Really great for Unbroken and ITW

[rockNrollaDIM]

Hey when you're up against Stephen Huvane, you gotta do what you gotta do.

For the record I'm rooting for Aniston nod.

[paul75]

Just Imagine the crazy numbers By The Sea will make.

I'm not. I'm rooting for Queen Emily

So no one has claimed yet that they saw those numbers coming?

I saw those ITW numbers coming from miles away.

I saw those ITW numbers coming from miles away.

I didn't see it a few months ago, but starting the last month or so it seemed like it would be pretty successful. It has been Disnomination ever since Frozen after all. This year absolutely belongs to them at the B.O., especially with Frozen's 2014 holdover thrown in.

Is anyone other than Rth projecting these numbers ? I am asking this because Christmas matinees tend to be a lot stronger than the average holiday matinees so not all projections based on the matinee numbers are going to be accurate.

But rth adjusts for that tho. It's not like we don't have historical data that we can model movies after.

Just saw Into the Woods and I really liked it. Blunt was the best part, but Pine was hilarious & stole every scene he was in. Meryl and everyone else was good too.

Glad it is doing good business.

Go Dame and Unbroken. Hope to see it soon. It was sold out at my theater tonight and it had the biggest screen.

[rockNrollaDIM]

YAS empire slay a bit.

[dashrendar44]

Nope. We can't bring up same without mentioning the anistans.

"You Ladies are so petty and catty..."

Don't let Ando see you using that word

[eXtacy]

Good numbers if they hold

[kayumanggi]

So there's a new trend?

 

2006 saw an increase in ticket sales from 2005. Then both 2007 and 2008 saw declines. 2009 saw an increase again. Then both 2010 and 2011 decreased. 2012 increased a lot from 2011 but 2013's sales dropped and obviously 2014's will drop. So an increase for 2015? Isn't that obvious already? Ha ha.

Hoping for 11m+ for The Hobbit

[babz06]

How are the holdovers looking? Hobbit?

[La Binoche]

Is anyone other than Rth projecting these numbers ? I am asking this because Christmas matinees tend to be a lot stronger than the average holiday matinees so not all projections based on the matinee numbers are going to be accurate.

 

THR is also saying low to mid teens for Unbroken. 

[narniadis]

Those numbers make me happy and the rest of the holdovers should be good as well. The theater was soooooo busy today, probably the busiest I have seen it since Christmas 2012.

[AJG]

Nope. We can't bring up same without mentioning the anistans.

It's pretty much due to Jolie fans being insanely insecure.

One was the star in one of the best sitcoms in the history of television, the other was the star in the 1993 direct to VHS movie "Cyborg 2".

It's easy to understand why Jolie fans are so weak.
