That's not what Ray said at all.

If they thought there was a chance for 270mish why not just say that? This indicates they think in the end it will likely only match DOS

Boxofficemojo says BOTFA will likely only just match DOS

Do you not know what "at least" means?

[Mattrek]

Imitation Game had a fantastic expansion, love it!

No, that's your interpretation of what he said.

Here's the direct quote: "The final installment in the Hobbit trilogy remains on track to at least match The Desolation of Smaug's $258 million, though $300 million now seems to be out of reach."

He's saying DOS' total is the floor, but AUJ's total is probably out of reach. So basically 260-290 or so. (I think it'll come in towards the bottom end of that projection).

I guess you should've said "Here you go Ecstasy, here's the link you asked for "

I didn't ask for a link to mojo. Edited December 28, 2014 by ECSTASY

I didn't ask for a link mojo.

But that's where the estimates are...?

[CJohn]

I am failing in seeing what is the problem with Coolio giving you a direct link to the estimates  

[BoxOfficeFangrl]

Oprah is the biggest female star on the planet, saying there's "only" Oprah as a star in Selma is like saying there's "only" Jennifer Lawrence in Hunger Games, that's a big freaking "only" that will get huge numbers of butts in seats.

 

And Oprah wasn't even in 12YAS, she was in The Butler, which made $116M without much awards traction, though to be fair, it also had less competition as a summer drama. As titles go, Selma is far less obscure for a movie about MLK leading marches in Selma, compared to The Imitation Game for the Alan Turing biopic, but I haven't seen too much complaining about that around these parts.

[Dementeleus]

They're also on page 14 (I just updated the title).

Literally the first time ever I wasn't trying to be a dick on this forum. Got called out for it. I'll just stick to what I'm good at I guess.

[ecstasy]

So why did you ask for the estimates?

I asked what page they were on.
