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

True. People seems to enjoy being disappointed these days.

[baumer]

Its sad that a billion dollar grosser and a musical making 150 mill are disappointments to some.

I honestly don't think the Hobbit is going to pass one billion. It would need somewhere around 700M OS (300M DOM), but I don't think it's going to gross anything more than 650M, and 350M DOM to reach one billion, seems out of reach too.Will probably end up at 900-950M, not one billion. Still, not a disappointment, considering that from the huge budget it had, the studio still manages to gain some profit.

Isn`t TH going to be a bit over $700 mio WW by Tuesday? That`s $300 mio away from $1 billion. Granted, it`s losing lucrative holiday hold from Wednsday onwards but it doesn`t quite add up that it`ll peter out so fast it won`t be able to scartch the mark. Edited December 30, 2012 by fishnets

One billion WW is not dead, it depends on its performance in china.

[fishstick]

90% members here are disappointed by Hobbit's performance. He is lying if one says not.

Well I`m sure as hell not disappointed that TH is performing like a normal big blockbuster, and not like a Cameron. Fanboys would have been insufferable.

Sat looking like

TH1 11.4m,DU 11.2,LM 9.6,PG 5.2,JR 5,TI40 4.5,Linc 2.6,Minc 2.2,GT 2.3,ROTG 1.6,Sky 1.6,SLP 1.4,LOP 1.3

OMG is this even possible? Hard R movie having the best jump in Top 3? WOM is clearly kicking in big time and rihgtly so. It`s the best holiday season movie by a landslide. Everyone brought their A+ game to this. Edited December 30, 2012 by fishnets

No one cares about jack reacher? Can it make 100m?

Tom Cruise is in fine form in the movie, but the story a little too underwhelming (I was expecting the conspiracy story would go larger in scale), especially for a movie star as bankable as Cruise. This feels like an episode of THE MENTALIST with better fights (The scene where Tom takes down 5 barfight bullies is a lot of fun) and car chases. Like I said, this is a vacation movie for Tom Cruise before OBLIVION, ALL YOU NEED IS KILL, and MISSION 5. Edited December 30, 2012 by zackzack

Oblivion earned some hearty laughs when it was shown before LM.

[Jack Sparrow]

Hobbit would need about $70m-$80m from China to get $1b. Its not impossible but not a given at this point. It needs to hold really well over January to have any hopes of a billion dollar. Regardless Bond is going to beat it

[Elessar]

We don't know how much it needs from China since we don't know how much it'll do outside China.

[fishstick]

DU is the story of the season. I freakin can`t believe Harvey didn`t send screeners to SAG. No way it would have missed Best Ensamble win. Nothing out there comes close to this. Seriously, insanely fantastic work.

[Fake]

Yeah.... too early to say anything for sure.Right now there is a chance it might hot 1 Billion, there is a chance it might not. Which one has better chance, even that can't be answered right now.

[kayumanggi]

TH is at 400 M overseas as of this Thursday. It could make 50 M - 60 M this Saturday and Sunday. So that is 450 M - 460 M. Then add 160 M - 180 M more from current markets, it could be at 610 M - 640 M before China opens.

It would be a pleasant surprise if Django would take first place from The Hobbit. Currently, the odds are in favor of Django.

[kayumanggi]

That is CRAZY for DJANGO UNCHAINED.

[DAR]

Wow at Django.

[iceroll]

I thought Les Mis was going to have a good increase today
