Shit, for the kind of film this is thats great. I know the budget is 60, but this was never going to make much more than 100, no matter the budget. It was a really tough sell, that got mild reviews and a crowded market. No other actress could have gotten the film to half that in a similar situation. Did people really expect a story about the Miracle Mop to put up American Hustle numbers!? Um yes. Check the Joy thread. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, what more could you ask for in a movie about rampaging dinosaurs running amok with more carange than in previous JURASSIC PARK movies???

ecstasy Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 (edited) Rth probably had a hot date on NYE and was wildin' out. He may not even bothered to crunch box office numbers. Edited January 2, 2016 by ecstasy 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BATMOOSEMIKE Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Despite this movie's mind-blowingly huge boxoffice, everyone still thinks its disappointing lol. Still, it would be amazing if it could get a 100M 3rd weekend and end up with 1B domestic. Although for some reason, this movie keeps missing out on milestones by a tiny little bit. At this rate it'll have a 99.7M weekend and a 999M domestic final. By the way, I heard some people say that some studios "fudge" or falsify numbers, but how do they do that? Subtract money from later in the run of the same movie? Subtract money from another one of their own movies? Or just pretend the movie made more money than it actually did? Like where does the extra money added come from. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tokila Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 (edited) From being a here a short time I have concluded that Rth either has a really large sample (and thus has alot of connections). Or he is freaking amazing a extrapolating a smaller sample that he has access to. You just aren't that accurate without one of the 2 being true.

MovieMan89 Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Great for TFA. Hopefully Rth will give update later with like a 36 number and a chance at 100 for the weekend. Daddy's Home is gonna soar past 150 now. That's kind of a terrible hold for Joy considering the weekend and all the other holds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like where does the extra money added come from. They'll just "borrow" from the next day or next few days. The studios monitor each other, and everyone has access to the same numbers, so if a studio tries to do it too dramatically, the other studios can cry foul (or, more likely, they'll leak some of their more accurate numbers to Deadline or Variety and expose the fudging).

I'm being serious, he does not have sources that give him estimates, he has access to the real-time raw data and extrapolates from that, same as the other sources that give estimates to Deadline or Variety. Plus he's been doing this for quite awhile, and really knows what he's doing. Why, you might even think he could make a career doing this. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be able to narrow the range considerably. Yep, after school goes back in session over the weekdays this week, and a non-holdiay weekend next weekend, we should have a decent idea of TFA's finishing range by next Sunday. Enjoy this weekend folks, it might be the last weekend that the $1B dream is still fully alive. Though my guess is that 1B will still be realistic next Sunday. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did people really expect a story about the Miracle Mop to put up American Hustle numbers!? The problem is that you're thinking about the plot in its most simple form. This movie wasn't sold as being about the Miracle Mop, it was sold as being about a woman down on her luck with financial and family problems who manages to pull herself out of those problems and becomes a success, made even better by it being a true story. This is a very easy sell, particularly since its key demographic is the one receiving the least attention during the holidays. The fact is that the movie had a good OD, exactly what you'd expect and it seemed like it was on track to easily do over 100M, maybe even do more than American Hustle. It's just that the movie has had weak legs, something that was noticeable on its second day when it had an usually steep drop.
