Moviefanatic 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.Where should Skyfall be when this weekend is over? 975-980? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elessar Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 People are twisting words. The school argument was in relation to the Monday drop. Had it held better during the week it would have had a respectable weekend drop as well. Nobody said the Tuesday increase was weak due to kids being in school.

John Marston Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 weekday numbers were all fine and standard. Friday number is the first real bad number 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elessar Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 No, the hold during the week was already bad. The Friday increase is normal for this day as seen by other movies also increasing little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fake Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Where should Skyfall be when this weekend is over? 975-980?A bit under 975m (279-280m DOM. 693-694m OS) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riczhang Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 A bit under 975m (279-280m DOM. 693-694m OS)So 1 billion by next weekend, or the week after? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Gittes Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 (edited) No, the hold during the week was already bad. The Friday increase is normal for this day as seen by other movies also increasing little.It was following I Am Legend almost to a T during the week, which was perfectly fine (it might have followed Alvin and the Chipmunks and then we'd have gotten a $101m first week... how about that?) The Friday increase is bad because it's only 53% instead of IAL's 80%. That other films also increased little only goes to show that the friday Dec 21 in 2012 is worse for BO in general than the same Friday in 2007. Not only did the expected number of people not show up for TH, they didn't for most of the other movies as well.

CloneWars Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Moral of the story, don't ever adapt a book into three parts, but two parts is okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

druv10 Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 This is a never ending nightmare for Hobbit, just can't wake up from it. If something doesn't change real soon, it'll easily be the disappointment of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If something doesn't change real soon, it'll easily be the disappointment of the year.Not really - there were some real flops around. H1 will win its budget back with its theatrical run and that's something not granted with these kinds of budget. And I think the fans feel good about it too; it's just not as attractive to the general audience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dashrendar44 Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 The goal for WB is not to "win its budget back" but to make profits. I mean you don't spend that much money just to earn the same amount of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
