That's what kills me. It was never not going to take the December 3-day record. Do people not understand that?

Apparently

But (of course) the industry still wants to promote that it did, even if it's thuddingly obvious.

[rockNrollaDIM]

Funny that TOLDJA never apologized for "no record" gaffe but pumped this "record" like it`s $300 mio domestic OW alone.

I was thinking that. Nikki must have buddies at WB, any other film dropping from initial estimates of 115m on Friday to 85m actual on Monday would be eviscerated by her.

[Dementeleus]

Nikki is an empty vessel who spouts out whatever's poured in.

[Elessar]

Let us just move on, please.

These kinds of headlines are aimed at people who aren't concerned with analyzing December 3-day records.

Wait, were people complaining about the CG?I thought the film was absolutely STUNNING to look at in every sense.

Yes somehow it looked worse than OT. I thought it was stunning as well.

Agreed. Visuals weren't the problem.

It's very simple. Don't be an arrogant ass about your predictions and nobody will be an ass when/if you're wrong.

I was pretty arrogant about 300 not topping Sin City. Yeah, I learned my lesson that weekend.

[iceroll]

Overall this weekend made 129m, just barely above the weekend when Wreck-it-Ralph opened :/

[iceroll]

Actually that's top 12 only, overall was 136m, lower than Wreck-it-Ralph's 138m. Next week's openers better do well or December will be pretty boring.

With December, you have to look at the full week, not just weekends. It can be pretty deceptive.

As far as bad predictions I've had my share. I once thought Green Lantern and John Carter would make 250 milllion so um yeah
