filmnerdjamie Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 (edited) #Hobbit makes $7.9M TUE, breaks $100M mark in 5days. w/o 3D, LOTR3 did it in 4days, LOTR2 in 5days & LOTR1 in 8days. https://twitter.com/...418394266378241 As expected, it went up from Monday. Cut to some thinking $400M is back in play. Edited December 19, 2012 by filmnerdjamie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tawasal Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Who the hell is still thinking 400m? I am still worried it might not get to 300m, but all depends on the next 2 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmnerdjamie Posted December 19, 2012 Author Share Posted December 19, 2012 It'll get to $300M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 SH2 went up by 4.8% and then fell 17% the next day. So I'd say The Hobbit will fall by about 15% today to baout 6.7 mill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceroll Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 That seems like a pretty crappy Tuesday increase to me... movies have been leaping on Tuesdays this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lab276 Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 No one should be thinking of $400m. How about a more reachable milestone like $350m? 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending on how other movies increased, it could drop over 20% today. Back to I Am Legend territory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olive Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Can't see 350MFOTR (313.4m) is the target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lab276 Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Can't see 350MFOTR (313.4m) is the target.I don't see $350m either, but it sure as hell is more likely than $400m. I think $320m is where it'll finish. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Except openers, they don't go up often.Well, that's not entirely true: Here are the first Tuesday increases for other big releases since October:BD2: 16.7%Skyfall: doesn't count because of the week it openedWreck it Ralph: 60.4%Cloud Atlas: 40%PA4: 16%Argo: 6.4%Taken 2: -28%So it's really not that great an increase. But it has more to do with the time of year than anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndustriousAngel Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Can't see 350M FOTR (313.4m) is the target. Why not 350? Serious question, because I think a 4.5 multiplier is possible - it opened a week earlier than the LotR films, so holiday weekdays are a week later in its run, but they will come.

Because it is not going to have fantastic WOM. It is going to be very bifurcated to say the least. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lab276 Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Well, that's not entirely true: Here are the first Tuesday increases for other big releases since October:BD2: 16.7%Skyfall: doesn't count because of the week it openedWreck it Ralph: 60.4%Cloud Atlas: 40%PA4: 16%Argo: 6.4%Taken 2: -28%I'm sure that increase for BD2 had more to do with being Thanksgiving week, all the increases on that day were above average. WIR had its Tuesday be the election, which does wonders for kids films. CA had it the day before Halloween. Maybe increases in this part of December are more subdued?But it's still not very common.
