[MrPink]

Also, I want to say congrats to Fake for calling that the Hobbit wouldn't be THAT big. The hero this forum deservedI believed in you!

[Elessar]

On the higher end, wouldn't that mean 90 million would be in solid play?

It would still need a great sunday drop, like -20%. Edited December 16, 2012 by Elessar

Is this good someone tell me

30M would be good not great while 27M would be meh.

[iceroll]

H1 matinee trade is quite good, I can't be assed working anything out atm, beach is calling it could be 27-30 but all depends on evening and other factors see how it looks later

I hope it's closer to 30... 27 would be a crappy increase from Friday-midnights.

If it did 30 million, could drop 25% and still make 90. I can't speak to what is typically par for Sunday drops during this weekend though.

Only a dumbass or a troll would say LOTR trilogy had negative feedback. One of the most asinine things I've ever read. Cure for insomnia? Give me a fucking break, troll.

[Dementeleus]

27 would be in line with other openings around this time of year. 30 would possibly indicate stronger than expected family audience.

Both are too low for Notfabio`s 30-50% increase report from his chain. 30% would be $31.2 mio ($24mio +(24mio*30%) = $24 mio + $7.2 mio = 31.2 mio) and 50% would be $36 mio (24 mio + (24 mio*50%) = $24 mio + 12 mio = $36 mio).

No, because better matinees doesn't mean it'll do better in the evening as well. And most cash is made in the evening.

[Gopher]

It'll probably hit high 20s today which should be expected after a 24.9m Friday.

[rb02]

I think I read somewhere that each Hobbit movie costed 300M... WTF?

If that's so...then, still, major profit.

WOM for this is going to be fantastic. I'm hearing nothing but great reception from people. I'm obviously disappointed 100m couldn't happen for OW but its not a big deal at all with WOM and the holidays. Sticking to 400m+ finish for this.

If it does $85m-$90m, there is no chance it can hit $400m.

How so?

If global marketing is around 100 million they'd need 800 million per movie to break even.

[Noctis]

How much was the production budget + marketing spent on this film?

[MovieMan89]

4x multi will be a walk in the park for this, guaranteed. I think 4.5x isn't at all out of question.

[Sims]

Nothing changes with those numbers. Still terrible.

Agree, the WOM appears to be at odds with the critics. This is no phantom menace, that's for sure.

[Noctis]

WOM is not fantastic. It's decent, but not fantastic. I've had a few friends watch it, and they say it's good, but kind of boring. One flat out hated it.
