Samson Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Most people figured it'd make half this for OW. That qualifies as "out of nowhere" in blockbuster OW terms. I bet the derby says otherwise! Let's just check...... Oh... Wait... Forgot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MovieMan89 Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 That's kind of like saying your dog isn't speaking that well and his accent is terrible.I would totally have liked this if I hadn't reached my limit for the day. Lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggestgeekever Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 THG isn't selling that many more tickets than DH2.This is getting very enjoyable to watch. Next up: The Dark Knight sold more tickets and had Mamma Mia on its back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldenfirefly Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 (edited) It wasn't just us. Lionsgate chose to open this in March. You don't do that if you aren't confident. If you knew you had a block buster on your hands you threw it in summer and let other movies get out of your way. . It's like how if you are a career tribute you stay and fight it out for the spoils but if you are Katniss you make fir the forest.

spizzer Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 (edited) Even if this drops 35% today (Sunday), the minimum finish I see is 390. Edited March 25, 2012 by spizzer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B J Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 THG isn't selling that many more tickets than DH2.DH sold less than 19m tickets, and the non-sequel will be the first non-sequel to ever sell over 20m tickets, 3D can suck my balls, its obvious which opening wknd is superior.

BoringOldAaron Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 By the way, I think I might have figured out how to speak Nikki. When she was posting Friday morning about the matinees being at $7,800 or $9,800 per screen, and then later $12,000, I think what she was trying to say was that the way THG was performing had it on a pace to reach those figures, as a per-theater (not per-screen) number by the end of Friday [ignoring the Thursday midnights]. But then again, it may mean something totally different. In just two days I've learned that Nikki's mind is a dangerous place to try to navigate.

Fake Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 DH2 OW breakdownIMAX - $15.2M - 1.01M ticketsNon-IMAX 3D - $57.6M - 5.69M tickets2D - $96.4M - 12.85 ticketsTotal - 19.55M ticketsTHG OW breakdown (best case scenario)IMAX - $16M - 1.05M tickets2D - $142M - 18.65M ticketsTotal 19.7M ticketsSo it will narrowly beat DH2, and might as well come below that.

spizzer Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 THG isn't selling that many more tickets than DH2.Probably around 1 million more. That's not a lot to you? I don't understand why you've been so negative with this. I thought you were a fan of the franchise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fake Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Fake, seriously?! Come on, you're better than this.I'm just making the facts clear.I know that THG's opening is much much more impressive than DH2's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samson Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Tickets sold will forever be a useless stat. Also, never even close to accurate.Studios don't pay the bills with tickets sold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOM reported 72.8M 3D figure and 15.2M IMAX figure. 72.8M is 43% of 169.1M. I'd assume a similar percentage for IMAX screenings. You can't just subtract 15.2M from 72.8M for the non-IMAX 3D share.And your ticket prices are all wrong. 3D tickets in 2011 were an average of 10.85 (non-IMAX) and 2D were 7.60 (non-IMAX)http://consumerist.c...ket-prices.html Edited March 25, 2012 by spizzer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are the studios' opinion of Darling Nikki? We have a love/hate relationship with her here. Mostly love on my part though. I think she's out Queen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
