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

[kayumanggi]

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

April, May and July were records too. Only shows how terrible the first three months were.

[B J]

Is that a sold out show for 21JS?

yes, if its got a line through it, sold out baby.

FRIDAY 5 PM, 6TH UPDATE: I’ve just learned that Lionsgate’s The Hunger Games has grossed $131.6M internationally and $269.3M domestically in its first 13 days of release at the worldwide box office to cross $400M total. My sources say it’ll be the #1 movie again this Easter weekend with $12M-$14M for Friday at the North American box office and potentially $40M for the weekend. Universal’s American Reunion opening today is #2 with $8M-$10M today for a projected $25M for this weekend. Universal’s fourquel reunites the original cast of this raunchy popular franchise more than a decade later, including even that hot mess Tara Reid. (For those keeping score, there have been 8 releases total – but a quad went directly to home video.) In the U.S. and Canada, midnights at 37 locations opened with $660K. It pulled ahead of Paramount/Fox conversion Titanic 3D which opened Wednesday and is looking at $6.5M-$7.5M today for #3 and a possible 5-day cume of $20M through Easter Sunday.

Brooom. Brrroooooooom.

True story.

[B J]

ehe, 40m wknd would be nice to see, but I wont be cheering till I see it set with actuals.

[blackspider]

It can't hit 40m with 14m. Does Nikki not realize what Easter does to films over the weekend.

[CJohn]

April, May and July were records too. Only shows how terrible the first three months were.

The movies released on those months had no appeal, I question myself why I would pay to see some of those movies. April got away because of Easter at the end of the month and made studios shedule is kids movies in that month, Rio and Hop. This year's April is fucked.

She obviously just got finished taking a hit off the bong before she typed that and forgot it was Easter weekend so it will have a big Sunday drop. Oh how I wish that number would be real though.

[Olive]

OMG，Nikki is kidding again.

[Hiccup]

Holy crap for Hunger Games. It better hold or im going to kill Nikki

[iceroll]

Basically it's the exact same update as 2 and a half hours ago except she gives a bogus weekend projection for THG.

Recession it is, IMO. People saved money for the films they wanted to see. HP: DH ll, T: DOTM, FF etc.

[ddddeeee]

God I love her.

[Kvikk Lunsj]

I think people had to high of exception for titanic it make around 50m in the end which will be.

[B J]

She's just sturing the pot again, evil hag.

[kayumanggi]

Nikki should go to a Math academy with know-your-holidays lessons.

EVIL + HAG = :lol:

I don't understand what people were expecting from a 15 year old film that's on TV all the time. TLG was a Disney animated film and did better due to Disney's M.O.of holding their classic animated films back. It's really that simple and says nothing about their respective quality or legend. Same can be said for Episode 1, it's on SpikeTV every weekend. Beauty and the Beast was the anomaly. It should have done better than it did, but maybe it just doesn't hold up as well as TLG(I personally don't like B&B all that much). There's also the overkill factor to consider. We're in a glut of these 3D re-releases. Maybe people are just tiring of it.
