Aplandg Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 I think It would be a great move OS, i really want MJ2 to make more than BD2 OS. I'm fairly confident it will regardless but I agree, it would be a very smart move. I wonder when we'll hear confirmation of a 3D China release for MJ1. Wonder how much that will help with penetration into China's box office market. MJ2 could look very cool in 3D. If there was ever a HG movie to be 3D, it's obviously MJ2! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Marston Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Except DOS had exactly the same constraints/issues. Even if it basically acts like DOS from here on out, it's gonna easily cruise past it. ok, what is the final total you see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elessar Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Why does it "look like it might struggle"? Just compare the numbers. It's got a 27m+ lead on DOS (more than comfortable to weather the slight gain DOS will get with its last remaining holidays), and its daily holds have generally been better. It will not struggle to beat DOS. About that lead, though... by end of next weekend it'll probably shrink to about $10m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mango Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 If Interstellar can make it to $190 million it will have a 4x multi. Damn fine legs if you ask me. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K1stpierre Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 I don't care how much money it could make, I never want any HG film to be in 3D. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mango Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 3D is awful nine times out of ten but the good thing is these days the majority seems to prefer 2D by a good bit so there always seems to be way more 2D showtimes than 3D. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrPink Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Needs to gross 5.8 times more than Thor 2 dailies the rest of the way to hit $200m. It grossed 5.75 times as much yesterday. Just have to see how it holds up with all the new releases in January, but it might come closer to $200m than you're expecting. It needs to make 2.7 times as much as Thor 2 dailies to reach $190m, which seems pretty likely to happen. That number is going to keep going down as the film grosses 5 times as much money over the next week. Interstellar has grossed 4.9 times more than Thor 2's dailies over the last 8 days (Friday to Friday). If that continues, it will reach $197m. That's close enough Paramount might actually find a way to Puerto Rico it to $200m. I don't think that will hold up once the holidays are over. Interstellar was fortunate enough to at least be in 1000 theaters throughout the holidays but once Taken 3 hits next week it will experience large theater drops and probably start to fade pretty quickly. I think Skyfall might be the better comparison down the stretch, and that grossed another 10 million or so past the New Year's weekend. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K1stpierre Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 You can always go see it in 2D....? Its not that, it's just the principle of the matter and really what THG series stands for. It would be hypocritical to make a 3D version of it. IMax felt the same to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The worst thing about trying to see the Hobbit is that it's fragmented between 2D, 3D, and 3D HFR, which made it rather difficult for me to see the film. There's only 4-5 2D showings a day, and even if I relent to see it in 3D, there's only 3 showings or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mockingjay Raphael Posted January 3, 2015 Author Share Posted January 3, 2015 3D would give to MJ2 a even more 'epic finale' status, imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the social and political messages of The Hunger Games but their main point is entertainment and artistry. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll see how it goes, but I think $190m is pretty close to being locked. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamKendall Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Maybe so. We'll see how it goes, but I think $190m is pretty close to being locked. Yeah, I was thinking 185 was being generous a couple weeks ago, but it's still plugging away at close to a million bucks the last two days and will do so again today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avatree Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 I say $362,090,399 DOM for Mockingjay. You are at least $1 off. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody's forcing you to watch it in those versions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah before that thanksgiving hold I was thinking even $175 million was a bit much to expect but since then it's been a legs machine. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
