pinocchio Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 (edited) If it really breaks out domestic it will make worldwide news. They push the brand name Hunger Games worldwide, it seems. Even in France their website is:http://www.thehungergames.fr/So, if they have good news they will sell it fast and aggressive which will help the B.O.Okay, since this flick opens in most major OS markets before it opens domestic an amazing B.O. from the USA won't have a very big impact. Guess I was wrong there. Edited March 19, 2012 by pinocchio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lab276 Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 I'm really interested to see how it performs in Japan, when the Battle Royale comparisons become relevant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinocchio Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Maybe my 250 mio OS prediction was too optimistic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJohn Posted March 19, 2012 Author Share Posted March 19, 2012 I still say this won't go much higher than 200M OS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fake Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 I am going to bump my OS predict to 300M, because it looks like it will do at least 250M domestically, and it is statistically impossible nowadays for a fantasy movie to have more than 50% share from domestic.

lab276 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 (edited) Why??Too similar to Battle Royale. I don't think it'll do all that badly there though, at least $30m. Edited March 21, 2012 by lab276 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayumanggi Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 THG opens today here at 8:00 PM in some cinemas and 11:59 PM in others. Can't watch today. Need to work. #disappointed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fake Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Paris,14H:2485 admissionsTwilight:3281 admissionsGross should be around the same, maybe a little lower. But it may have better legs.Some pretty interesting days ahead as far as THG's OS gross is concerned.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJohn Posted March 21, 2012 Author Share Posted March 21, 2012 I have already said before: this is not as popular as Twilight (yes, the 1st Twilight, not Twilight today) OS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceroll Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Paris,14H:2485 admissionsTwilight:3281 admissionsDoes that 14H mean the day's not done yet? Was the number for Twilight also 14H? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ball Lightning Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Saw it last night and pretty much everyone loved it (with the usual nitpicking of course!).Already lots of pre-sales down here and i'll report back how its OD does here once I work tonight.btw we have 3/10 screens playing it, which is the same as BD1 and half of DH2's screens.
