DAR Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 I agree on that what I'm saying is I don't think any studio would have passed on the opportunity. WB may have hemmed and hawed but eventually they agreed to it because on paper it looked like a sure thing. Now that's proving to not be the case.

John Marston Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Hmm, Friday increases were pretty bad across the board. Could this have something to do with that day in particular rather than the films? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishstick Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 If kids weren't in school, The Hobbit would have done A LOOOOT better I bet! Why? Kids like the latest cool thing and I`m sorry but 13 midgets + uber-midget haven`t been not cool since 2004. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Stingray Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 I'm not good at seeing where movies will end up based on early numbers, so where do you guys think The Hobbit will land? 300m, 350m? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAR Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Right now 290. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sims Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 The Friday increases were horrible all around 30 40 50 percentAnd yet The Hobbit is the only one with an awful week-to-week drop.

fishstick Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 I have to admit I get a perverse joy out of these Hobbit numbers. I'm a sick individual.You are not a sick individual. This is a blantant cash grab that didn`t have to be 2 movies let alone 3, that neglected animals who died as a result, that introduced new gimmick that doesn`t enhance movie-going experience but make it look like watching a cosplay, that didn`t bring anything new to the table but aped the narrative structure of a superior movie and is riding high with fanboys only on the goodwill from previous movies and their denial not unlike the one that made TPM a "good" movie for far too long, though this one is more forgettable than a trainwreck by the sound of it, that is directed by the most overrated self-serving self-indulging self-bloating director alive whose NZ Zindabad schtick has worn its welcome 10 years ago,etc. What`s not not to like? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ddddeeee Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Nikki is fucked in the head if she doesn't recognize that mediocre opening, shit legs, poor reviews, and huge drop in admissions from original LOTR. I'm very disappointed in her.I think she might have given up drink for the holidays. She hasn't done anything brilliant in a while. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elessar Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 You must have forgotten that being one of the key excuses during the weekday grosses.The argument was for the Monday drop. For some reason, some people expected a drop of like 50% or even less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Gittes Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 I'm not good at seeing where movies will end up based on early numbers, so where do you guys think The Hobbit will land? 300m, 350m?285-310. Next weekend's hold will be what ultimately makes or breaks $300m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fake Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 TH1 and BD2 both need big Saturday bumps to hit $300m.Skyfall looks in a comfortable position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
