miketheavenger Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Special message from Katniss to Marvel headquarters : Katniss surprises again and triumphs agaisnt all odds by getting the domestic crown on the finish line. Good. It means there s still a hunger for the Mockingjay. Let s hope her fairwell will be glorious like 450m dom glorious and 900m ww. I think even 400m dom would be pretty darn good for MJ2 after MJ1's still huge drop from CF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mockingjay Raphael Posted January 4, 2015 Author Share Posted January 4, 2015 I thought she did good! Meryl and Emily Blunt also did great. I was mostly impressed with the women of the film. But the guys weren't bad either. Great to know! I'm gonna see this movie only to see her Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Futurist Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 (edited) Mockingjay 2 likely won't reach 400m Save for posterity. As a I said in the Mockingjay Part I thread, the particularity of the Hunger Games franchise is that all 3 first episodes were predicted wrong by the consensus. THe consensus now is that MJ2 won't rebound enough to reach 400m again because MJ1 fell so hard. Can you see a pattern emerging here ?

K1stpierre Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 MJ2 is really up in the air. It could have that "finale" factor and go out with the biggest OW and possibly surpass CF DOM. or Due to the drop to MJ1, it could go higher but not as high as some think. Perhaps maybe people are over THG? Maybe after Pt. 1 not being actiony, people might wait to see MJ2. (then again legs would prove otherwise). I think as long as MJ2 hit's 380M, I'll live. I'll hope for that 400M though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aplandg Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 I feel confident it will end up over $400m. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Marston Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 380m seems a likely number for MJ2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frozen Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Someone should start a MJ2 over or under $400 million club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Futurist Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 MJ2 wil be the biggest movie of the quadrilogy by far scale wise when you know the events that are occuring. The trailers will have money shots which Part 1 hadn't very much. Basically Lionsgate tried to sell MJ1 as an epic finale which will be in fact MJ2. And if Katniss hadn't suffered enough, it will be the most tragic film of the 4 ( because of ) even though the 3 first ones were not exactly picnic for her either.

K1stpierre Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 I want to hope it will be the biggest, I just also hope that the huge drop for MJ1 wasn't due to people losing interest in the series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Marston Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Like I said, the consensus was wrong for the first 3 films. Let s see if this trend continues for the finale. No. MJ1 still fell under a large amount of expectations regardless of where it finishes so the finale isn't locked for over 400m like many thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Futurist Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 I want to hope it will be the biggest, I just also hope that the huge drop for MJ1 wasn't due to people losing interest in the series. Anything is possible, MJ1 had no games. The thing is I think, in hindsight, that doing 340m-ish with what MJ1 is as a film, a claustrophobic( most of the movie happens underground), grey ( rumble is not sexy), slow, not pretty, political movie with a completely distraught heroine who tries her best to fullfill her destiny, I find it remarkable. MJ1 is not a polite movie, it s just a dark and brooding film without the "fun" of huge action set pieces to counterbalance the desperate tone of the movie. I mean one of the key scene of the movie is the rebels comitting a mass suicide, terrorist attack against a dam, singing Katniss ' The Hanging Tree song as a desperate chant , that s not a kind of scene you see often in a 300m + grosser ... What I am trying to say is that, if MJ1 existed outside of the HG franchise, people would be surprised that such a film did the business it did. There is no doubt that the exictement of the first two films came from the games themselves, in fact both films marketing campaigns stopped at the end of the countdown of the beginning of the games. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLK Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 (edited) MJ1 may have lost 10 million admissions from the previous film. I don't think MJ2 will be able to gain them back. I am pretty sure that once you adjust for 3D HP8 gained no more than 6-7 million admissions over HP7. If MJ2 follows HP8 then it should make around $400 million.

Plus, DH1 seems to have been received much better than MJ1, and MJ2 is still the second half of a shit book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MovieMan89 Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 MJ1 had no marketing (worth a damn), is a part 1, and was an extremely unorthodox blockbuster that outright lacked any action. Yet it's having the best legs of the franchise. That alone tells me the interest is not gone at all, and the franchise will be back in full swing for MJ2 next year. There will be marketing this time. There will be action to market. There will be a final factor. And most of all there will be goodwill from three movies in a row that have been very well received by the GA. 400 is absolutely happening. Above or below CF is the real question. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
