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

[Fake]

But isn't 60m too much? That would be like #2 all-time? Clearly it isn't doing so well in the rest of the markets.

[Elessar]

Don't forget China, Russia and Aus.

I'm not forgetting them.In how many markets did ROTK opened to and how much did it make?

[Olive]

So China will decide 700M OS or not?

No, 3rd all-time, POTC4 is second with $65m :)The Hobbit will have much more screens, IMAX, holidays and ticket prices are clearly up from last year. It's perfectly realistic.We need to be cautious because it disappointed in many markets, but 60m is a reachable goal.

ROTK made $125.9 million on its first weekend OS from 14 territories according to BOM.

I dunno how to read that coz according to that site ROTK never had more than 23 territories. Is territory the same as country or not?

Many markets were not tracked at that time, maybe.

No breakdown yet?BO.com had such a comprehensive breakdown for Friday but one line for weekend estimates?

Sweden is the most impressive by far given its size, Mexico and Brazil have weak numbers, latin america isn't fond of TH.

[Dale Cooper]

SWEDEN 6.0

Ah, I really, really thought it would be higher. But I guess it's good given how it has sorta underperformed in other markets.

I was thinking in 1 billion OS. The numbers are about a 20-25% lower than I had expected and adding the completely bomb in Japan, it looks like to be headed to about 700, maybe a bit more.

[Elessar]

There are quite a few of you still believing in $700m. Are legs really that good at the end of the year? That would be a multiplier over 4 from current markets.

[Fake]

700m is still possible Elessar, but not a sure thing by any means.I think it still gets 1B WW.

I am pretty confident in excellent WOM. The trend in comments is that the movie is nearly at the same level than LOTR in terms of quality. Legs at Christmas are very good nearly everywhere. Here, in Spain, FOTR had a x5 multiplier from 5-day opening, and both TTT and ROTK x4.

Of course, not sure, but still quite possible.

Sweden would have been higher if that cokehead actor from Sweden who plays Beorn was in AUJ. But he`s now moved to DoS.

[A Marvel Fanboy]

meh start.Around 650M finish.

[Neo]

So 40M avg for Sat/Sun? Quite an increase from Friday.
