The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey OS Thread: OVER 1B WW!

[peludo]

What would ROTK inflate to (with 3D)?

That is a huge and very interesing debate. But you do not have to limit the debate to ROTK. I think that FOTR was bigger than ROTK OS

People forget, FOTR had more admissions than ROTK. OS has expanded greatly since LOTR trilogy. No doubt in my mind this is going to hit 1B OS.

Hobbit will find it a bit more difficult overseas than domestic. Life of Pi and Wreck It Ralph will be competing for the family audience and affecting its legs.

If anything I thought it'd be the other way around..Isn't it normally the big movies that suck the life out of others?

No, they're different enough, and The Hobbit will have the hype on its side :)I'watch both Hobbit and Ralph!

Nah, it is normally the good movies that suck the life out of bad ones.LOP and WIR are already established as great holiday movies (great critic and user reviews), so in order for TH1 to be immune to them, it will first have to establish itself superior. Plus LOP and WIR are opening after TH1, so if TH1 isn't better or similar in quality at least, the legs will be affected, and LOP and/or WIR will breakout at the expense of TH1.

The Hobbit will be largely unaffected by any release. It's more like Life of Pi and Wreck-It Ralph are hoping not to get wiped out by the behemoth.

[Fake]

We shall see.... if every supposed to be big films were big and every small film got wiped out by competition, there will be no flop blockbusters and there will be no breakouts.LOP and WIR are good enough to hold their own and not get wiped out. The question is, will The Hobbit be good enough?

The hype is enormous for The Hobbit. It will do well.Yes, LOP and WIR can hold their own but at the expense of The Hobbit? I don't see that happening. The Hobbit is the IT movie of the winter. Nothing will stop it.

Hobbit doesnot care about any other movies through the entir winter season.

Lesson number one: Guaranteed hits, there is no such thing.

Star Wars, Indiana Jones could have been worse and still made a lot of moneyAVATAR2 can be really terrible and will still be a billion $ movie

Hoping WIR/LoP sucks Hobbit is like hoping egg breaks rock.

Indeed. Even with the disastrous Chinese release calendar, I still think this will reach 1 billion OS. The hype here is monstrous.

There is enough space for all of them. Christmas is always very crowded. Avatar competed with Sherlock Holmes, Alvin 2 and The princess and the frog. That 3 movies grossed together 700 million OS, beyond the 2 billion from Avatar.

[htall90]

$800 million at least surely if Pirates 4 made that surely it can i'd say betweens $900 million to $1 billion hype is huge one of the most anticipated films in recent memory OS made the most anticipated since the Phantom menace.

[rickoshe4830]

the last harry potter movie made plus 900 million overseas
