Friday numbers (page 12) THG 12.7-12.9, AR 9.3, Titanic 7.1

[baumer]

What happened to those 150-200 million predictions for Titanic?

We were all caught up in the power of James.

The Lion King 3D was just a different situation and nobody really expected it to be that big. I admit I'm bit disappointed with Titanic 3D's number but well since Beauty and the Beast and Star Wars didn't do that well, I already had low expectations.

Looks like Good Friday is only treating THG well by those #s. AR is doing okay, at least it's not pulling a Scream 4. And what is up with Titanic? It just can't catch a break. With how TPM and Titanic have opened, it just makes The Lion King just look straight up monstrous.

[baumer]

I just figured everyone would be interested in it because I am.

True dat buddy.

Lion King 3D was for me the biggest box office surprise of 2011.

In some ways it shouldn't be surprising TLK and BatB would do better than TPM and Titanic. I mean before 3D re-releases were around, historically it was the animated re-releases that always did the best, aside from the special edition Star Wars re-issues. I guess families like to see those on the big screen. Let's see how Nemo does in September.

thats better, AR posting some business, 21 jump doing its usual

[forg]

I won't deny though that I'm still holding out of hope it will have legs this April since there's no major competition haha but oh well I'm okay with it disappointing, just glad it was re-issued so I was able to see it on the big screen for the first time

[baumer]

I gotta guys. It's been fun. Ttyl.

I think it also has to do with how accessible Titanic and The Phantom Menace are compared to The Lion King. TLK has its DVD in the Dinsey "vault" so people just can't go out and buy it. Plus I rarely see TLK on TV, if ever. Titanic and TPM are on TV all the time, Spike shows the SW movies and Titanic is just one of those movies that's always on one of the cable channels.

Is that a sold out show for 21JS?

Lion King 3D was for me the biggest box office surprise of 2011.

Yeah, it propelled September 2011 to one record-breaking month.

[CJohn]

Btw, if you can keep posting updates of that theater it would be great, IMO.

Yeah, it propelled September 2011 to one record-breaking month.

You can also thank Contagion, Moneyball and Dolphin Tale for that.

But you know the "King" of the jungle.

[John Marston]

That Titanic number simply isn't good. Especially considering how hyped it and the 3d conversion was

[blackspider]

Is that a sold out show for 21JS?

Yeah, it's probably in a smaller theater.

I just figured everyone would be interested in it because I am.

And that's a mistake we all make from time to time. None of us are immune to that one.

Ah , September 2011, the sole box office bright spot in that miserable year.
