And there you go.

 

It's much more than that! There is a perception that the creators of the series are not faithful to the source material, to the essence of the world imagined by Tolkien. Many characters are invented and they feel untolkienish; it looks like they have condensed 3,000 years of Middle-earth history in a couple of episodes... Everything has a Game of Thrones flair that is far from what the fan expects. The fan perceives a lack of respect towards the original work and a clear intention to squeeze commercially and in any way a world they love.
Anyways, I'm sceptical about RoP but I prefer to watch it before panning the series.

HP1 had around 57-60M admits in USA while DH2 was only 37M approx. 

 

Drop was there with every film in almost every market but ER kept getting better throughout 2000s, keeping the gross stable.

 

The following are admits in EU. Not fully accurate, but around the actuals.

Title	Year	EU Admits		US Gross	US Admits	US/EU
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone	2001	61,426,917		$317,575,550	58,810,287	0.96

Awesome list bud, thank you for this. No wonder the 4th film increased, PoA was by far the best entry of the franchise. Would of throught that DH1 and DH2  would bring out more people than HBP in the US, the drop there in tickets sold is a bit surprising.

Holy Shit! Minions 2 DOM will be bigger than first Minions. No one saw this coming.

 

Illumnation needs to send Pixar a gift basket for such weak competation this year.

Did you just hate TGM or are you a pessimist? Seems like you only post to shit on TGM’s chances of $700 million.

 

 

[Juby]

I'm just realist.

 

Top Gun: Maverick 8-9/10 and easily the best movie of the year (so far) for me.

I am here for the Minions domination tbh. The little yellow fuckers deserve it all.

[Legion Again]

I still see 700. 22% drops and 10M expansion bonus will do it.

Why would somebody be a hater by saying that it needs a seven multiplier to hit 700 million? That literally makes no sense. Just the facts are being mentioned.

 

At this point Top Gun has exceeded even the most ridiculously outlandish expectation somebody might have had pre-release. I don't think anybody's hating on the film to say that it might only reach 650 million LOL

[MrPink]

If it can drop 21-22% this weekend, that won't be far off from Wonder Woman's post 4th of July weekend. Made another 45m from there. And since TGM has been holding better than WW overall, then I assume it could get to at least 680m so long as they don't start putting it on streaming services too quickly.

This isn't accurate. Sorcerer's Stone had 56m admissions. DH2 had VERY low 3D shares for its time and easily did 42m+ admissions.

Before release, $400M WW would have been around the top end of the most optimistic predictions, especially given a perception of the film being nothing more than American military propaganda. It will end its run with almost $1B more than those early pie in the sky predictions. It’s not just the over-performer of the year; but one of the largest and most surprising over-performances of all time.

Thanks God no one envolved in this film died before its release. 14 years ago TDK exceeded every expectation + all b.o. predictions same way and some people still claims it was all due to Heath's death (not his electrifying performance and bc it was so great movie) and without it TDK had no chance of breaking OW record and crossing $500m dom. No chance... Such things never happen... Never.

I believe it will reach $670m.
