baumer Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 That's still not bad. I think under a 65% drop is pretty damned good considering a $152m OW. We'll just have to see what happens now. I was expecting it to END where it is right now, so anything more it makes is fine by me. :)Everyone keep their perspectives on what the film actually IS before you freak out.Actually, it's not that great. It's actually a pretty big drop. If 62% is good, then what is bad to you? 70%? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ACCA Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Wow, it actually went below 60M, even lower than I was expecting. It's quite clear now that the OW was a total exception, an anomaly. That is a steep drop for a film with supposedly "good" WOM. It's quite clear this is mostly a fan-driven film, and not much else. This is really reminding me a lot of New Moon. New Moon had a shocking OW, followed by some pretty bad legs. Hunger's legs are not as bad, but it is behaving similarly (huge OW, and now we are seeing big drops).Bad debut for Wrath, this film is going to struggle. Only overseas might save it. Now we move on to a rather dull April, and wait until May for the big films to start their debuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dale Cooper Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 A pretty big drop for THG. Doesn't seem like it will pass DHII now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fake Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 A pretty big drop for THG. Doesn't seem like it will pass DHII now.There was little chance of that after the OW actuals.It just took most people here a week longer to realize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cozmeesah Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Actually, it's not that great. It's actually a pretty big drop. If 62% is good, then what is bad to you? 70%?Considering people are comparing it to Twilight and Potter, and that is a drop better than those, I'd say it's not bad. Is it great compared to other non-similar films? No. But did any reasonable person actually expect it to be?How is it that people say 60% is good, but add 1.6% and all of a sudden it's bad? I don't get that. When it's off of a $30m OW sure, but an extra 1.6% off of a $152m OW? Okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gopher Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 That's as big a drop as Twilight had...It's still a hugely impressive run, but considering it doesn't have summer weekdays, it best pick up the pace or its multiplier will be ugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddevil18 Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 And when I think about the people talking 500 million total after the OW... :rolleyes:That's why I've decided to mostly steer clear of the huge releases, because the craziness is just too big and will draw you in unwillingly...

Fake Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 And I think BJ should stop with his "low-end" and "high-end" "and "Friday/Saturday/Sunday jumps based on historical data" predictions. Those in the Friday thread look embarrassingly funny now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dav Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Did anyone honestly believe this was going to pass 400M? I wish Sean would unlock that HG over TDKR thread. That was gold.This is acting like any big built in franchise would. Massive OW, big drop, then it'll settle from here on out. 350M looks like a nice target.

baumer Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 We were talking 75-80 mill on saturday morning :DGood timesYou can ask Noctis this too...when he first told me the 24 mill number for Friday and a projected 75 mill for the weekend, I told him I didn't believe the 24 mill number. There was no precedent for a film on its second friday to jump 200%. Look at it now. lol....it's still a massive success way more than I ever thought it would do for its total, but it is not going to behave any differently than any other loonie driven film. It will drop 50% this weekend as well. Look for it to do about 29 mill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
