Mon or tues, maybe wed, outside chance on thursday, perhaps Friday, but almost assuredly on Saturday unless it happens Sunday. one of the reason I post those different articles about the same theme... they differ in their POVs and quality in different areas of writing such kind of articles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the latter, you're just over-estimating (either innocently or to snag the Sunday headlines). With fudging, you're actually reporting an actual that's technically inaccurate, and you play with the actual site over the next few days to cover. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

World Wide is the total amount of money the film has grossed, while "Domestic" is just a part of that number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I remember was you saying it had bad WOM after one day of numbers. You keep saying it's an easy sell, but go back and watch the trailer. There's really nothing there about someone being a self made success. You point to that being the reason for a good OD while I would argue it's because it's the new Jennifer Lawrence movie. I don't think WOM is great, but my viewing seemed to enjoy it. Yep, here in the US, the ads/trailers were pretty muddled and if anything, for a long time they seemed to be hiding the mop aspect, even though everyone knew it was about JLaw playing the Miracle Mop lady, yet they'd rather show her with a rifle or De Niro wisecracking. What? The best trailer I saw for it was from the UK, it seemed a lot more focused about a woman making a success for herself despite the odds. The US ads eventually got around to selling that angle but the advertising could have been a lot more focused. I would put its domestic OD down to JLaw/Home Shopping fans turning out (Joy Mangano did a lot of appearances/press for the film as well) than the fact that it was such an easy sell here. Star power can only do so much for the overall box office; ultimately people have to like what they see. The budget is high for the sort of movie it is, but without JLaw, maybe the studio doesn't want to make Joy at all and it never gets made. I definitely remember a sermon about Avatar trying to sway the unknowing masses away from Christianity. My mom (who pretty much only goes to the theaters for stuff like Courageous and War Room or "uplifting" racial moves) knew I'd seen Avatar and wanted to grill me about its religious content. She seemed somewhat placated to know it was set on another planet, presumably where they didn't have Bibles and wouldn't automatically be condemned to hell for not being Christian. I don't think the religious backlash will be as big of a problem for Avatar 2 as much of the world simply moving on from the story after so many years.

I was merely pointing out how impressive it was for Titanic to have been the #2 highest grossing DOM film for 19 years. Inflation plays a part of that impressiveness.

Hatebox Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 No problem with SW doing as well as it is, but I do think it's a shame we aren't privy to the number of tickets sold for any given movie. It would make analysis a bit more interesting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the rifle shot in the trailer really throwing me off and then when i saw the film being like 'why the HELL did they use that in the marketing?!'. completely agree.

MrFanaticGuy34 Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 For the first time, Titanic was beaten DOM-wise, and finally bumped down to 3rd place. Never seen any other movie do that, before. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
