Wow! Mortdecai has made $7M DOM. I was sure that it woudn't clear $1M.

[grim22]

Wonder why Universal didn't estimate 84M and get the February OW record headlines. AS did that for the Super Bowl weekend.

[Frozen]

Why was their no weekend estimate given for the Hobbit? $253.2 was its Thursday number.

[Ethan Hunt]

At the end of December, it looked like it would beat DOS, but now it'll come down below it. BotFA deserved to be the highest-grossing out of the Hobbit movies IMO.

I love TBotFA but after some thought, I think Desolation of Smaug is the best of the three movies. The last 40 minutes of the movie are pure epic.

[Cochofles]

50SOG2 wont be as successful as the first one though. Only fans and maybe some valentine couples will go.

 

Hmmm, where have I heard that before? 

Oh, yeah! When NEW MOON was about to open...right before its opening weekend and its total destroyed Twilight's. Yep.

[Moviedweeb]

There seems to be so much negativity towards the "soft" opening of 50SOG.  

 

85 million over three days for an R rated s&M movie.  That's frikkin enormous.  If people here hadn't predicted crazy numbers then we'd all be stunned with the opening.

Yeah, this is still stunning regardless of expectation.

[James]

Yeah, so Jupiter Ascending was brilliant! Too short though.

[Cochofles]

And horny people. Don't forget horny people.

 That means that the entire adult population of the US will go see the film...

[Kalo]

DOS is my favorite by quite a wide margin.

Also, we got 2 trailers with JA in IMAX.

 

Mad Max - this got an unexpectedly good reaction.

Star Wars 7 - and I don't freakin care how much fanboys will throw shit at me, but it's the third time I see this trailer and it gets a meh reaction. My gf said it looks just bad and I heard laughter at the guy popping up in the begining among others and giggles at the "The dark side and the light" part.

 

Also, my theatre was packed (90% full) in the second weekend.

james your fifty name is so appropriate hmmm ...oops wrong thread lol

[Mojoguy]

Who cares? Hobbit 3 is pretty much done.

[Blankments]

Two issues: 

 

1. You're not from America, where Star Wars is utterly huge, correct?

2 (and this is much more important). The fact that you've seen it three times already in theaters is ridiculous. I guarantee you if I had got the Star Wars 7 teaser with Kingsman yesterday, my audience would've been cheering. No one I know has seen the Episode VII trailer in theaters; it's weird that your country seems to be overplaying it already.

It plays in front of every IMAX or 3D movie. I don't see every movie in theatres but I know from people it was also shown in front of Seventh Son and Taken.

And no, I'm not from the US, but the first time I saw it, with TH3 and said people reacted not well to it I got trashed because apparently people can't react bad to a SW trailer.

[Blankments]

Tbh, I don't see the point on arguing about Star Wars. When you hate a movie as iconic as that, no argument is going to sway your stance

 

I will say this though: I'll admit in my crowd reports, I sometimes will see what I want to see in the crowd's reactions. No problem with that

But you see, I dont watch people's faces to decide what they think. I actually hear things. And the effect is even more powerful when a few minutes back you hear good things about a well received trailer from the same crowd. 

[CoolioD1]

Ray Subers oughta be fired for his weak-ass headline game. seriously? on this weekend with the possibilities "grey makes green" is your best?

[RthDeadWov]

Empire 25 in NYC FSOG will end up being one of their biggest weekends probably ranked #12-14, The Sat figure only beaten by TDKR, TA,Skyfall.

 

In Australia Sydney George St cinemas (Empire equal and one biggest in world) FSOG weekend #9 biggest in last 15 years and Sat figure TA & TDKR ahead by only couple grand 

[#ED]

RTH, 50 looks to head to a 60% decline today?

[Empire]

Ray Subers oughta be fired for his weak-ass headline game. seriously? on this weekend with the possibilities "grey makes green" is your best?

Yeah, that is just lazy and uninspired.
