John Marston Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 there is nothing really wrong with the Tuesday number. Kind of sad people have to create negativity out of everything 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lab276 Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 (edited) Brave deserved to drop because it had that awful Katniss wannabe. TH2 ans 3 also have Katniss wannabe so drop away. THG also dropped... Edited December 19, 2012 by lab276 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarSaber Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 I wish the increase could have been bigger, but I'm happy that it didn't drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 (edited) If you look at the corresponsding Tuesday in 2007, you'll see this is a perfectly fine number for The Hobbit.http://www.boxofficemojo.com/daily/chart/?sortdate=2007-12-17&p=.htmIt was never going to increase more than 5%. You can't just give examples of films from different months or ones that opened on a holiday etc. Edited December 19, 2012 by Heretic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiccup Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Just because a film has a 2.5% increase on Tuesday doesn't mean it is guaranteed to do anything. Maybe if it doubled it would mean something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dementeleus Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 All it means is that TH is performing as expected, given the OW numbers and the time of year it's released. Its weekday numbers are neither poor nor exceptional. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceroll Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Expected after everyone adjusted down their expectations for it after reviews and weekend numbers came in. The Tuesday number is pretty weak overall IMO considering more and more people should be going on break as the week goes on, and the strong increases from Skyfall and Lincoln.

fishstick Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Expected after everyone adjusted down their expectations for it after reviews and weekend numbers came in. Bingo. The Tuesday number is pretty weak overall IMO considering more and more people should be going on break as the week goes on, and the strong increases from Skyfall and Lincoln. SF and Linc have better buzz and demand that goes past fanbase hence, well, you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if Skyfall had a worse increase than TH, I'd be very concerned. Edited December 19, 2012 by lab276 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

achooo Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 (edited) It's the next two week's daily's (during the holidays) that will make or break all the targets people are setting for The Hobbit. Quite honestly I thought it could fall a little or be flat at best today - often openers are, so any kind of increase is just fine, nothing more nothing less - fine.Next week between Mon and Tues it'll increase over 100% !In other news:Lincoln (awesome again)SF (see above)Looking forward to seeing Lincoln when it comes to the UK in the new year. Considering the subject matter it'll be interesting to see how it does WW. Edited December 19, 2012 by achooo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Sparrow Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Nothing can be judged from its first Tuesday. Its increase is still a good sign for this time of year and being a huge opener, but nothing really outstanding given the increases we have seen over Tuesday's this year.Plus I don't see how it is currently behaving as kids movie the opening weekend breakdown at BOM suggested 58% older though with Cinemascore it has very good potential to do well with family audience.....which is yet to be seen with holidays.

stiger Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Since it kinda underperformed, I expected 10M+ weekdays haha. Silly me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Accursed Arachnid!™ Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 I'm hearing a lot of pre-Christmas week doom and gloom on this thread. Of course 350m isn't in play....right now. But just give it a week or two, suddenly some people will be saying 500m is. OK, maybe 400, but I'm just making the point that people seem to underestimate the two weeks of Christmas' impact on legs(Then over estimate it as the two weeks play out). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
