Well comparing it to a finale is unfair I think.

[BoxOfficeZ]

Box office observers, however, are cautioning that the elementary school shooting in Newton, Conn., that left 26 people dead, including 20 children, could dampen moviegoing among families. The killing rampage is a reminder of the mass theater shooting in Colorado last summer that left 12 dead and 58 others injured. http://www.hollywood...yeing-82-402969

And the curse continues.

I highly doubt its had THAT much of an effect on the gross. Its not being labeled "The Hobbit School Shootings". WB is trying to spin this.

WB didn't say that. We need to be fair here.

Excuses have begun. If that is the case why is it doing so bad in UK for example?

And why holdovers are good ?

[Jessie]

WB's luck has been shit.

How exactly?

[Jessie]

People need to except that they over-predicted this movie and leave the excuses out.

I just looked back at your TH under ROTK thread and I think you have some crow to dish out.

THE HOBBIT: AUJ greatly needs family auds.

No one is making excuses here.

Yup I do. But I need to be sure if it is 100% happening first. :)By next weekend we will have a pretty clear idea.

What's with the title? How is the Dec record not falling?

[baumer]

The record nikki is referring to is at the December opening weekend record. No matter how poorly the Hobbit did it was going to pass 77 mill. So the December record is nice but way below outlandish expectations from this site. And if this dies open to all around 80 or 85 then you can start wondering if it will pass 300.

Maybe not you, but I have seen some posts a few hours back saying the killings affected the box office.Well I can easily prove otherwise, waiting for the official numbers first.

Well no, it's legs would have to be on the very low end for Decembers to not even pass $300m with an $80m OW. And I don't think its legs will be that bad.

Skyfall beating TH1..... upset of the century maybe (so far)?

The THR article says "Box office observers...".

It can miss 300m with average legs.

[Jessie]

I don't think anyone needs to worry about TH crossing 300 mil, that will happen.
