Eraserhead Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Saw the movie tonight finally. I liked it. Hopefully it beats Avatar's second weekend since it annoys me that Avatar edged out TDK for that record anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phillip Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 The Hunger Games (March 23): Based on Suzanne Collins's incredibly popular young adult book series, The Hunger Games aims to be the next Twilight, albeit with enough violence to have crossover appeal with young men. Distributor Lionsgate Entertainment actually already has sequel Catching Fire on the calendar for Nov. 22, 2013, though if the first entry tanks, the sequel can easily be cancelled. At this point, if The Hunger Games reaches the original Twilight's $192.8 millon it should be considered a massive success. Box Office Mojo at the start of the year... What a breakout hit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TLK Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 40 million Saturday will be an absolutely crazy number if it happens. I think it will end up with a haul in mid-30s if 24 million FRI is correct number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceroll Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Yeah a 20% drop from last Saturday seems inconceivable. I'm just hoping for above 30m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 I'd be more than happy with 70M for the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spizzer Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 (edited) I'd be more than happy with 70M for the weekend.70s locked unless Friday somehow falls below 20M. 80s what we're looking for now.IF that 24M number sticks, 85M is possible.

Hatebox Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Anything over 70m will be great for THG.Expected to poor numbers for the other two big openers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 (edited) I think it can still end up with around 75M-odd if estimates drop. Edited March 31, 2012 by Magic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B J Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 (edited) Will THG be #1 next weekend?yes, I think the film has transcended and is catching on with the general public in a big way (otherwise it would not have increased on thursday, and would not be estimated to have increased as much as 200% on friday). A sub 40% drop is very likely next wknd. Titanic and AP4 will be hard pressed in their attempt to dethrone the film.

spizzer Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Hard to make any projections right now with no real solid figure, but anything above 20M basically locks 70M. Anything above 21.5M locks 75M, and anything above 22.5M locks 80M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spizzer Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 (edited) Will THG be #1 next weekend?Yes, with around 45M. (Probably higher, depending on how this weekend turns out). Sub 40% drop seems likely, as this weekend may be sub 50% Edited March 31, 2012 by spizzer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krissykins Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Great for Hunger Games!Poor for Wrath, unsurprisingly. WOM on the first film sucked.Mirror Mirror did well, many up until this week assumed this would be one of the biggest bombs of the year. Should do well throughout the next 3 weeks.Roll on Cabin in the Woods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 If Noctis can manage to be be very happy for THG's performance (despite not liking it as much as some Potter films) every other Potter fan should be too lolI'm fucking ecstatic! This is mind-blowing for THG. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
