Bob Violence Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 (edited) Looking forward to DH5 -- not so much to watch it (since by almost all accounts it sucks) but because I'm seeing it as the first real test of the "Chinese audiences are off Hollywood action movies" theory. Skyfall and Jack Reacher aren't really conventional spectacle-type action movies, so if DH5 does notably better than those two, it would support the idea that Chinese audiences will still go for action movies if they're big and loud enough. Of course DH5 will still have to compete and split IMAX screenings with Oz. Edited February 21, 2013 by Bob Violence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Marvel Fanboy Posted February 21, 2013 Author Share Posted February 21, 2013 But of course DH5 will be (much) bigger than JR ...dh5 over/under TBL is a good competition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Bennett Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 oz looks to release on march 18 in 3D and IMAX 3D. Where did you get that info that it would be released just four days after dh5 which is in imax as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Marvel Fanboy Posted February 22, 2013 Author Share Posted February 22, 2013 15pm FridayHobbit OD looks significantly underperformed. Hobbit OD well below Jttw's 13th day ... It will lose the three days weekend for sure, if not by a large margin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peludo Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Basically, will Hobbit make $40M in China and cross $1B WW? I think 35 million from China will be enough to reach 1 billion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
