Moviefanatic Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Go Hunger Games! I'm hoping for at least 40 million for today and an OW bigger than TDK. Catching Fire opens in November next year I think. The opening for that movie is going to be HUGE!!!Starting to think a 200OW for TDKR is possible. I was thinking 175 OW but that may be to low.Also don't think The Avengers will top The Hunger Games OW. Not anymore at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommycruise Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 As long as it doesn't open higher than TDK I'm happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Needle Nose Ned Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 No way was Lionsgate going to put out a projection that had it beating TDK. THG has not performed like any March movie so I don't think it should still be modeled after March movies with an Alice 30% drop. TDK is going down.

FTF Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 And holy cow, they really need to work on the servers or whatever for this site before TA and the rest of the summer movies hit, cause these SQL errors are rampant this weekend, especially today. I don't want to be starring at that SQL error late July instead of TDKR OD/OW # that's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatebox Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Interestingly (or not) this hasn't opened especially big internationally. Be interested to see how big the inevitable WOM makes it, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJohn Posted March 25, 2012 Author Share Posted March 25, 2012 The forums are really sloooooooooooooooow...It was expected to not have the same big openings OS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riczhang Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 The Sunday sellouts, and sales seem to disagree with the 30% projected drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakeOshea13 Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Yeah It was never going to be big over here (initally). The marketing was pretty small and the books only recently became popular in the last couple of months. It would have worked better to have a gradual international release (like with Twilight) So the news could travel over to here, but with the packed schedule I guess it wasn't possible. I think it will have good legs OS though as people go in the coming weeks to see what the fuss is about.Catching Fire will be huge overseas though.

Biggestgeekever Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 I'm having a really hard time with the SQL errors today, so I'm not able to catch up with this thread. I just want to say, I really hope there's no hindsight bias getting thrown around to diminish Hunger Games opening. This is one of the most remarkable achievements I've ever witnessed, right up with Avatar's run and The Dark Knight's incredible first week.

Needle Nose Ned Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Just scrolled the Hollywood Arclight which allows you to pick your seat so you can see the sold tickets. They have 23 screenings today. As of 10am:4 between 10:15 and 12:30: Currently about 40% full.5 between 1 and 3:45: 70%8 between 4:45 and 8:40: 80%6 after 9: 10%Obviously these are presales and there will be walkups. Pretty amazing given the number of screens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stunning for a movie that most expected to make around half of that on its opening to explode the way it did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackspider Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 I just scrolled through some New York theaters on Fandango. IMAX is extremely popular. IMAX showings are selling out like 2-3 hours in advance. I've seen some sellouts in regular showings as well. This is not a typical Sunday performer.

iceroll Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 The audience breakdown for Hunger Games is 61% female/39% male and 56% over 25/44% under 25. Really good breakdown. Shows how 4 quad this movie is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For crying out loud, the movie wasn't a "typical" Friday or Saturday performer either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like this thing isn't falling 30% like its projected to. That's what I'm getting at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
