Not looking good. Fake your under ROTK club is looking like a winner, unfortunately.

About -23%

Thanks.So 5-day for Hobbit looks to be heading for 12m, down from my previous projection of 14m. Could go lower as the weekend progresses.

THE HOBBIT: AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY grossed $11.2 million internationally on Wednesday.

That's bad.600M OS is the target, biggest disappointment of the year.

any update on the second day for Germany?

it will be about equal slightly under Wed(about eu1.6m), The wed as far as i know is being classed as Previews opening 13-dec, but may not be the caseLOTr - wed OP $euFOTR 2.7mTT 3.6mROTK 3.6mExcept for FOTR Tt & ROTK took big drops thu

Harsh drop

[Poseidon]

Germany had a horrible wednesday,

it will be about equal slightly under Wed(about eu1.6m),The wed as far as i know is being classed as Previews opening 13-dec, but may not be the case

It had a full schedule on wednesday and those numbers are pretty bad, actually.You have to keep in mind, that average ticket prizes will be enormous. Up to 2€ more because of the running time, another 50 cent for HFR and 3D share will be very high. Should end up having the highest ticket average ever.Let's hope that the low temperatures are to blame, weekend will be rainy and up to 10°, so perfect weather for a night at the movies.

Germany had a horrible wednesday,

Every TV spot said the 13th is the release date for some reason. That must have been a big factor in the rather tepid OD and pretty much no drop on Thursday.

[Poseidon]

I would be cautious by only looking at thursday's box office.Thursday has weekend-prices, wednesday doesn't so drop in admission should be bigger than in €.But yes, those TV spots saying it's opening on 13th were strange.

I think now we can safely say Hobbit: AUJ is a WW disappointment, a flop, box office-wise or critic-wise.
