B J Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Tracking, especially from boxoffice.com gave indication for some pretty big numbers.not true, the tracking was good but nothing special, all sequels and re-releases get outstanding total awareness, check it in comparison to other re-releases over the last 12 months. The Opening Day is very good indeed, my comments stemmed from a general overall frustration with so called early estimates in general. I hava checked the patterns, a small 10% to 15% dip is likely, but I think the film could still bust out an increase anyway, it is Titanic after all, and I happen to be stupid like that.

Han Cobb Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 For which days? I don't think anyone had it opening that well on the Wednesday.Well, Boxoffice.com strikes again. They have a 35m 3-day and a 53m 5-day. That leaves 18m for Wed/Thur. But then they had a 72m 2nd weekend for THG. Shawn or Baumer, do you guys know who puts out these numbers for Boxoffice.com?

kayumanggi Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 It gets worse and worse for Titanic. Paramount wasted 200m on this movie and it might get to 75m domestic. Move over, John Carter, there's a new bomb in town.200 M? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Founder / Operator Shawn Robbins Posted April 5, 2012 Founder / Operator Share Posted April 5, 2012 Good thing. I respect you on here. You like a god..when you speak everybody submitsHah...thanks, but I'm just a mere mortal like everyone else. It gets worse and worse for Titanic. Paramount wasted 200m on this movie and it might get to 75m domestic. Move over, John Carter, there's a new bomb in town.Post of the day!Tracking, especially from boxoffice.com gave indication for some pretty big numbers.Hmm, yes and no. Yes, because our most recent Long Range Forecast pegged it at $43m opening weekend... so if it fails to come close to that, I could see the point. But no because that prediction didn't have anything to do with Wednesday or Thursday. Again...let's wait and see what happens on Friday. There are tens of reasons why Titanic would have opened where it did on Wednesday, and virtually none that it would have done significantly more.

Dale Cooper Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Good for Titanic. Decent for The Hunger Games. Looking like a 30m weekend, maybe a little more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elessar Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Yes, because there's only $4.7m and then there's huge, like $10m+, nothing in between. You silly people... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CloneWars Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 I never expected this to open big. It's target demo goes to the movies on weekends anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Accursed Arachnid!™ Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Honestly, most of the negative comments about Titanic's first day are what you probably would have heard in Dec 1997 when it pulled in 28.6m for its first weekend. The headlines that weekend concentrated more on the 200m budget than Titanic's money making prospects. If I've learned anything from analyzing box office for the past decade is to never attempt to project James Cameron's films from their early receipts. I'll wait until the weekend is over before making any judgments on the possibilities or probabilities of 100m+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceroll Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Neo's prediction in November: OD - 18MOW - 55MDOM - 215MOS - 540MWW - 755MI'll look for other high expectation predictions, this is definitely on the lower end of what was predicted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
