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

The Netherlands seem OK.

We will really have to wait until Tuesday (when actuals for the weekend come in). What we can say atm is that it's not frontloaded and has little rush factor. In fact Fri shows (also Fri evening) have more presales at my theater than Thu.

Abysmal presales in India BTW. 5M total max I'd guess. Dabangg 2 is opening next weekend so it has pretty much a 1-week run.

[John Marston]

how do presales in most countries compare to a movie like POTC 4? That is honestly the best type of movie to compare it to

Yes and no. Yes in 4th movie in series, no in one is a Holiday 2 Summer opening and one had increase overall 3 movies while one had a up and down.

I still expect it to beat the 5-day opening record here in Sweden. It had gigantic midnights and is looking at a huge OD.

[Fullbuster]

I'm still optimistic for TH in Russia, chances are the OW record will be broken there, given it will be released for the highest-grossing week.

It seems so.http://www.thehobbit.com/releasedates/release-dates.html

[DeeCee]

The delayed release in Australia will help the USD gross. The Aussie dollar has been slowly rising against the US dollar for the last few weeks.

[JCS]

People shouldn't start freaking out. This isn't breaking any opening records, but over the holiday period and new year, it'll play very, very well. I'm expecting about 900-950m OS. Same as DH2.

Sounds good!December openings are never THAT great.

This overal disappointing.
