Fullbuster Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Similar release date than last year And? That doesn't change the facts : it's a late release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POLYLOVE Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 That's right. $70M is locked. Hobbit has a good chance to hit $80M. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peludo Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 And? That doesn't change the facts : it's a late release. Hobbit is lucky to be released in China. Many Hollywood movies are not even released. This kind of delays are common. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Marvel Fanboy Posted February 21, 2014 Author Share Posted February 21, 2014 Estimates have Smaug Friday around 55~58m incl premieres, a significant increase (57%) over the first Hobbit. Considering Smaug notably downfell in some key markets and barely stayed flat in many others, the bump from China is really exceptional, which can only be possibly explained by the growing market (Smaug screens added 40% more AUJ and February has been performing 80%+ better than last year).

POLYLOVE Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Agreed. The huge increase for TH2 is just weird....The expanding market seems the main reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Marvel Fanboy Posted February 21, 2014 Author Share Posted February 21, 2014 Meanwhile, all holdovers dropped hefty. Smaug counted for 65% Friday business. No strong contender is also a favor: BLS is claming, Monkey and fellow holiday releases are closing, unlike AUJ hiding in the shadow of JTTT throughtout the run. Not to mention AUJ itself underperformed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LexJoker Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Good time for Warner. MOS, Gravity and PR especially did much better than expected and now DOS looking to do the same. Hopefully Godzilla too breaks out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfantin65 Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 We import a trillion dollars of their crap and they limit our exports. No wonder why our economy and currency has gone to hell.I thought Frozen could do 50m + there. No chance now. Could do 100m in Japan though based on S Korea's run. It never had a chance. 30m by sunday?Never say never Still thinking no more than 35M. Tomorrow half of its showtimes will be lost. If it does 50M, I'll eat my hat! I think you need to cool down a bit. as Olive said holidays are done after this weekend and so it will drop hard plus Hobbit will take away lots of screens. 40M in China would be great. Frozen's will be extended for 2 more weeks.Feb 5 to march 20. 50m Locked! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MonstersandRoy Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Could the fact Smaug has a dragon in be a major reason for this early success? China love dragons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
