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

[Dementeleus]

ugh, I am getting tired of this constant. "Hobbit is doing very good now!" And then suddenly "oh it's not doing good" and so on.

It's been performing pretty well for awhile now, really.

John Marston, you are quite possibly the most negative, pessimistic poster i've ever seen on a forum. Seems like you never have anything positive to say.

700m international and 1 billion still on track?

Unless it drops like a rock, both are nearly locked.

You certainly wear sunglasses given all you see is dark even though it's positive

according to posts above the New Years numbers were not good

[IndustriousAngel]

300 in North America are locked. 700 OS not yet. It had two very strong holiday weeks and 3 fine holiday weekends, but from now on January weekdays will work their curse and it's more a crawl than a run

[JCS]

$513.4M OS now.

[Tower]

BOM has updated it to 513.4M,although I'm not sure what this includes.

[peludo]

[Fake]

Japanese performance is, by far, the most shocking and disappointing. And that, having into account that big franchises had not dropped lately. In fact, some had even increased.

Well.... It opened against One Piece Z which was an highly anticipated adaptation of the best selling manga of all time in Japan and I heard the reviews were good but not great

I can assume it has had a hard competition, but even with that, given that Japan is probably the country with better legs in the world, its gross should have been considerably better. What will be the drop in admissions from FOTR, maybe 70? 80%? That is insane.

[John Marston]

what does it need to gross this weekend to be considered a good result?

[Elessar]

Difficult to say, around $60m?

[A Marvel Fanboy]

I think so.60+ good55- awful

[Elessar]

You serious? If 60m is good, 55m is not awful.
