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

[Crusader]

$57M from 56 international markets (18,200 screens) through Friday.

The fuck ??? Now it won't reach 120 mil from these markets ???

[CJohn]

Saturday and Sunday are much bigger days OD than they are DOM. It may do 170 OW now.

[Elessar]

Sure but THAT much bigger? Double the friday? In many markets it got released on friday, there's gotta be some rush factor so sat won't be that much bigger.

In some countries it jumps almost 100%. That 170M prediction was just a guess, tho.

Ahhh it did 11 mil on wednesday I wasn't counting that number Still though John 170 mil is a pipe dream more like 135-140 for the weekend

[CJohn]

Forgot that the 57M number is not from Friday alone...

[Olive]

Germany – Friday pulled in €2.4m (US$3.1m) from 1,332 screens with a 63% market share, bringing the running cume to €5.5m (US$7.1m).

Yeah Fri was up 64% on Thu and Sat was up another 65% on Fri

Wed-Sat around eu9.5m

So $16-17m OW in Germany

[fmpro]

Sunday here are much bigger than fri and sat..Wed are allready on same level as fridayThis is a crawler.. On the bigger scale

[fmpro]

So $16-17m OW in Germany

drops next weekénd will be very low

Avatar only opened with $165M OS in December...not saying the Hobbit will make $2B OS but anything can happen.

Why is Avatar even a comparison??? it will always give you misleading numbers..... and false hopes.

given the luke warm response from OS markets it will be lucky to pass ROTK OS

Yeah, it`s funny that even people who hang out on BOF or even started on BOM always "forget" the difference between a brand new property`s boxoffice run and sequel/prequel when their favorite movie isn`t doing so hot.Titanic and Avatar are absolutely uncomparable to franchise movies. When franchise movies break out, they break out comparable to francnise breakouts, not those 2 boxoffice anomalies.POTC:DMC, Skyfall, Shrek 2, TDK, T:NM, are all franchise-type breakouts. They posted huge jumps but they are not Titanic/Avatar because their run was entirely different. Edited December 16, 2012 by fishnets

With good trends on Sat/Sun around the world, I think 150m OW and ROTK OS is back on track.
