Christmas Numbers: Unbroken 15.59, ITW 15.1, BOFTA 13.1, NATM 7.35 (official estimates) | full BOM list on p22

[The Futurist]

So Unbroken will end up one of the top-grossing female directed pics ever, huh? Like, top 1-2? Only other one I can think of is Catherine Hardwicke directing the first Twilight. Although there is someone else... I can't remember.

Frozen was co directed by a woman, Jennifer Lee.

It will definitely be one of the worst movies ever

While I'm not on the 100m OW for Fifty Shades yet, I do think The Passion of the Christ's 84m February record is going down.

Wait what about Kung Fun Panda? Didn't that do 200+ and that was female directed

[John Marston]

looks like Jai Courtney is a draw.

The power of Jai compels you! 

 

He's actually pretty good in the movie, albeit in a small role.

hobbit 3 won't increase as much as Rotk on boxing day.

Rotk was a phenomenon in Canada

KFP2 was directed by Jennifer Yuh Nelson but the first film had male directors

Oh... I didn't know that. How did the second do?

Speaking of shades, sign ups to my club are ending soon. I'll go bump it.

[rockNrollaDIM]

Yeah, I knew there was a couple of animated films in there. All considered Jolie could still end up in the top 5.

[Noctis]

That's a really great number for MJ1. $2.65m is a much bigger number than what I thought it could do.

 

I really want it to top GoTG.

That's not the reason ROTK increased 37% on this Friday. It's because Christmas Day was comparatively weaker.

[Plain Old Tele]

Noctis, this isn't the thread for that.

Hobbit has actually been having better drops and increases than ROTK this week so it could possibly continue to do so. It is easier to increase from lower numbers

[rockNrollaDIM]

What kinda movie is she making Noctis! Seems heavy.

Imagine if it has magical Legs and AMPAS bite. She will be in full meltdown mode and it'll be a glorious sight.

That's what i'm saying. Christmas Day is much bigger compared to other days during BOFA's run relative to what was the case with ROTK.

 

Also, BOFA having better drops / increases is not true for every day. Sunday and Monday come to mind.
