fishstick Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 (edited) Still can't believe "Skyfall" had a higher opening weekend than "The Hobbit".Why not? There was real anticipation. People were talking about it in advance. Well, maybe in TO since we had an aamzing 50 Years Anniversary Exibition. I know only one person who wants to see TH and only because of 48 fps. he saw 2 LOTR movies and decided it wasn`t for him so he skipped Shriekapoo, tried to watch it few nights ago and said fuck that slog couldn`t finish.

Olive Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 bigger drop than IAL(7.47m,-59.3%)IAL only had 3.32x multiplier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarSaber Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 How is that a terrible number? Isn't TH's audience composed of many families. Schools are still in session. ROTG was down 77%. TH is down 63%. I fail to see how that as a bad number considering IAL was not a family movie. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schools are still in session everywhere around me. Let's wait for Tuesdays number since Tuesday now is very different from five years ago Edited December 18, 2012 by John Marston Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mango Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Yeah, Hobbit's 63% fall compared to Legend's 59% fall isn't bad at all considering the former has a much bigger family audience.Also when are December's ever consistent? It isn't like comparing Avengers to Spider-Man or Skyfall to Casino Royale. Comparing Hobbit and I Am Legend will not be nearly as accurate.

Sims Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Those seem like pretty irrelevant excuses to me. I don't know where people got the idea TH1 is going to act like a kids' film. That's insanity. This one number is obviously not going to determine the fate of the movie's legs, but it's yet more bad news for its run after a disappointing weekend. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Marston Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 (edited) Seems standard to me. Looked at other films this year Monday drops on school/work days they usually drop 60%+ Even films targeted at adults ,so what is the fuss?

StarSaber Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 It seems more being influence by kids that actually being a kids movie. ROTG dropped 77%...Even if it isn't running like a kids movie. LOP dropped 63%. Skyfall dropped 64%. So I don't see how this is even bad news. The numbers at least decent.

A Marvel Fanboy Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 I think Hobbit is going to perform like this in its rest of whole run: with every daily number, there are people think it is bad and others say it is decent/expected. In other words, It is having a boring run ... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Marston Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 If other movies this year had better Non holiday Monday holds I would be concerned but looking at them it is not the case. So basically the Monday number says nothing right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dementeleus Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 It's an expected number, a touch on the low side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tawasal Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 alot of movies have been overestimated and sunday has been the day most overestimated except for TH i think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Stingray Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Once again, The HOBBIT'S Weekend number is respectable and is good as what the LOTR movies brought in back in the 90's.. Extremely high expectations and the need to wipe out The AVENGERS 207M OW is what causes people to overinflate their box office predictions cause the bar has been set so high now.. You're acting like people here have a secret vendetta against Avengers and its records. Most people (including I) loved it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishstick Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 (edited) Seems standard to me.It is standard, expected and NORMAL. I like word normal better than other words because it doesn`t have insinuation that something that`s performing like a normal blockbuster is disappointing. However, it cannot be denied that some people here are grasping for straws (it`s a family movie, it`s better to have Sunday up and Friday/Sat down even though OW itself went a bit down with actuals, everyone`s waiting to see in for Xmas although there will be so much more to choose from unlike during the opening weekend,etc) in hope of an ABNORMAL run which is typical for very few rare original movies and not for sequels/prequels.Now, BKB is on the money that TA OW and run, which were abnormal for sequel/prequel though TA was new category with very specific build-up that other sequel/prequels don`t have, created the kind of situation where fans of other franchises are not happy that their franchise is normal. They want the proof of ultimacy. Hence, if ________ made that much, than _________ can certainly make more. Times have changed. TA made what it made because it was something never done before. Yes, there were X Men movies with multiple super heroes but this one had MAJOR superheroes from individual stories/movies working as a team in one movie. So after how many years (2-3?) of constant hype and build-up through individual movies TA finally arrived and wow`d the crowd. Other blockbusters this year also tried to raise the bar with some franchise unspecific novelties such as Skyfall`s Nolanization, BD2`s head-chopping super-fight that even geeks admit is the best fight in any movie this year and TH with HFR. Some novelties hit, some polarized. Edited December 18, 2012 by fishnets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
