Robertron Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Only $55m ?Wow, frontloaded much? That's horrible :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Futurist Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Nikki went from a 75 million weekend prediction to 55 in less than 12 hours ???Is that correct ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lab276 Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 It's not gonna be $55m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Futurist Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 (edited) 65 would be great, just in the middle of these two extreme predictions. Edited March 31, 2012 by The Futurist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthdevidem01 Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 $65 I'll be happy with, that was my prediction for this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Futurist Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Rude awakening for some US forumers today when they see these figures. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poseidon Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 (edited) Reading this thread with all its highs and downs was quite entertaining. Fanboys fighting "haters" (seems like it's enough to make a pessimistic prediction to be called one), Fanboys getting excited until Nikki reveals her not intended aprils fool joke (that came one day early) by lowering her friday estimates.It just shows, that fighting about numbers is just silly. In the end, they are numbers, facts, nothing to fight about and you can be right or wrong with your predictions. While all the fighting has without a doubt an entertaining side, it's just kind of annoying most of the time and i would rather have discussions about why a movie performs the way it does.Those numbers are incredible for "Hunger Games" should do another 65Mio over the weekend, beating the 2 other big releases combined."Titans" (as I predicted earlier in this thread went down from early estimates) disappoints, nothing to celebrate about that number."Mirror, Mirror" didn't follow my early predictions as it seems, but still manages to have a decent weekend above some very low predictions after the first trailer.

Magic Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Some of these predictions from variety and Nikki have been farcical over the past two weekends. Who knows what the estimate will be in the morning. I'm just waiting for BOM, period. There's no point participating in a farce where predictions are changing by several million every couple of hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJohn Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 55M 2nd weekend for THG?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakeOshea13 Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Yeah we have no clue what is going on...Nikki's friday estimate has risen from her very first estimate of $18M ( though no longer that lovely $24M ). Yet the weekend estimate has gone down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatebox Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 That 55m doesn't make sense given the supposed Friday number, but I'd say it's safe to rule out 70m + for the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakeOshea13 Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 I'd be very happy with 65M, 70+ always seemed far too unrealistic/optimistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MasterDodsen Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Just woke up people, what did I miss?*reads the previous 5 or so pages* :huh:I'm so confused. Its mathematically impossible for a 55M weekend on a 19.7M Friday. She must have accidentally hit the "5" instead of the "6" on her keyboard. Oh well, hopefully Ray over at BOM wakes up soon and has some sense into whats really going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BK007 Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Um, so 18 was a little disappointing, and then it went up to 21 which was great and then 24 which was superb and then back down to 19.5?At least I was asleep during all of this bullshit, but how is it possible you have a 1030 update at 24m which gets revised down bt nearly 5m?Only explanation, that we always knew anyway, Nikki is a fucking media cuntwhore bitch.

JakeOshea13 Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Maybe she just wanted to go for the two extremes :PUndercut everyone else's predictions initally so if the Friday was lower than expected she could boast, and then go stupidly high when she noticed everyone's predictions were rising, so she could look good if THG suprised.

pieman Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Not to say I told you so but I thought the Hunger Games was so obviously frontloaded. Something that appeals so strongly to the teenage girl crowd is bound to be frontloaded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakeOshea13 Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Well it wasn't a sure fire thing considering the OW skewed 54% over 25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
