MovieMan89 Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 If MJ2 had the same holds as MJ1 from here out it would finish with 299m. But yeah, we know why that's unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad that ends next week. Could've probably hit 300 under normal circumstances. still on track to be the lowest grossing HG movie both domestically and worldwide. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Captain Obvious. Doesn't change the fact that its holds the first month have been the best of the holiday THG movies. That's ending next weekend, but we can assume without SW the movie would've retained the majority of MJ1's audience. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was expected by most to easily outgross MJ1. Overseas it is even worse since they added 3D and it will still fall below MJ1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrqe93 Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 (edited) Yay! #1 for four straight weekends for Hunger Games. I don't care for the movie though. Probably never gonna see it, but I liked this franchise enough (until Catching Fire) to want to see the franchise go out with a bang though it won't reach $300mil.

That doesn't mean we're forbidden to comment on it having better holds than normal for the franchise. It could've easily finished with 250m with that OW but that's not happening. So yes it is a small victory for it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"I'm not gay, dude!" Don't know if it's quite that homophobic steeped, but I do think a title like "Sexiest Man Alive" indicates they are probably not very relatable for the average guy. Hemsworth in particular. As I've argued, I think his looks hurt him not help him in the biz because 99% of us guys don't look like that so it's impossible to believe him in any "average guy" type of role. He has to be a superhero or something like that or it just doesn't work. It's the same reason Margot Robbie will probably never be a big lead, because good luck to her relating to the average woman. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAJK Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 So it turns out Star Wars is actually at the equivalent of 51.7M in presales at my theatre. Meanwhile, HOTS opened to the equivalent of 16.5M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

straggler Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 (edited) Hopefully MJ2 gets spillover box office. The Hunger Games is a unique franchise. It is a dystopian sci-fi tale initially about kids killing kids for entertainment. Movies like that are not supposed to make $400 million, and the Hunger Games did it twice. Then people made projections without realizing just how big $400 million is for this type of film and without really taking the content of the final book into account. Then it was split. And yet you still had two films essentially making $300 million plus, as opposed to one $400 million grossing film. I think its box ofice performance was realistic.

That would be nice, but I'm no longer banking on spillover for anything next weekend. People want to see SW and I don't think they have an alternative choice. I think it will be like the Spider-Man 3 weekend, when the OW record got smashed and everything else did horribly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
