It's around 11-12% through Mon to Thu.

8m more is doable.

Maybe $45M finish.

dont expect Smaug to have any strong legs. Audience will call it boring. $50m ? Unsure. Starting Monday, market has come back to normal (not impressive but also not poor) status.

It thought Smaugh will be boring  as previous series but it is not!  I did get "excited" start from the beginning until the end of the film!

[Olive]

Yeah, marketing for Smaug on Social Networks is really weak, haven't seen many ads.

On Friday, DOS will have 34% of national showtimes, quite good, but it will only have IMAX exclusively for 1 week while AUJ had for one MONTH,Robocop will take some IMAX showtimes a week later.Frozen will have 8% on Friday but will increase back to 10% on Saturday, may reach $40M after Sunday.

[Olive]

DOS has 30k presales on Gewara.com, which has doubled AUJ.That is good sign.

[POLYLOVE]

Very good presales for Hobbit. Maybe $80M finish?
