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

Very nice. Good shot at USD50m in Australia.

Good opening in Australia.Now only China left to open. It will need to perform well for Hobbit to cross 1 Billion mark.

Given its weakness in Taiwan and Hong Kong I'm not optimistic about China

You better.I dont see Hobbit entering top 10 of 2013 in China. Around $60M probably.Hollywood is very weak in China 2013, the only locks for yearly top 10 is: Skyfall, IM3, Smurfs 2.

Even 60m may prove crucial in the end.Right now OS seems to be headed for 625-650m excluding China.

i really can't tell if Fishnets is joking or not in her posts anymore. Everytime i read her posts i imagine her pulling out her hair and screaming at the screen with bloodshot eyes!

You`d be surrpised how effective that can be.

50-60M from China.

[fishstick]

I hope Skyfall edges it. It deserves it. Such an incredible run without 3D premiums.So despite 3D and IMAX premium and expanding markets TH may fall under Shriekapoo number? Gotta apprciate the old billionaire club when they got their numbers without expanding markets and 3D premiums.

That is the range I am thinking right now. I think it will need about 100-110 million from Australia+China to reach 700 OS and probably 1 billion WW.

Why Hobbit will be relatively weak in China:No IMAX versionNo HFR versionOnly 3D, no 2D versionBad release date: students back to school and people working, no holiday when Hobbit opens late FebLong delay: two months delay, its overal meh worldwide performace will effect itCrowed competitions: Late Feb ~Early March is always the garbage dates for SARFT to throw a bunch of imported movies. This time it will be filled by Hobbit + Jack Reacher + Cloud Atlas + Die Hard 5 + even Django Unchained + ton of buyout movies / flops.Shame for SARFT...

So, TH will be released in February for sure, but the exactly date is still not confirmed, isn't it?

1B is more doable than last week.
