Gopher Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Wrath will probably reach 350m WW. Still a financial success but I doubt WB will have another go at the franchise. 21JS is just killing it. If it doesn't lose too many screens before May it could reach a 4x multiplier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CloneWars Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Hooooooowever, the second THG book was kinda boring, I see the movie making less money than THG1I agree CF the book was boring, but I think it will actually lend itself to a more cinematic film than THG.

theultimatebiu Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Catching Fire will work as a film because it has several action set pieces...the Quarter Quell alone should be a selling point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakeOshea13 Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 I like Mockingjay...I just felt it was far too rushed and it felt like a completely different author. Also the final capitol battle was described/imagined really weirdly (the floor folded away at one point? wtf lol). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dale Cooper Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Good for Hunger Games, I guess. It'll still probably not reach DHII though. Otherwise a mediocre weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishstick Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 I like Mockingjay...Me too. I don`t get the hate that has this book as some kind of literal abomination on the level of BD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakeOshea13 Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 (edited) Me too. I don`t get the hate that has this book as some kind of literal abomination on the level of BD.I feel it is bad in comparison to the other two books, it's still a decent book ('awful' was an exaggeration).I did feel that spoiler's death at the end was perfect though. It was very poetic (something which I feel Rowling sort of bottled out on). Edited April 8, 2012 by boredisboring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackspider Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Just read through the entire thread. Man, baumer is really pissed about this.Great weekend for THG. I said 40-45% drop seeemed reasonable and it fell right in the middle of those numbers. THG is projected to have one of the worst Sunday drops. Hopefully Lionsgate has learned their lesson and be pessimistic. This number better not go down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewy Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 I feel it is bad in comparison to the other two books, it's still a decent book ('awful' was an exaggeration).If it's only a decent movie compared to the first two people will tear it for eternity and call it dreadful. People love to exaggerate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTX Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Potter movies (outside of one or two of them) are way better than the first HG movie, but yeah he may have unfortunately. THG for Baumer is the twilight series for the rest of us. The only advantage Potter flicks hold over THG is the production design. THG is a far superior film overall. You don't have to be a fanboy/fangirl to appreciate it. This is the reason it's exploding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackspider Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 You should at least take some solace in knowing THG's success as a movie is almost entirely from its perfect timing at the books height of popularity...it's not a success because of the movie itself, but from its fans and the book (same as twilight though).No, this movies success isn't solely coming from the fanbase. A fanbase can't take a film to these levels unless it's called Star Wars. It's generating interest from old and young alike, it's a four quadrant movie, simple as that.

Eldenfirefly Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Yay, great for Hunger games! So, does it have a chance to hit 400 million? Is this weekend's hold showing that it is going to be less front loaded than the twilight and HP series? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJohn Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 400M are out of question unless it morphs into Avatar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
