Weekend numbers thread (close between TH and DU 31.5-31 so far)

2012 is now tied with 2007 with the most 200 M films.

"Les Miserables" looks like it's doing much more business today compared to yesterday...

Is it just based on FilmBuff's post? I hope it does increase well today.

Had a look at some theaters with reserved seats and those look better than yesterday, for whatever that means. Edited December 30, 2012 by Poseidon

I believe it's definitely headed to 14-15 million dollars today. Pure guess though.

Anyone know the audience breakdown of Les Mis and Django?

floppit will end up with 305mstill below pre release expectations of 450m

:rofl: :rofl:So TH1 is a flop because it didn't make $450M? In a season where grosses are muted? Your lack of box office knowledge laughable.I was predicting $330M, so my prediction is only a bit off. Then again, I got flamed for predicting too low. You can't predict $400M+ when we know the fan base is coming on opening weekend and the grosses in December are muted. Also, the fact the movie was poorly marketed and the more kid-friendly nature turned some fans off, it's doing pretty good. Not at mega-blockbuster levels, but good for the holidays.Long short story, $450M is overemphazing the levels it was going for.

You can't be serious. Movies don't increase like that on this weekend. I'll eat my hat if it even comes close to such an increase.

That's why it's a guess, smart one.

[Elessar]

A very bad guess.

Would be amazing. Again, not happening.

There's some serious delusion and over optimistic predictions in this thread.

Highly doubt it will go up that much today. And if history is any indication, Sunday will be smaller than Friday.

Why do you say that? New Year's weekend has similar percent changes to Christmas weekend. TH1 increased big on Saturday and decreased light on Sunday. I'd expect the same for this weekend.

I'd say a 15% increase for Hobbit is what we'll see for today.

Some people have a tendency to use the words "flop" and "bomb" entirely too flippantly on here. A flop or bomb is a film that makes less than what it cost to produce and market...significantly less.

Would you youtube yourself eating a hat if it happens? Baumer did a similar thing with his dog one time.
