Shawn already brought up the flixster rating today, so I do have to wonder what kind of family appeal this is going to have over the holidays. What're the precendents for 3 hour films with family appeal? Avatar?

Seriously, I love how this breaks pretty much every December record around and it's such a failure? Apparently a lot of you have never followed box office in December.

face the reality.

I already said this. We better hope The Hobbit has strong legs otherwise we will be circle jerking it till May.

It could flop also.

Could? Okay.But it will most probably break out.

36M Friday...just shitty.

At this point, I just want the holdovers to survive and have a good solid weekend.

Any clue for what cinemascore Hobbit will get ? "A-"? "B+" ?

[Kalo]

F$38S$35S$27= $100 OWAverage December Multiplier 4x = $400m... and people are already saying it's bombing? if it did make less then $300m Domestically. then people of the world have lost there minds and are having others thinking for them like stupid critics.

Well there goes my Hobbit winter games prediction.

It may still be a December record (at least we hope so) but there's really nothing 'good' about this number. Every movie's performance is relative to expectations, and The Hobbit is falling short of them big time.

You were wrong about THG.

Yeah.... off by 30 million, a whole fucking 8%!!And it is not meant to be an excuse, but I never did any calculations for that projection, just said it off the top my head, because I never cared much for that film to do any calculations.

I'm not as excited about Pacfic Rim as you and Neo are. Maybe 500M WW but not the 1B+ you're predicting. I just don't see it.

Skyfall FTW!!

Hope Skyfall can have a nice soft drop this weekend.

Your projection skills suck.

I was joking. I know you're one of the best predictors, was trying to lighten the mood a bit. It's been pretty awful day here.

500m is not even a question.... the scale of the movie alone guarantees it.500m will probably come from Asia alone.
