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

[bofan]

Sunday (1/20/13) Update: WB reports that The Hobbit made $13.2 million overseas from more than 7,400 screens in 63 markets, pushing its overseas total to $632.2 million. The fantasy flick's global total is now $919.6 million.

So when is this gonna start dropping better than 50%? Oh, i know, when it releases in China!

[Fake]

The Mon-Sun weekly gross was 22.9M (50% drop week-to-week). If it continues with such drops, it will finish with 655M from current markets.So it will probably be around 960M before China opens. If it bombs there and misses 40m.........

[John Marston]

please cross the billion! That is all I hope for

[TimmyRiggins]

How can this bomb in China? Please............ 50 M minimum.

[Elessar]

I'm hoping for $150m.

It wasn't very successful in the other Chinese-speaking territories like Hong Kong and Taiwan, so pessimism is perfectly fine about this.

It will still finish below Skyfall. And my TH1 under ROTK club will still succeed.

[John Marston]

no! Don't miss the billion!

[Fake]

no! Don't miss the billion!

It won't most likely...... even if it actually finishes 5M short, WB will fudge it over.

[fmpro]

I agree Fake

Will make about the same in Hong Kong than Skyfall.Dunno about Taiwan... Edited January 20, 2013 by Elessar

This has got to be the first movie where a 1B WW gross is actually disappointing :/

You were absolutely right :wave:I will be content if this still can be a franchise with 6 movies over 300 in US (although I see it difficult because Desolation of Smaug can easily fail. In my opinion, it needs an OMG trailer for this), and 4 movies over 1 billion WW.

As long as all actors disappear. We are on the same page here. Fanboys don`t care to watch Borelando, Pace, Turner, Armitage, Evans and Granny in anything. They only care for boxoffice. I care that those stupid Z listers go the fuck away and never come back in anything relevant be it a shampoo commercial or whatever bigger than that. So you can have desired BO as long as Z-listers remain Zzzzz.I also want PJ to become irrelevant forever. Again, fanboys care that TH does well but don`t give a crap about his other films. So we are on the same page. Edited January 20, 2013 by fishnets

Producers care about box office, not me. I would like TH had done more money, but it is not a life or death topic for me. I earn the same if this does 1$ or 2 billion. Even if AUJ had only sold my tickets I would still see it as a great film and that is what I really care: quality. And I am expecting the same for DOS and TABA. Casablanca is (in my opinion) the best movie in the history and it does not appear in adjusted or non-adjusted lists.And for the record, and it is just my opinion, Armitage is absolutely AMAZING as Thorin.

[fishstick]

There`s nothing amazing about Thorin either writing or acting-wise. I`d understand if you said he was good or that he wasn`t boring (since I thought he was a yawn). But amazing is really OTT hyperbole.

True.OMG, this made my day:

By the way, not that this is, ahem, related or anything, but does anyone know why Orlando Bloom and Miranda Kerr showed up(at the Golden Globes party)? It’s a little embarrassing. As far as I know, he wasn’t connected to any of the films at all. So where do you seat him? Certainly not close to the front.
