Christmas Day Numbers | Les Miserables: 18.1M | DU: 15M | The Hobbit: 11.3M | PG: 6.5M

[John Marston]

Yeah, I agree, that jump is completely ridiculous.

I mean what other movies have jumped that low on Christmas Day. Ugh

[FilmBuff]

Les Mis was absolutely packed today when I saw it. Can't believe it's the 'family' movie this Christmas. Anne Hathaway was fantastic.

Lets have hope. These are very early numbers.

[riczhang]

Yeah you're right but I was hoping for some very rough estimates based on past X-mas openings.

Uhm, If I had to guess I'd say in the 40s. The hard part about Christmas openers is that the last time Christmas fell on a Tuesday was 5 years ago and there's just not a lot of precedent for us to go on. Probably on it's way to ~100-120 million DOM. Edited December 25, 2012 by riczhang

Django is very violent. Not everyone likes violent movies.

It was advertised as very violent, so I don't think people who didn't like Violent movies showed up at all.

[rockNrollaDIM]

So, 15-20m OD range for Les Miz, just like some of us expected. I am not going to be seeing this, but I'm happy for it. I especially hope it will hack Floppit's legs off at the knees.

Yes, but it is really VERY violent. Going by marketing I would never say it actually surpasses Inglorious Basterds in violence.

[#ED]

Waiting to see django. I haven't seen a packed theater like this since the summer.

[rockNrollaDIM]

Ahhh, yes, and it appears Flobbit's legs are being hacked off as we speak, weren't people reaching at 14m Xmas Day??? :rofl:What will be the rationale now? How much lower can we set the bar for this unexpected Flop?

[riczhang]

Yes, but it is really VERY violent. Going by marketing I would never say it actually surpasses Inglorious Basterds in violence.

Oh, I didn't know that. It was already quite violent in the trailers, and I figured that it couldn't possibly get more violent than that. I plan on seeing it was a few of my friends by the end of this week. And more violent than basterds? That doesn't bode very well for legs.....

Logically it should've reached 14M. Not sure what's happening. Nikki's probably still cuckoo from the drugs she's taking.

Oh my god, I can only imagine fish reaction when she sees that...

[rockNrollaDIM]

I've heard that it's a dirty, uncomfortable, gruesome violent (something about a dog eating someone). That plus a zillion n-words, I'm not even sure if I'm going to like it, and I usually love QT. We'll see tomorrow, I think I'm seeing it then.

Basterds had very good legs, but I think that one was in the line between what people think it is acceptable violence and crazy violence when they go to a movie like that. Django just rapes that line.

[#ED]

Django could hit 15M!

[druv10]

that jump for Hobbit makes no sense. I just do not get it.

Damn, after the Monday number my enthusiasm was back and taken right back with this pathetic number. If that happens, we're in for a very very long holidays regarding Hobbit.

Considering NT2 jumped 95% on Christmas Day 2007 and I am Legend jumped about 120%, expecting a 14m Xmas Day was merely expecting Hobbit to follow precedent.

[rockNrollaDIM]

I'm seriously depressed that Monday thread has been abandoned for this

[CJohn]

I am too, but we knew it was going to happen sooner or later

yep, honestly this movie would be performing out of the ordinary by an extremely large amount if that number is true
