Wednesday Box Office - (Asgard pg 17) R1 about 15, Sing 11, Ass 4.5, Pass 4.1, Moana 2.2

While I loathe the fact we are on the Jlaw train again, I think it goes without saying that her performance is what drove the first HG into overdrive. Otherwise it would have been Twilight all over again. Popular book series does not make 400m without a draw of some kind past OW. 

 

And as has been said before Joy made what it did because of her not in spite of her. The film probably wouldn't have made it past the script stage if she hadn't signed on. 

 

Now can we move on from this never ending debate?

Thinking,

1.7 + 9.3 (11 OD) + 9.75 (+5%) + 13.65 (+40%) + 8.9 (-35%) + 13.6 (+53%) = ~57 5-day for Sing

 

 

Sunday will be up closer to 100%

 

**edit** nvm looked at the wrong numbers lol upper 50% seems right then another 55% or so on Monday.

Anyone know how much he made?

Sing will jump more like 85-100% on Christmas Day.

Hopefully, but the Chipmunks movie in 2011 increased 58%.

I don't doubt what you are saying Lord Mandeep but do you have a link for that or anything? I don't remember reading anything about Alec Guinness making a pile of money off of Star Wars.

I heard it in that really good documentary about how star wars was made...which is a must watch.

Twilight made $3.3B WW off of 5 movies. THG made $2.9B WW off of 4 films. I don't believe Twilight is the best comparison for your point, to be honest especially because Twilight wasn't well-received and still managed to make money a ton of money at the BO. 

 

I would compare it more to the Divergent series or whatever those movies are called. Lackluster performances and terrible films did them in.

Family movies usually don't jump that big on Christmas Day. The day after Christmas on is when it's going to explode.

And with a 50% Monday factored in you are looking at 77-80m by end of Monday.

Yeah edited with Sat drop closer to 40 and Sun increase closer to 50

Thinking,

1.7 + 9.3 (11 OD) + 9.75 (+5%) + 13.65 (+40%) + 8.35 (-39%) + 12.6 (+51%) = ~55.5 5-day for Sing

Awards make you root against actors, directors or movies, that's part of the reason why I dislike them. Just try to read forums like IMDB Movie Awards board or Awardswatch.com forums. Those places are TOXIC. I've never seen so much hate towards anything, even political debates are much more friendly.

Dude let's talk apples to apples please. I was talking domestic box office which is what the conversation was about. Only way you can remotely compare with divergent is the final film. Hands down domestically HG beats Twilight and nearly does so in total box office in spite of having 1 film less.

Most Christmas family movie releases end with 3-3.5x off the 6 day opening, would put it on track for a 240-280M gross. Moana vs Sing should be close, Moana is on track for O/U 250M since basically day 3 when it started tracking closely to TS2, it won't see the ridiculous 18 days that Frozen saw which took it from 160M to 300M.

That were on a Thursday (heading into the weekend), though. Frozen increased only 32.9% on Christmas Day in 2013.

Different Christmas pattern based on where it falls.
