XIA had a baby and said he retired from box office for a while. It has nothing to do with anyone bashing him here.

I was unaware of that. Thanks for the update.

Argo is almost there! Just a little more! PUSH!

I'm kinda amazed that a niche movie like Hugo got a 170M budget

Graham King has trouble saying no to people like Martin Scorcese but I totally agree and think the audience got very lucky with that film–we literally got a $170m art house film which is unheard of. I'm very happy that happened! To see that much money put towards a passion project instead an over-stylized previously established property is literally an anamoly. What a great film though...

Clearly the pic’s R rating puts off Jennifer Lawrence’s younger female fans who are still Twilight Saga-obsessed.

Wha?

[Travod]

Wha?

THG* ...

Regardless of how BK007's postings are interpreted, he did engender several comments about Rth and his numbers . . . and that, in itself, was interesting and educational.

Ehhh, I wasn't a fan of Hugo. I mean, it was stunning visually, but I think the 'mystery' was weak, the main character boring and all the attempts at comedy unbearable. I wasn't blown away.

I was bored out of my mind. Last year's awards contenders were so dull.

[iceroll]

This year's Oscars look way better than last year.

[CoolioD1]

I've only seen two or three of this years real contenders and I already like the awards contenders this year way more.

Yeah. Last year's main contenders weren't the best. Not bad, but not too bad.

He, as far as I know, doesn't even update his site anymore.Here's the last box office posting.....The Words:http://www.boxofficefollower.net/ Edited November 24, 2012 by baumer

[tupek]

btw congratulations to BD2 and Skyfall on hitting 200m!

The funnier part is that SKYFALL will outgross TASM.....in some days......without 3D.

One of the best years for Oscar movies at the BO. LOP will push 100M, Argo is already at 98 and Lincoln looking at 125M maybe 150M.

Really hope ROTG can hit a massive multiplier to at least get close to its budget. I know the studio will still take a big hit but it I saw the film yesterday and I geniunely think it is one of the best animated films in years. The 3D was absolutely gorgeous and I thought Jack Frost was one of the best protaganists in a children's film that I've ever seen. I also feel like this is an equally good film for boys and girls which tend to skew a bit more female in both message and content. It basically felt like a holiday live action blockbuster translated into animation. Hopefully the A Cinemascore is reflective of legs to come.

Possibly.
