Just checked BOM's Katniss vs. Potter showdown. Potter somehow earned $1,158,055 on its 32nd day... AARGH!!! Still behind by a couple thousand. God fucking damnit!

Potter had summer weekdays.

Very astute. I didn't read down before replying to druv. Actually, now that I think about it, Dark Shadows may hurt THG more than TA because it will crowd the marketplace and cause THG to have more of a TC drop.

Good point. I've been too focused on what it will do when Avengers comes out, I haven't really thought about what will happen afterwards. If it can stay in the 3000 neighborhood, it should be fine.

[Hiccup]

The Hunger Games can hopefully be over close to 375M when The Avengers comes out. It needs to be over 370M by next sunday though. I have it tracking to a 390M finish. It will at max reach 395M but it will be a very difficult challenge.

I really hope that the IMAX run will be really good for THG. Are there any other movies that got IMAX so late into their runs?

Star Trek got a 2 week limited run and so did The Dark Knight Edited April 24, 2012 by Andrew the Alien

Spider-Man contines to be the best comparison if THG wants to pass 400m. These next 2 weeks THG has to hold extremely well to even give 400m a shot.Spider-Man came off a 14.3m 5th weekend, similar to THG's 14.6m. But Spider-Man's dailies are now in summer and its weekdays are well ahead of THG. Spider-Man also managed to pull off back to back sub 30% drops in its 6th and 7th weekends. Spider-Man was at 370.4m after its 6th weekend. THG needs to be higher than that number to keep pace and counter SM1's stronger weekdays.

[blackspider]

Another thing to note that actually works in THG's favor in this comparison is that Spider-Man was on pace for a higher than its total but Sony kinda pulled the plug on it after it passed 400m. This can give THG an advantage and help it play catch up in its late run, especially once it hits dollar theaters.

This is achievable. By Thursday, it will have at least 361M and will only need 9m for 370m. With IMAX this weekend, it can get to 11-12M weekend.

Please THG, keep up the holds! Hit that 400 million ! I think it has a fighting chance. Even on a Monday, its one of the top 3 in terms of movie receipts, so there really is no major reason for them to be pulling tons of theatres off THG. Even when TA comes out, it depends because movie theatres will have several movies screening at any one time, so they won't only exclusively show TA and nothing else. I think THG has a chance. This two weeks will be crucial, plus the TA opening of course.go THG!

[Incarnadine]

If TA has the kind of weekend everyone is expecting (150-170m) I still believe THG will benefit somewhat from overflow crowds due to TA sell outs which might give a small cushion for its drop that weekend.

IMAX reissue didn't make any difference for TF3 last year. The only people who are going to watch this in IMAX in its 6th (!) week of release are die-hard fans, and they have already seen the film many times over.I expect a minimal (0.5-1M) boost from IMAX this weekend, which also means losing IMAX to TA will barely have any impact on THG. There is little audience crossover between TA and THG, so barring a catastrophic TC loss, 35% drop, even 30% drop is well within the realm of possibility.
