a lot. It's bad even on a comedy level, so... TH on the other hand. And HP. One word: EPICNESS.
