filmnerdjamie Posted December 18, 2012 Author Share Posted December 18, 2012 It was a lock in most of our minds. Hell I thought $1B would be broken from the overseas market alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Marston Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 I do not understand this doom and gloom over the Monday number. The drop was in line with the first Monday of pretty much every film this year that opened during school/work time. Take a look for yourself. Why not wait until the second weekend before completely writing it off? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kayumanggi Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 It's not a disappointment for me. Too bad it has disappointed some people. I hope they recover fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
75Live Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 I wouldn't. But I still think it will.Well yes I know it is possible so I can't discount it completely, but still. I wasn't on the $400m or over crowd, but I thought $300 should have been semi-easy for this at the beginning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmnerdjamie Posted December 18, 2012 Author Share Posted December 18, 2012 This upcoming weekend in general will be slow. Lots of traveling and Christmas shopping. I don't expect any of the openers to break high teens. I expect an OK ish opening for Jack Reacher and good legs. This is 40 and The Guilt Trip scream, "BOMB!" Its next Tuesday I'm anticipating. Both Les Mis and Django are tracking high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAR Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 (edited) I do not understand this doom and gloom over the Monday number.

Fake Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 The Monday number is actually quite good..... if you compare it with IAL, sure TH1's will seem 2% bigger..... but you are not accounting for Tuesday bumps. Where does the extra dollars on Tuesday come from? It is mostly those people who otherwise could have gone on Monday/Wednesday.If TH1 had to follow IAL exactly, it would make 8.0m/7.0m/6.5m on Mon-Wed. But now TH1 will do at least 7.7m/7.8m/6.0m. Similar (or higher) gross, but through a different route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zackzack Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 The HOBBITS will have to rely on International market to get to $1B++ Can it do $800-$850 million ala PIRATES 4? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 The HOBBITS will have to rely on International market to get to $1B++ Can it do $800-$850 million ala PIRATES 4? I don't think it will do 800, but 700 seems pretty fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#ED Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Somehow The Hobbit with 3D and all won't match Skyfall or TDKR? I won't say terrible but a little disappointing. This will overshadow some people's "disappointing TDKR domestic gross". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peludo Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 The HOBBITS will have to rely on International market to get to $1B++ Can it do $800-$850 million ala PIRATES 4? It depends mainly on big expanding markets like China and Russia. Russia opens tomorrow, but we have to wait until February (at least) to see China numbers. Anyway, with the initial data and before knowing the second weekend hold, I do not think it can reach 800, sadly . I agree with Baumer. 700 is a good objective.

JackO Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 I guess it is following IAL closer then I realized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Letsuseournoggin Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 The Hobbit's performance, along with TDKR's, really puts Avengers monster performance into perspective. Seriously. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
