Estimated Wknd Numbers - BD2(141.3M) Skyfall(41.5M) Lincoln(21M)

[Burgess]

Teenage girls play COD?News to me.

I'm not sure how the demographic numbers breakdown. I'm just throwing ideas against the wall and seeing what sticks.

For the record, BD2 just had the 2nd biggest OD of all time in the UK at around £7m ($11m).So I really don't know what's going on in the US.

US is always first to set a trend but also cool off on what isn`t considered cool anymore or is replaced by new cool thing. hence why actors who aren`t big in US anymore are still big OS and why franchises that drop Stateside increase OS. Edited November 17, 2012 by fishnets

Well not really, because English speaking countries (UK and Aus) generally follow the same trends as the US.What you're describing happens more frequently in developing countries. Edited November 17, 2012 by Heretic

It's doing just fine in US. 65-70M.

[Fake]

70m would be a good number after the 60m scare.

RTH please.

Overall, this weekends box office is lower than anticipated but there doesn't seem to be a clear reason as to why. Could the Tuesday release of Call Of Duty: Black OPS II be affecting movie attendance? COD is a massively popular multilayer death match game that appeals to much of the same demographics as Twilight and Bond.

Not to mention Halo 4 which was released the previous day, making 220m that same day. Oh, and CoD:BO2 made 500m in one day.Not sure if that will have effect on box office but damn!

I already mentioned BO2 but people say video games have little effect.

Looks like it was in fact Lincoln that hurt Skyfall a little - I was hoping the latter could hold better.

You think 61%, 46% and 42% drops are good for the movies? Skyfall: OMG, awesome, long legs, $300m, $250m lock, $45m+ 2nd weekend, great WOM, next *insert long leg blockbuster*Ralph: Superb WOM, $200m+ Flight: Great WOM, increasing TC, $100mSo, no. People here seem to say a lot of stupid things and when the time comes and the drops are actually very average, it's still "fantastic", "great", "what I was expecting". Blindly optimistic, or hypocritical, or just blatant lies, either which way ignoring circumstances, predictions, statements and etc. Anyway, I don't care for discussing crappy numbers being wrapped up in colourful paper.

You need to chill, dude.

Everyone just Chill.

BK007 is our eternal Debbie Downer. I don't see what's bad about a low/mid 50s drop for Skyfall. I expected around 50. Ralph's a tad disappointing so I hope Saturday is really strong.
