fishstick Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 (edited) Two items of note regarding THG:#1- This is the first Sunday that was larger than Friday(Up until now, THG looked like a Fri-Sat movie)#2- This comes directly after its first Thursday that was larger than the Monday in the same weekGreat WOM plus the lack of any blockbuster type competition is definitely allowing THG to level out.Chicks dig it. When chicks dig something it becomes huge and that applies to geek movies. Geeks alone mean nothing. It`s when chicks start digging geek flicks that those flicks go stratospheric.

forg Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Everybody in the top 12 but The Lucky One increased from the estimates, that's nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claire of Themyscira Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Nice. Feels like it's been awhile since so many films were underestimated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

code65536 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 (edited) In true Lionsgate fashion, THG's underestimation was the third-smallest of the top 13 (surpassed only by Titanic and the overestimates TLO). And LGF overestimated both Friday and Saturday, and if it were not for the unexpected rise on Sunday, LGF would've had a 5th straight week of overestimation.So... what the heck is up with this Sunday bump?The Sunday estimate-vs-actual difference, as a percentage of the overall weekend's estimate-vs-actual difference: 109% - TLAM 99% - TLO (virtually all of its overestimation came from an overestimate of Sunday)152% - THG 90% - Chimp 99% - Stooges 76% - Cabin 10% - AR831% - Titanic (its Friday/Saturday were very overestimated)139% - 21JS 52% - MM129% - Wrath 86% - LockoutWith only a few exceptions, the lion's share of the over-/underestimates could be attributed to getting Sunday wrong. Was there something that happened this past Sunday...? Edited April 23, 2012 by C64K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MovieMan89 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 (edited) 666 two weeks in a row? So apparently Satan himself is now controlling THG's fate. Hey fine with me if he wants it to get to 400m. Edited April 23, 2012 by MovieMan89 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would make it the highest grossing movie with an actress getting the top billing, no? Kate and Leo shared the billing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MovieMan89 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Or actually I'm not sure if Lawrence is top billed. I know Blind Side was the record holder for highest grosser with an actress top billed, but Lawrence may not have been top billed in THG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iceroll Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I don't know if THG was sold off Lawrence's name, I mean Blindside was completely marketed based off Sandra Bullock's name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishstick Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 There is no way that Hutcheson got top billing because Lawrence is a bone fide lead and more famous (Oscar, X Men). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forg Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 THG's selling factor of course is the book series but the story is all about Katniss basically, she's the bona fide lead and had more screentime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MovieMan89 Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Well IMDB seems to indicate Tucci and Bentley were billed before Lawrence. Strange, but not entirely out of possibility since they're more known. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
