baumer Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 If The Hobbit does 35 thats only a 50% drop from last weekend minus the midnights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lab276 Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 $73.2m for the top 5. Last year it was $84.9m, and that was with Christmas Eve on Saturday Just to add, the top 10 is $94.4m, about $16m short of last year. It's not just TH doing crap.

CloneWars Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 We really need a WWW thread for The Hobbit. Number is abysmal beyond abysmal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatebox Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 We really need a WWW thread for The Hobbit.1. People aren't that into dwarves.2. The stakes are much lower than LotR3. By virtue of being a prequel there's less curiosity about the ending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poseidon Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 This is a very bad friday overall and it seems deflated. I don't understand why everybodys laughing at "The Hobbit"."Rise of the Guardians" only had a 75% bump, while Alvin jumped 130% in 2007.If Nikkis numbers are right, "The Hobbit" has the second best jump of all holdovers.

CloneWars Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Maybe the recent shooting is bringing up fears from Aurora.Also, a film in three parts that should be two at most is also probably holding people back. Although, personally, I felt part 1 works just fine for The Hobbit, but most moviegoers might not be willing to give it a chance for that reason.

baumer Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Please so not use the shooting as an excuse. Thats ridiculous. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CloneWars Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Please so not use the shooting as an excuse. Thats ridiculous.I was just saying that fears about Aurora may have resurfaced for some people because of the recent incident. Is that really that ridiculous of a notion. I think some people are in fear right now. Not everyone, but maybe enough to have some impact on the BO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poseidon Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Theres a song by The Sneaker Pimps. You should check it out. I think ud like it.I don't know which song you mean, but it was probably not meant as a compliment, so i'm just ignoring it and go by the facts:Bad Friday for the Hobbit, but even worse for some of the others.

The Futurist Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 The signs were there for TH, most of you just chose to NOT look at them.The pragmatic resistance warned you but you were blinded by so much fake hair and beards that you couldn't see. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poseidon Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 And i'm starting to get annoyed, constantly being under fire for trying to make reasonable statements considering box office.I haven't even seen the Hobbit yet and i'm really not emotionally involved in a movies box office run as some others here.So, Baumer, befor you start getting personal, just go and check what i stated above and then tell me, what was wrong about my statement. It's all about numbers, I look at them, i compare them, i interpret them. I'm not god and i'm, obviously, sometimes wrong but i work with what i have and normally i'm pretty decent in finding good comparisons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTX Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 2nd weekend below IAL would be really really terrible.Hope that number goes up. 11m is the minimum it needs to save its dignity. I don't find this surprising at all. Excluding midnights TH opening actually fell short of AIL's OW. And it is a fanboy flick, of course it will be frontloaded.

RTX Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 So TH1 under DH1 even with 3D boost! LOTR fanbase is no match for Potter fanbase. Really, there is no comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
