Spectre doing 200m was a pipedream after OW, it was the second weekend hold which gave some hope...now it looks to fall behind M:I-5...

 

We were fooled by the fact it had a better 2nd weekend old than Skyfall.

 

But Skyfall had BD part 2 opening in its 2nd WE: that's the difference.

Not to keep piling on, but it's almost unfathomable how in only 3 and a half years it could go from its first movie doing $150m ow to its 4th and final movie only doing $100m...are there any other examples of this?? Same series in such a short time having such a fall off?  

 

Hobbit, which also suffered from "one book split into multiple parts"

It seems to be having quite a big drop from MJ1 here as well (only difference is that MJ1 was by far the biggest of the franchise here). The addition of 3D is killing the number of tickets sold. People are rejecting it completely in the format.

Wow. I had a feeling mj2 would open a lot lower than the previous installments. Just too many empty theaters too close to OW. Theaters that had heavy pre sold shows had few tickets sold. 105m is still a ridiculous number but disappointing for the finale.

Expect a reboot soon. The Hunger Games: The New Crop or something like that. Heavy emphasis on a fresh new cast and a return to the games....

With a difference. Hobbit dropped from first to second part, and third one was able to keep the attendance. MJ2 can drop another $50-60m from MJ1, when it had already dropped $90m from CF.

JJ Abrams did this, he slayed THG franchise and Craig's Bond tenure

That's true, I was referring to OW, which FTF was talking about - Hobbit 3 had a $20m OW dropoff from 2.

BOFA had a Wednesday release, burning off demand for 2 days. Not the same situation.

If Fantastic Beasts is successful I wouldn't be surprised if Lionsgate asked Suzanne Collins to write side adventures in Panem.

Sorry, wrong thread.

I don't think Universal cares.

I saw it in 3d. Worst 3D experience I've had in years.

So this is JJ's fault?

Not exactly either. BOFA opened on Wednesday and DOS on Friday.

I am not surprised. These 3D conversions for OS markets only are always shit. Noah, Maze Runner 2, Fast 7 and others were also super crap in 3D. But at least those were not in 3D in Portugal. They decided to go for the 3D for MJ2. A big mistake.

[Fullbuster]

Did you see that? In Russia MJ2 should lose 50% or more in dollars compared to MJ1, for a movie that just got 15m there last year MJ1 was not big and already under CF but a 50% decrease over MJ1 would make Russia the market where THG declined most.
