iceroll Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Why were the weekdays so big compare to the weekend this week? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fake Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 There's no way it drops almost 100m, not even Harry Potter came close to that. You've been unfairly harsh on this movie since the beginning and it's biting you in the ass. HP2 dropped 18% from HP1.... CF if it drops the same amount will do around 310-315M business. And excuse me, nothing is biting me in the ass. I predicted 369M after the OW, and it will turn out to be one of the most closest predictions, when all is said and done. What were you expecting, 500M? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceroll Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 I had around 420m, then dropped it to a hopeful 400m after the weekend actuals. But real prediction skills comes from predicting how well a movie does before its release. I predicted this in the main thread 2 weeks before it opeened: iceroll - 133/360/275/635 CEDAR didn't get your prediction down in that thread but I think you had it at around 200m and was pessimistic and unwilling to accept the signs that it was going to do massive business.

'But real prediction skills comes from predicting how well a movie does well before its release'. What were you predicting 3 months ago?

iceroll Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 I don't even know and it would be too hard to find it. Jumping on the bandwagon after people repeatedly telling you it's too low is different from predicting something to do well, when I made that prediction only 2 or 3 other people had it over 350m.

I don't do that. I only changed my predict after the first sellout reports came in, which were bigger than BD1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cedarpoint1111 Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 So anyway..... CF will easily double THG OS. I can see a drop happening domestically, but still no less then 350m. I can also see a small increase, but nothing too crazy like BB -> TDK. We will just have to wait and see! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heretic Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 CF will likely double in most European markets compared to THG. The UK should do at least $50m, Germnay at least $30m, France at least $20m.Russia will probably see an increase to for over $20m, and Australia will likely do over $40m. All other markets should increase too quite significantly.400m could happen. Maybe more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudolf Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Sequels will likely increase as they always do, but there is no book phenomenon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinocchio Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Yes, the books are just huge in the USA and nowhere else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 They're very popular in english speaking countries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinocchio Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 One million books sold within the UK doesn't qualify as "huge" for me. Very popular, yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 That has probably massively increased now. But yes, I wouldn't call it huge. The second movie should be on par, or even eclipse New Moon in the UK at the BO though. Same from Australia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goffe Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 I really hope CF goes postal OS. This perforemnce is so annoying. What is going on?

CJohn Posted April 16, 2012 Author Share Posted April 16, 2012 They were not very popular, fishnets, but they started to sell like crazy after the release of the 1st movie. At least that is what is happening over here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
