Oh, right, yes, the thing that made the Potter films sell around 50% more tickets on average than TH1 on their weekends. Yeah, got it!

Yep, their non-December opening weekends! Care to try again?

Why does everything always have to devolve into "my franchise can beat up your franchise" around here?

The Academy will nominate Life of Pi every year for the next 100 years before they ever nominate The Hobbit.

How about 101 years?

Oh, yes, DH1's $125m opening weekend would have totally been $85m-$90m in December. Absolutely. For sure. Yeah.

I'm telling y'all: "The Loonie Bin". Make it happen.

[kayumanggi]

THE HOBBIT films will still make more than most POTTER films which is a feat considering the long running time.

This is a losing battle...

[Noctis]

I think DH2 will sell roughly 100% more tickets than TH1 on opening weekend if the $36m number is true. Best case scenario for TH1 right now is for it to sell 60% of DH2's opening weekend tickets, but I'm not too hopeful about that.

You betcha pal. And would have given it a 3.5x multi or so, a very common December multi for the big openers of the month.

So I guess my $50 opening day is toast.

Not in admissions. Every single Potter film adjusts to over $1b worldwide.

We use them to gauge the collective e-penis size of fanbases, so they're quite important.
